When the vendors loaded their trucks at the last Union Square farmer market of the season, I let out a big (and quite audible) sigh.  My ability to score fantastic, local produce was gone and so was the summer.   BUT, I started thinking….there’s got to be some winter farmer’s markets out there.  Well……OF COURSE THERE IS.

Boston Family Life compiled an incredible list of winter markets around the state.  Check out the info HERE.

    I’m a merchant at the Newburyport market. Please keep supporting your markets through the fall. Farmers and merchants like me (baked goods) rely not only on your dollars, but on your enthusiasm for locally-produced products!

    Shopped at Davis Sq Somerville market yesterday and it looked more like Sept than Nov. Crowded and full of wonderful choices. Bought brioche, carrots, onions, garlic, beets, apples, lettuce, turnips.

    I, too, miss the farmers markets in winter. I’m not sure I’ll get to Natick regularly, but I’m glad to know it’s there. And it’s good to know when the other markets end. Thanks!
