Farmers Markets near Boston, MA

East Boston

Boston

Run by the South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation, this market sets up at 446 West Broadway on Mondays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., June through November. It brings the same weekly fresh-produce access to Southie that other Boston neighborhoods get through their own markets.

This market sets up on Northeastern's campus at 115 Forsyth Street, drawing students and Mission Hill/Fenway neighbors to an indoor space stocked with produce and prepared foods from Boston-area growers. Cash and cards work at every stall; some vendors also take SNAP, EBT, FMNP, and WIC.

Boston

The Boston Public Market Association runs this outdoor, seasonal counterpart to its indoor Hanover Street market, set up along the Rose Kennedy Greenway near Haymarket station. Both locations require vendors to sell food grown, raised, or produced in New England, no exceptions. It's a walkable stop for produce, seafood, and prepared foods between the North End and downtown.

Boston

Commonwealth Kitchen is a shared commercial kitchen and food business incubator in Dorchester, not a market itself — it's where many of the small food producers who eventually sell at Boston-area markets get their start. Members get kitchen time, help with co-manufacturing and scaling production, and business mentoring built around equity in the food industry. It functions more like a business accelerator with ovens than a place the public walks in to shop.

Boston

This market sets up at Brigham Circle — the intersection of Huntington Avenue and Tremont Street in Mission Hill — Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., June through December. It's organized through the Mission Hill Health Movement as part of a push to put fresh food within walking distance of a dense, transit-heavy neighborhood.

Community Servings' Farmers' Market operates out of the Jamaica Plain nonprofit's Marbury Terrace property, part of an organization built around delivering medically tailored, scratch-cooked meals to people managing critical illness across Massachusetts.

The Farmers' Market at Harvard has run on the Science Center Plaza near Oxford and Kirkland streets since 2005, with produce, cheese, baked goods, maple syrup, and live music drawing students and neighbors alike.

Somerville's only cold-weather market runs Saturdays, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., from November through April, inside the Center for Arts at the Armory at 191 Highland Avenue.

Everett

Everett Farmers' Market sets up on School Street, off Broadway, on the second and fourth Saturday of each month through September, 11 to 3. The city runs an active push each season to recruit local vendors, so the lineup of produce and goods can shift market to market.
