Start of the Newton Farmers Market 2013
Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013
Yay! It’s the start of this years Newton (Outdoor) Farmers Market! We’ve been waiting all year for July to come around so we can match our income at the Framingham Farmers Market on Thursdays. The Newton farmers market is every Tuesday from 1:30-6pm at the Cold Springs Park in Newton, MA. The market has been around for ever and has a really nice selection of veggies and other goodies. We waited all year for this.
The Newton winter market was kind of iffy. We suspected it was because we didn’t have ANY bakers there selling yummy, fresh baked goods. We confirmed this at the opening of the summer market. We asked just about everybody if they went to the winter market and many didn’t even know it existed. The few people who did go down there confirmed that they were disappointed that there were no baked goods. Many people just showed up on the first day and never came back. Since there aren’t that many fresh veggies during the winter, baked goods seem to be the “anchor” table at these winter markets. As an example, the Easton Indoor Farmers Market had 5 baked goods tables and that place was hopping back in March.
