Farmer's Market Program

The Annual Farmer's Market Program is an excellent opportunity for Massachusetts farmers to sell their freshly grown fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as their made-in-Massachusetts products along the Massachusetts Turnpike.

We invite all Massachusetts farmers to sell their products on a first-come, first-served basis.  Free selling space is made available at all eleven (11) service areas.  Farmers can sell their goods as long as they do not compete with the service area stores and restaurants.

The service areas available for the Farmer's Market are located in Lee (east/west), Blandford (east/west), Ludlow (east/west), Charlton (east/west), Westboro (west), Framingham (west) and Natick (east).

If you are interested in participating in the 2008 Farmer's Market Program, or if you have any questions, please contact Dave Fenton. Mr. Fenton may be reached at (413)- 572-3171 or by e-mail.
