Are you getting your food from one of Worcester’s farmers markets?
Worcester’s farmers markets
Here’s what I love about Worcester: It has a lot of interesting things, but you have to do a little looking to find them. Did you know that Worcester has 6 or more weekly farmers markets? Each one offers fresh, organic produce and yummy baked goods. And you can’t beat the prices when you’re buying directly from the producer.
The Main South Farmers Market
Of them all, the Main South farmers market really stands out. 2009 is its second year and this weekly event will definitely be the most interesting farmers market in Worcester. What sets it apart from the others is that it has more of a festival tone to it. Yeah, you can buy your groceries there, but it’s also a weekly celebration of sustainability and Massachusetts foods. There’s live music, cooking classes, yummy vegan treats, and some nifty educational-type things.
When is it?
The Main South farmers market starts June 6 and lasts 22 weeks–that’s all the way through October.
Where is it?
It takes place at the corner of Main Street and Benefit Street, right across the street from the Artichoke food coop.

I love the Main South farmers market, last year a band was playing and the neighborhood is always entertaining.
The Main South Farmers Market is every Saturday from 10-2.
