The Medford Farmers Market kicks off its 13th season and its fourth year at the Condon Band Shell Park on Mystic Valley Parkway, with a reduced lineup of “essential vendors” and new protocol due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Opening day vendors will be Bread Obsession, Brigham Farm Stand & Greenhouses, Neighbor’s Acre Farm, Peg’s Preserves, Rice’s Roots Farm and
Deano’s Pasta. Pre-ordering and pre-payment will be accepted by Bread Obsession, Neighbor’s Acre Farm, Peg’s Preserves and Deano’s Pasta. Visit this page on the Farmers Market website for additional ordering details and deadlines: https://medfordfarmersmarket.org/pre-order/

All shoppers must wear a face covering and maintain appropriate social distancing, which the market will be set up to accommodate. There also will be hand washing stations. Please do not bring reusable bags to the market. Please leave pets at home as well.

Live music, always part of the Medford Farmers Market experience and supported by a Medford Arts Council grant, will be presented virtually via the market’s Facebook page. Performing will be Alex Cumming from 4 to 5 p.m., Leesa Coyne from 5 to 6 p.m., and Ajda, the Turkish Queen from 6 to 7 p.m.

The market will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. every Thursday through October 15.
