Who doesn't love a good farmers market? Aside from the obvious benefits of access to freshly grown or recently homemade foods, I find the little details of the farmers market most rewarding. The dirt-stained hands and clothes of individuals who don't appear dirty all but rather more wholesome as a result of their profession. The early morning calm, the prideful eyes of vendors, and the curious hands and mouths of would-be buyers. Farmers markets somehow seem even more precious to those of us living in the twisted and tangled concrete jungles that are modern American cities.
To pay homage to all the street corners and public squares in Boston where slow, local food thrives, I've put together the map below. Find the closest market to you. Don't forget to check the dates and times of operation. Some markets are summer or winter only. Also it should be noted that the source of this information was a set of disparate government files from 2013 (the latest available). It was quite a feat to turn them into something useable, the process for which I plan to go over in my next post.
Enjoy.
