farmer's markets

[cold-cold-water.livejournal.com]

Hi all -- I just joined this community. I'm graduating from college, and moving to Orchard Street in two weeks from New Jersey!

My question is this..
Are there any farmer's markets around the Davis area? There's one downtown in my town in NJ, and since I don't know the Davis area that well yet, I thought I'd ask here. I'd prefer to buy local produce if possible...

Thanks!
Laura

there's one smack in the middle of davis square - wednesdays 12-6, starting in late may. there are about 15 vendors (though how many varies depending on whether they have anything to sell).

I love farmer's markets too, and I was wondering the same thing.

I grew up in NJ, where did you live? I lived in South Brunswick for 7 years and Hillsborough for 5.

Cool! A lot of my old NJ friends went to Rutgers too. What did you study?

Here (http://www.massfarmersmarkets.org/) is a list of the area markets, including the one in Davis Square, with days, times, and precise locations. The one in Davis begins just two weeks from Wednesday!
