With the Freshness: Waltham Farmers' Market Holds Special Spring Market

There are few things better than heading home with a bag of fruits and veggies, organic meats, baked goods and a host of other fresh products from a farmers’ market.

The Waltham Farmers’ Market is holding a special spring market on Saturday, May 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

More than two dozen vendors sell their goods at the spring market, bringing plants, Massachusetts-grown fruits and vegetables, organic and specialty produce, herbs, cheese, eggs, maple syrup products, beef, pork, chicken, fish, smoked fish, coffee, sauces, baked goods, pasta, gluten-free baked goods, candies, juice, halvah, soap, dog treats, jewelry, bags and handcrafts, said the announcements.

The Watch City Steampunk Festival also performs at the market.

The market is held at School and Lexington Streets, in the Government Center lot, Waltham. Parking is available behind the building off Lexington Street and at the Central Square Parking Deck, accessible by both Lexington and Common Streets. The market has pedestrian access from both School and Lexington Streets.

The Waltham Farmers’ Market was started by a group of Waltham activists in 1991, said the release. This year marks its 25th season, which officially kicks off June 13.

SNAP EBT cards can be used at eligible vendors and SNAP purchases up to $10 per person per week will be matched, with support from The Jones Partnership Fund. Credit and debit cards are accepted by all vendors.

The market is held rain or shine and is wheelchair-, bicycle- and stroller-accessible. Leashed pets are welcome.
