Farmers Markets Throughout New England

One of the things we like about summer is gardening and its results of fresh vegetables.  We have a small 10’ x 10’ garden that we use to grow some of the vegetables that we like; such as tomatoes, green beans, sweet corn, squash, cucumbers, beets, and pok choy.  For other fresh vegetables or for those who do not have a garden of their own; there are several Farmers’ markets throughout the New England area that offer a wide variety of vegetables and fruit.

Fresh vegetables from Farmers markets usually are from small scale vegetable Farmers’ and have excellent quality.  Often at a reasonable prices for the quality.  We have seen the size of the markets range from a few Farmers to 50 or more.  Some of the markets start in May and go until October.

Farmers markets are a good source for vegetables that can be canned or frozen for use during the long months of New England winter.  Frozen fresh vegetables during the winter is the next best vegetables one could get.  For those that are new to canning or freezing vegetables, there are several websites that explain how to do it.  Your local library probably has books about canning and freezing vegetables.

Below is a list of a few Farmers Markets by state.  There are many more than we did not list. If you know of one we missed please leave a comment below and we will add it.
