Union Square Farmers Market

The market schedule is May 9, 2026 - Oct 31, 2026. Early shoppers typically find the largest selection before popular vendors sell out.

From Vegetables and Fruits, Union Square Farmers Market gives shoppers access to a wide range of locally sourced products each market day.

Farmers markets like Union Square Farmers Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Union Square Farmers Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Somerville residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Union Square Farmers Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Union Square Farmers Market draws shoppers from across the Somerville area who value knowing where their food comes from. Unlike the anonymized supply chains that supply most grocery stores, every item at this market was grown or produced by a vendor you can talk to, ask questions of, and build a relationship with over the course of the season.

Union Square Farmers Market supports the livelihoods of independent farmers and food producers in the Somerville area while giving shoppers a meaningful alternative to industrially produced food.
