Get Ready for a Flavorful Summer at Revere Beach

This summer, Revere Beach will transform into a colorful marketplace as the community comes together for the highly anticipated second season of the Revere Beach Farmer’s Market. Opening its doors on Friday, July 11, this market features over 23 local vendors and is set to run every Friday, rain or shine, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM until September, except for July 25 due to the International Sand Sculpting Festival.

Community Engagement and Healthy Eating

Revere Beach Farmer’s Market is not just about buying fresh produce; it represents an important effort to connect families around healthy eating and community spirit. Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr. expresses excitement about the market, emphasizing its role in fostering family-friendly activities and promoting nutritious food choices. The diverse selection of vendors, including local favorites like Riverdale Farm and Farmer Dave, will offer everything from vibrant fruits and vegetables to delightful artisanal foods.

Access to Healthy Food for All

Ensuring that everyone has access to fresh, healthy food is a priority for the market. The market accepts SNAP food benefits, WIC vouchers, and offers a newly launched SNAP Match program. This initiative, done in partnership with Mass in Motion, allows SNAP participants to receive bonus coupons for spending at specified vendors, further enhancing affordability and access.

Supporting Local Businesses

The farmer's market gives a spotlight to local businesses, allowing small-scale farmers and artisans to share their bounty with the community. Vendors like Tantine Mimes Gourmet and J’s Honest Farm & Nursery are perfect examples of how the market encourages economic activity while also enriching the community’s food landscape. Community members are encouraged to support these local vendors as a way to bolster the economy and enjoy quality, locally-sourced products.

Fun for Families with Entertainment

Every market day features live music from local musicians, providing a festive atmosphere that enhances the market experience. Families can enjoy shopping for wholesome foods while soaking in the community spirit and vibrant energy of Revere Beach. With access to free four-hour parking and proximity to Blue Line MBTA stops, getting to the market is both convenient and enjoyable.

Looking Ahead: What to Expect

This season promises not only returning favorites but also new vendors joining the lineup. Chief of Health and Human Services, Lauren Buck, expresses pride in the market's expansion, highlighting that it will further increase access to healthy food choices for everyone in Revere.
