It is
now officially harvest season and the farmers
markets in Boston
are exploding with fresh fruits and veggies. 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 is a
list of a few of the favorite
Boston
farmers markets, the City
of Boston website has a full rundown of all the city-wide markets.
Downtown.
The Boston
University Farmers Market not only features local farmers and
artisan producers but you will also find local musicians. Offered at
the Boston University Student Center this fall from Sept 8th
-October 27th.
Back
Bay. 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. At the
corner of Boylston and Dartmouth through the end of November,
Tuesdays and Fridays, 11am-6pm.
Jamaica
Plain. The Jamaica
Plan Farmers Market is a small neighborhood market highlighting
produce from Stillman's Farm.
Held at the Bank of America parking lot on Centre Street Tuesday's,
12pm-5pm and Saturdays, 12pm-3pm through the end of November. You can
locally raised meats, bakery, and honey, in addition to the freshest
produce.
Roxbury/Mission
Hill Market. The
Roxbury/Mission Hill Market is held at Brigham Circle, the
intersection of Huntington Ave and Tremont St in Roxbury. Open
through the end of November on Thursdays, 11am-6pm. Although small
they provide plenty of seasonal vegetables, herbs, and plants.
I hope
you take the time to visit one or more of these markets and fill your
pantry with locally grown, sustainable food. As your Boston
real estate agent I am
always here should you have a question on a neighborhood such as
South
End, Fenway,
Beacon
Hill, or any other. I thoroughly enjoy getting prospective
residents familiar with new neighborhoods and exposing them to the
best of everything Boston has to offer. Contact
a Boston
real estate agent should
you need assistance! I hope to hear from you soon.
