May is more than halfway over, and as summer gets closer, the local farmers markets come out to play. Fresh produce that runs the gamut from leafy greens to berries and everything in between can be found in abundance, lining outdoor areas and selling honeys, syrups, meats, breads, flowers and more market finds. Now, it’s time to ditch the produce section of Shaws – farmers markets are back in season.
Today, a brand new market opens near Haymarket, kicking off the year with much buzz about both farmers market season and the forthcoming Boston Public Market, which the new market will be adjacent to. Now that the market is open for the season, let’s take a look at when we can expect to find more farmers markets open around the city, including the ones that are already open for business for 2014, courtesy of Federation of Mass Farmers Markets.
Rejoice, fruit and veggie munchers and local lovers. It’s farmers market season again.
