- Ever wake up on a Saturday with that nagging question in your head—where can I find tasty food, good coffee, cool local people to hang with, live music, cute dogs, good vibes, and sunshine, all in one place while supporting community and local agriculture? Egleston Farmers Market is the place for you. Located in the Egleston Square neighborhood between JP and Roxbury, the cozy community market sets up behind the Sam Adams Brewery on Saturday mornings through November. It’s an easy spot to meander to if you’re walking through Southwest Corridor Park (between Jackson Square and Stony Brook T stops on the Orange Line).
- There’s live music every week, and a chill atmosphere. You can take your time here. Talk to the vendors and sip on some coffee from El Colombiano roasters, and get a snack from Mr. Tamole or SamosaMan. Besides beautiful veggies from farms like The Food Project, Brookford Farm, and The Neighborhood Farm, you can also find fresh-caught seafood from Red’s Best, pasture-raised meat and local dairy, homemade pasta, homemade soap, a vendor specializing only in hummus, and more. Plus you can get your CBD fix from CBD Thera. Nourish your belly and the local economy.
- You’ll be supporting a volunteer and community-led market whose mission is “fostering our food-based community, bringing people together from all parts of Jamaica Plain and Roxbury…committed to helping make local, healthy food affordable.” You can also bring your EBT card and earn SNAP benefits. Even if you don’t want to spend any dollars, the market is totally a cool Place to Hang and soak up the good vibes. Saturdays 10am-2pm May-Nov, 31 Germania St.
