Somerville's Assembly Row Getting Summer Addition

SOMERVILLE, MA — Assembly Row announced a significant addition coming to its multi-faceted neighborhood this coming summer.

An outdoor farmer’s market is coming to the center on a weekly basis beginning on Friday, June 12. The market is slated to set up shop between the Shake Shack and Caffe Nero at 355 Assembly Row. According to Assembly Row, the market will feature 30 vendor stalls that sell items such as organic produce, bread and pastries, eggs and other dairy products, grass-fed meat, fresh seafood, honey, maple syrup, jams, and other special condiments, and mushrooms.

Some of the vendors who are confirmed to partake in the market and sell their products include Heavens Harvest Farm, Blisspoint Meadery, Simply Sharp, and Chockalog Farm.

All participating vendors will be vetted for product quality, transparency, and compliance with local health codes. Vendors marketing their products as “organic” will be reviewed for appropriate certifications and training in recognized organic practices. In addition, at least one of the vendors will be Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Healthy Incentives Program certified.

“I have a deep love for our farmers markets in Somerville. It's so great to bring people closer to the source of their food in the most densely populated city in New England,” Mayor Jake Wilson said in a statement. “And improving affordable access to healthy foods with SNAP and HIP is wonderful for our community, with food insecurity on the rise here."

The market will be open on Fridays between the hours of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Assembly Row consists of restaurants, retail stores, residences, entertainment offerings, and office space.

“These markets are crucial outlets for Massachusetts farmers which enable them to sell their products directly to consumers while providing greater access to fresh, healthy locally grown produce and other foods," Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Ashley Randle said.
