Davis Square Farmers Market opens today!

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Subject line pretty much says it all: today is the first day of the Davis farmers market.

It's open Wednesdays noon-6pm in the parking lot at Day and Herbert streets.

Yay!!!


(The Union Square market (Saturdays 9am-1pm in the plaza) starts June 5.)

There is a huge increase of Saturday markets around, for those who don't have access to a market during their workday (I actually shop at Davis on my lunch hour, so it works in my situation). Off the top of my head there is Winchester, Cambridgeport, JP, Waltham, and Union Square Somerville on Saturdays, and a tiny market at Harvard Square on Sundays. The full schedule is at www.massfarmersmarkets.org

But yes, markets tend to end by 6 or so to allow the farmers to get home and farm n' stuff. However, Brookline (not open yet for the season) tends to run until dark for some reason. That's on Thursdays and it's a great market.

I was very happy with the selection at today's market - it's been so warm that all the crops are ahead of schedule, which is a nice treat. Strawberries in May (they had samples but not enough to sell) is unreal!

In case it's useful: I've set up a Google calendar of metro Boston farmer's markets: evcbeanr68e7c1irut4ode190c@group.calendar.google.com is the public address.

How do I look at the calendar? That looks like an e-mail address rather than a URL.

The full URL (http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=evcbeanr68e7c1irut4ode190c@group.calendar.google.com) but I think you have to be logged into a Google account to see it?

Sorry; I thought that was the full address (when I checked the calendar settings).

It's a public calendar, so searching for "metro Boston farmers markets" will get you to it. Or to embed it (and not need a Google account), use:
[iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=evcbeanr68e7c1irut4ode190c%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York" style="border: 0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe] but with the usual brackets instead of square ones at the beginning and end.
