It's that time of year that the farmers markets in Boston,
MA are starting to produce fresh local vegetables
and the weather is finally perfect for strolling the markets. 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. Its mission is to partner with farmers, consumers, and communities
to foster, enhance, and sustain farmers markets in Massachusetts 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 is open now
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. Produce is sold at the Revision Urban Farm Stand, 1062 Blue
Hill Avenue, Dorchester, Fridays July – October, 3-7pm, DotHouse Farmer’s Market, 1353 Dorchester Ave, Tuesdays,

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.
