Fresh locally grown produce, honey, and local meat are about to be available once again at the farmer’s market in Belmont. This great event is perfect for connecting with the community, being entertained, and getting yummy treats to last the whole week.
The farmers market is located on Glenway Street next to the railroad tracks. Opening date should be Thursday September 22nd from 3:30 – 7 pm. Of course, with any outdoor event, weather can cancel the event.
There has not been a farmers market in Belmont for more than five years. Many local farmers are already busy on the weekends with markets in surrounding towns. This makes a Thursday market good for farmers, and is hopefully great for buyers as they come home from work and can grab fresh foods to last them through the weekend.
At this time, there will only be food vendors at the market, but there could be an arts and crafts component in the future. Live music and entertainment could also follow as is typical at a lot of farmers markets. Tote bags will be available for purchase if you forget your reusable bag at home.
The farmers market will run through the fall, then return in the spring when farmers have produce available again. Tentative dates through the fall are September 22, October 20, and November 17. This last date is just in time to stock up before Thanksgiving.
