Believe It Or Not, It's Farmers Market Season

The Copley Square Farmers Market opens today, marking the official start of the market season in the Boston area. Rain or shine. (Judging by the forecast, almost certainly rain.)

The market runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will continue on Tuesdays and Fridays (same hours) until just before Thanksgiving. 

Vendors include several regional farms, selling both organic and conventional produce, humanely-raised meats and other artisan products, like cheese, jam and baked goods. For a full listing, visit the Mass Farmers Market site. 

The market accepts EBT through the Boston Bounty Bucks program. For more info on how that program works, click here.
