New Bedford Farmers Markets 2012

It’s summertime again in New Bedford, which means great weather, visits to local beaches and of course farmers’ markets. Farmers’ markets provide us with fresh, locally-grown and often organic, produce at a great price. As a supporter of small business and someone that ensures vegetables make up the majority of every meal, I visit farmers’ markets every chance I get. From early July through late October, New Bedford hosts three farmers’ markets on three different days of the week. Here is a list of the three New Bedford farmers’ market locations with times and details on each.
