FRAMINGHAM – The 2022 season of the Framingham Farmers Market gets underway Thursday, June 23 on the Centre Common on Edgell Road.

For 2022, the market is transitioning to City of Framingham ownership and management, and features an important shift in timing to be late afternoon 3 to 7 p.m., to better match consumer requests.

The program has been expanded including invitations to hundreds of vendors across Eastern Massachusetts to join this program. Mayor Charlie Sisitsky has requested the market be free to participate in, opening up unique opportunities for small businesses from food and non-food categories to take part.

First week food vendors (pending their Board of Health certifications) include Uncle Joeys cannoli, Breadboard Bakery, Sherman & Cherie’s Breezy Bees, Birch Tree Bread Company, Reis Bakery, AZ Nordic Kvass, Lost Art Cultured Foods (organic sauerkraut), Little Maven Lemonade, Great Harvest Bread Co and FSG Baking.
