Last Sunday afternoon, we went to the grand opening of the new Brookline Winter Farmers' Market<\/a> at the Arcade Building on Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner. <\/p>\n

Some of our favorite vendors from the town's seasonal outdoor market moved inside this wonderful, 1927 architectural gem for the winter. And, they've given us a reason to get to know the wonderful small businesses that are permanently located in this space. We will be doing a follow up story on the Arcade and its businesses!<\/p>\n

One end of the array of vendors was anchored by Stillman's Farm<\/a> with both produce, eggs, and meat \u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 while Silverbrook Farm<\/a> had their selection of organic food and jams at the other end. That's Chef <\/a>JJ Gonson<\/a> <\/strong>from Cuisine en Locale<\/a> checking one more thing off her shopping list. JJ moved from vendor-to-vendor saying hello to friends, shopping the market, and leaving smiling faces in her wake.<\/p>\n

Between the two were vendors with strong followings like Clear Flour Bread<\/a>, Nella Pasta<\/a>, Cape Cod Fish Share<\/a>, Cannistraci Fine Foods<\/a>, Cook's Farm Orchard<\/a>, Samira's Homemade<\/a>, and out of her food truck and warm inside our pal Diane from The Cupcakory!<\/a><\/p>\n

    We hope by next week market organizers will have lots of balloons, signs, and perhaps someone dancing in a broccoli suit outside both market entrances to let passersby know what's happening inside. But, in case they don't, here's what you need to help you find it. <\/p>\n

    The building is at 318 Harvard Street (map<\/a>) two blocks from the Coolidge Corner MBTA stop on the Green C-line. That's the point were Babcock Street meets Harvard. From the parking lot on Centre Street, in the rear, it has a large mural to help you find your way. <\/p>\n

    This market is scheduled to operate until June. <\/p>\n
