Is The Westford Farmers' Market Cheaper Than Grocery Stores?

Westford Area Grocery prices for the week of June 25.

Last week, we took a few photos from the opening of the Westford Farmers' Market, and today we wanted to take a look at how much things cost at the Farmers Market versus local grocery stores.

Just a warning, some of these vegetables can be found in various forms at the various stores, we attempted to compare the items as closely as possible to how they were found from various vendors at the Market.

Prices at the Market were taken on June 19, prices at other stores were taken on June 25. Availability and prices may change without notice, and prices may not include taxes and fees.
