Farmers Markets near Harvard, MA

Acton

This listing is Boston Area Gleaners, a nonprofit that harvests surplus crops left in the field after a farm's commercial pick is done and routes the produce to families facing food insecurity around Boston. Its food hub function handles the sorting, cold storage, and transport that turns gleaned produce into usable donations rather than compost. The organization estimates roughly a third of Massachusetts households deal with food insecurity, which is the problem the gleaning model is built to chip away at.

Lancaster

Shirley

This open-air market sets up at 3 Parker Road in Shirley Center, historically running Thursdays — 4 to 8 p.m. in summer, shifting to 3 to 7 p.m. as fall days shorten. Worth calling ahead, since some listings suggest the market has gone quiet in recent seasons.

Concord Community Market sets up on the grounds of the Old Manse, the 1770 parsonage on Monument Street where Ralph Waldo Emerson once lived and Nathaniel Hawthorne later wrote — now a nonprofit museum run by The Trustees of Reservations.

next to Kimball's Ice Cream Stand Carlisle

Carlisle Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings, 8 to noon, in the lot next to Kimball Farm's ice cream stand on Bedford Road, an easy pairing of a produce run and a cone.

Pepperell
