The residents of East Boston come from many different places and have many favorite foods. Our community has roots in the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The East Boston Farmers Market is an excellent source for the greens, herbs, fruits, and vegetables of all our traditions: tomatoes, corn and beans, hot peppers and amaranth, yierba mora, and papalo, water spinach and bok choy, pea tendrils, scallions and Asian mustard, collard greens, cilantro, peaches and apples, Italian and sweet Thai basil. Our farmers take pride in their locally grown crops so that you can have the freshest and best produce for your family's table.


Fun: Something is always happening at the Farmers Market
Every Wednesday afternoon during the summer and fall, the Farmers Market brings together farmers and neighbors to shop, enjoy performances by local musicians, and find information on healthy eating. The Farmers Market is the place to see friends, meet your neighbors, and celebrate being a member of our diverse and vibrant community.
