The Cambridge Farmers Market offers a wide variety of fresh foods and other products from local farmers, artisans, vintners, and bakers. The range of products varies but may include:
- Fresh and organic vegetables
- Locally raised meats
- Breads and other baked goods
- Apples and cider
- Maple products
- Honey
- Farmstead cheeses
- Wine
- Salsas and garlic
- Coffee
- Prepared foods and snacks
- Flowers and holiday decor
- Crafts and ornaments
- Lotions and soaps
- Alpaca wool and other products
Purchasing locally from small businesses such as these is a healthful and enjoyably social way to invigorate the local economy. It reduces carbon emissions by avoiding long-distance supply chains. And it helps to maintain and build the local farming base as a way to ensure a plentiful food supply in the uncertain future.
The market is held on Sundays, usually from May through December.
