Boston Public Market open Wednesday to Sunday, 8 am to 8 pm, serving lunch, too! [View all]

Great story on Chronicle tonight about the Boston Public Market. https://bostonpublicmarket.org/

It's above the Haymarket Square T Station, selling locally grown food.

It's not for profit. It's year round (unlike the outdoor farmers' markets that dot Boston until November).

All but 2 of its vendors are from Massachusetts, so it's "hyper local."

It matches SNAP dollar for dollar, thanks to a Boston Mayoral program.

Everything isn't fruit and veg. There are doughnuts! And locally "grown" honey.

There are cooking classes, including one for kids that is taught by Children's Museum staff and Cooking on a Budget, sponsored by Project Bread.

There is an educational program called "taste of the season" sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

And more.

It's the first indoor public market to open in Boston since the venerable Quincy Market.

It serves lunch.

Check out the website and y'awl come!
