FRAMINGHAM – This week is National Farmers’ Market Week. It is also week 8 of the Framingham Farmers’ Market.

Last week, the Massachusetts Commissioner for Agriculture and members of the Massachusetts Farmers’ Market paid a visit to the new revitalized Framingham Farmers’ Market. They met with market manager Bill Sell and Mayor Charlie Sisitsky.

They were impressed with the turnaround of the Framingham Farmers’ Market between 2021 and 2022.

The market has new hours for 2022 and there is no fee for vendors in 2022.

Hours are now Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Framingham Centre Common. Some of the food trucks do arrive early.

Scheduled vendors this week are:

Week 8 – Thursday August 11th 3:00-7:00 pm for the market; 12:00-7:00 for food trucks. It’s National Farmers Market Week and visitors can pick up their free I ‘Heart’ Farmers Markets temporary tattoos at the market manager’s new red top tent (our other two tents didn’t make it with the wind, just like so many of our vendors tents, so we picked bright red to help you find us).

Much more comfortable temperatures and no rain in the afternoon forecast. Historic Village Hall will be conducting an Open House all afternoon – stop in!

Food truck Thee Taco Dude – open at noon

Food truck Trolley Dogs (first time at the market) – open at noon

Food truck Uncle Joey’s Cannoli – open before 3

Food truck Velma’s Kettle Corn – open at noon

Food truck Kona Ice – open before 3
