The South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation (SBNDC), sponsor of the South Boston Farmers Market, will hold an Opening Day Celebration at the market on June 4th. Get some early spring vegetables, such as asparagus, lettuce, herbs as well as potted flowers; hot house zucchini and tomatoes from our returning Massachusetts based Freitas’ & Wenger’s Farms. Wenger’s will also carry their (in-) famous baked goods such as cookies and pies, bread, local jams, honey, flowers and hand-crafted soaps.
For Opening Day, The SBNDC will give away $2 coupons to its market shoppers, valid for fresh and healthy market products (as long as supplies last). Come to the market manager’s tent to get the coupon, including our market loyalty card!
Of course, there cannot be an opening day without live music by our favorite market band, Jan and Lou Borelli from 12-3:00 pm.The market season begins on Opening Day on June 4th and will go through October 29th, and will be held every Monday from 12-6pm at 446 Broadway, on the sidewalk in front of the municipal parking lot.
The South Boston Farmers Market accepts EBT/SNAP, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons, and has the Healthy Incentive SNAP match program (HIP) available for EBT/SNAP users.
