When to Visit
About the Market
Background
Located at City Hall Plaza, the Brockton Farmers Market has become a community hub where local farmers and artisans gather to offer their products. Known for its diverse range of vendors, the market has grown to include not just farm produce but also handmade goods and educational resources.
Practices
The market emphasizes local agriculture and supports small-scale farmers by providing them with a platform to sell their goods directly to consumers. This direct-to-consumer model fosters a closer relationship between the community and the people who grow their food, promoting transparency and trust.
The Rest
The market offers free lunch for kids and teens, and children's entertainment is provided by the Brockton Public Library. Additionally, visitors can benefit from recipes and nutrition tips from the UMass Extension Nutrition Information Program, and interpreters from the Brockton Neighborhood Health Center are available to assist non-English speaking attendees.
