Farmers Markets In and Around Boston

Farmers market season has begun!

What does fresh kale, local corn, and home made jams have to do with real estate?

Judging for the positive impact the farmers market in Roslindale has on the village and the community around it, I would say the availability fresh local produce are healthy both for our bodies and our economy.

I love farmers’ markets and I am proud of Boston’s dedication to getting them into every neighborhood. For the next few months you’ll find me regularly at the Newton, Brookline and Roslindale markets. And, no, I won’t be annoyed if you stop me for a real estate market chat.

Below find a list of Farmers Markets in Boston and some of the suburbs. If you think I missed a good market, please add it to the list or write me directly. Or your can simply vote for your favorite one.
