Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Boston, Massachusetts

Boston Public Market is a year-round indoor market in downtown Boston seeking permanent and pop-up vendors who grow, raise, catch, or produce quality products in Massachusetts and New England. Permanent vendors lease space for a minimum of six months; pop-up opportunities are also available for products grown or handmade in New England, ideally using locally-sourced materials. Strong foot traffic from downtown shoppers.

Mass Farmers Markets operates five managed markets in the Boston area—Central Sq in Cambridge, Copley Sq in Boston, Davis Sq in Somerville, Kendall Sq in Cambridge, and Fish & Farm in Seaport. Core mission: supporting local farm viability. Vendors must sell products directly grown/raised on their own land or made from locally grown ingredients. Farmer vendors, supplemental vendors (packaged/prepared foods, baked goods, bath & body made with local ingredients), and BIPOC-owned farms all welcome. BIPOC Incubator program (at Cambridge and Boston Fish Pier locations) covers vendor fees, materials, and permit fees for qualifying participants.
