It's
that time of year that the farmers
markets in Boston,
MA are heading back
outside and opening up for the Spring/Summer season. All around our
beautiful city you can find farmers markets brimming with local,
affordable produce, fish, meat, cheeses and other locally Boston-made
small batch products like jams and jellies. I can't think of a better
way to explore around our city than to visit these markets. Farmers
markets are more than just a chance to grocery shop, they are also a
great gathering space for the community to get together. Here are a
few of the offerings Boston,
MA has to offer.
Downtown
The
Copley
Square Farmers Market is one of the largest markets in
Massachusetts. It's mission is to partner with farmers, consumers,
and communities to foster, enhance, and sustain farmers markets in
Massachusetts in order to improve regional farm viability, consumer
nutrition, and community social and economic development.
Along
St. James Avenue, Dartmouth Street & Boylston Street
through the end of
November, Tuesdays and Fridays, 11am-6pm.
Jamaica
Plain/Mission Hill
The
Jamaica
Plan Farmers Market is a small neighborhood market highlighting
produce from Stillman's Farm
and it will be opening up June 12th
and runs through November. It is held at the Bank of America parking
lot on Centre Street Tuesday 12pm-5pm and Saturday 12pm-3pm. You can
locally raised meats, bakery, and honey, in addition to the freshest
produce.
Dorchester/Roxbury
The
ReVision
Urban Farm stand is a community-based urban agriculture project
that grows produce in its own fields and provides access to
affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food to residents
of the ReVision Family Home and the extended community. Located at
Blue Hill Avenue and Arbutus Street, Fridays 2pm-6pm starting July
10th.
I hope
you take the time to visit one or more of these markets and fill your
pantry with locally grown, sustainable food. Should you have a
question on a Boston,
MA neighborhood
such as South
End, Fenway,
Beacon
Hill, or any other, please contact
a Boston,
MA real estate agent.
I thoroughly enjoy getting prospective residents familiar with new
neighborhoods and exposing them to the best of everything Boston has
to offer. I hope to speak with you soon!
