Waltham Farmers Market To Close For The Season

WALTHAM, MA — If you haven't made it to the Waltham Farmer's Market this season, first off: You're missing out. Second: you've got one last chance. This Saturday is the final market of the season.

Unfortunately, it's going to be a bit of a wet one with high winds threatening the market.

"We plan to open, but many vendors are likely to CLOSE EARLY. We are allowing vendors to sell before the opening bell, and to close early. Please plan accordingly," wrote the market in an email to prospective shoppers.

Since 1991, the Waltham Farmer's market has invited folks from all over the area to shop for fresh food and artisan wears. More than 25 vendors convene to sell locally-grown fruits and vegetables, organic and specialty produce.

A sampling of the types of things sold at the farmers market website is broad; from soap and handcrafts to bread, lobster and fish, pasta, mushrooms and micro greens, cheese, soft pretzels, chocolate to juice and cider. Check out a list of the vendors.
