Winter Farmers Markets Open Now

Winter Farmers Markets Open Now

Go local. It's not just our name, it's also a very good idea when it comes to buying food. Even though New England has a relatively short growing season, smart farming and a strong farmers market system has helped to make local food available—and affordable—year-round now. This Saturday is the best time to go local to prepare for your Thanksgiving dinner because the farmers are pulling out all the stops at these Winter Farmers Markets.
