The Boston area farmers' market season is in full bloom. At the Federation of Mass Farmers Markets website you'll find all the information you need on area markets.
Redesigned for this season, the Federation's site is a resource for shoppers, farmers, and host communities.
Click on the shopper's button and you can find a market near you with information on location, dates, hours, vendors, and products. You can sign up for email reminders of market days and an email newsletter with the latest information as the season progresses.
The Federation is a non-profit whose mission is, "...to partner with farmers, consumers, and communities to foster, enhance and sustain farmers market in Massachusetts in order to improve regional farm viability, consumer nutrition, and community social and economic development."
If this mission is important to you, we encourage you to support the Federation's work with your contributions.
You can do that this weekend by visiting a restaurant taking part in the second annual Mass Farmers' Market Strawberry Dessert Festival. You enjoy a a fresh flavored dessert and a portion of the proceeds supports the federations' work.
You'll find a list of participating restaurants here:
