What is the Cambridge Winter Farmers Market?
- Just like the summer farm markets, it’s a place you can buy foods grown and made in Massachusetts and the surrounding states.
- Every week 2 dozen vendors sell all sorts groceries and treats: vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, cheese, bread, eggs, pasta and sauces, jam, cookies, candy, even wine.
- The market takes place inside the gymnasium at the Cambridge Community Center, 5 Callender Street, 02139.
- It’s near the intersection of Western Ave. and Putnam Ave. You’ll see street signs posted nearby on market days.
- Anyone can shop - no membership needed! Everyone is welcome to come and have a look around. It’s a gathering place as well as a market.
- There are so many foods & crafts on offer. Some are expensive, and some are not. No matter your budget, you can find ingredients for a hearty meal, choose ready-made coffee, breakfast or lunch, or just enjoy the live music.
- If you have SNAP benefits, the market increases your buying power. We match your first $15 of SNAP credit with $15 more. So $15 in SNAP credit becomes $30 in market cash every week. Just visit the manager’s table when you arrive.
- The winter market is more fun. Every week there are free samples, live music and great activities for kids and adults.
- Your food choices matter to your health and the local economy. By shopping at the winter market, you support both.
