INTO SPRING at Plimoth Plantation


The Plymouth Farmers’ Market is a truly local market; we offer products that are grown or made in Massachusetts with locally sourced ingredients with emphasis on specialties from the South Coast area. Ours is one of the best attended farmers' market south of Boston. People arrive looking for good food, exceptional value and open air performances by local musicians. The Plymouth Farmers’ Market gives priority to farmers and agricultural products but also includes handmade and homemade creations. Our wonderful vendors contribute to the friendly climate of the market through appealing display, effective labeling and clear signage, cheerful and welcoming interactions, and generally pitching in to make this market successful. Our market members' commitments to raising sustainable foods in our region are admirable and now may be enjoyed  in each season.
