About the Market

Background

Cambridge Farmers' Markets is an association of three weekend markets in Cambridge, dedicated to promoting local farms and small food enterprises. The markets have become a hub for the community to access fresh, locally-produced goods and to foster direct relationships between farmers and consumers.

Practices

The markets prioritize vendors who use locally sourced ingredients and showcase local sustainable agriculture. They aim to educate the public on food, health, and agriculture topics through interactive events and displays, and seek innovative partnerships to strengthen the regional food supply chain and economy.

The Rest

Visitors can find a wide range of products including fresh bread, organic produce, cut flowers, herb and tomato plants, baked goods, cheeses, wine, pastured eggs, various meats, cultivated and wild mushrooms, chocolates, cider, and maple syrup. The markets provide an opportunity to fill an entire grocery bag with high-quality, locally-produced items.
