    Artisan cheese is another reason to visit farmers' markets.

    Cheesemakers like Smith's Farmstead Cheese, Narragansett Creamery, Crystal Brook Farm, Ruggles Hill Creamery, Fiore di Nonno, and Foxboro Cheese are among the cheese options you can find at Boston area farmers' markets.

    Crystal Brook Farm offers a delightful goat cheese picnic lunch. The day we took this photo each bag included a container of their goat cheese with olive oil and herbs de Provence, french bread, trail mix, a plate, napkin, knife, and a dollar-off coupon for the next purchase. 

    In season right now!

    This is the height of the harvest season. The stone fruit selection is glorious, the vegetables overflow their bins, and you enjoy each bite knowing this-or-that will soon be gone.

    Get Some before it's gone! 

    Berries, stone fruit, heirloom tomatoes, and local honey – we've begun stockpiling our favorite from Foppema's Farm for winter.

    Coming Soon!

    Mums for fall planting, herbs for window sills, pumpkins, winter squash, late season apples.

  • Early Season at the Copley Square Market

    The Copley Square Farmers' Market opened on Tuesday and we were there gathering fresh food and taking photos to report to our BostonZest readers.

    This market is a meeting place for the surrounding communities. We ran into friends and neighbors and enjoyed catching up with them and the vendors we've come to know over the years.

    Atlas-greens-

    Atlas Farm had a great selection of greens. We have an Atlas Market Share and picked up romaine lettuce and baby arugula. They hope to have asparagus and strawberries perhaps as early as Friday's Copley Market.

    Rhubarb- Rhubarb- (1)

    Early season favorites like rhubarb and radishes were on the Foppema's Farm/Keown Orchards stand.

    Honey-

    We were happy to see a good supply of our favorite honey at this stand.

    -stillmans-annuals-herbs-plants-starters-

    Stillman's Farm has a good selection of annuals, herbs, and flowers to plant in your own garden, and a good supply of meat from Stillman's at the Turkey Farm.

    Stillman's farmers!

    As always, it's good to see our farmers back. The Stillman team stopped long enough to pose for us.

    -mushrooms- green garlic-sienna-farm-

    Mushrooms were on offer at Siena Farms.

    Copley-market- purchases- farmers- market-

    Here's what we brought home today: Greens from Atlas Farm, bread from Iggy's, Spicy Pickles from Maine Homestead Farm, a three-course lunch from Seta's Mediterranean Foods, Almonds from Fastachi, Feta cheese from Narragansett Creamery and granola bars from Cook's Farm Orchard.

    There were plenty of prepared foods, baked goods, and lunch options at the market. And, of course, each new market will bring more fresh food harvested by local farms.
