CitySeed's Wooster Square Farmers Market 9:00am - 1:00pm

The Wooster Square farmers market has been a staple in the Wooster Square community for over 15 years. During the COVID-19 global pandemic the Wooster Square market moved to the very spacious parking lot of Conte West Middle School to accommodate social distancing. This move has also allowed us to bring in more vendors! This market is our biggest and offers an incredible variety of products. You can find fresh local produce, dairy, eggs, meat, honey, and more! Vendors at our market accept credit, debit, cash and SNAP/EBT. We even double SNAP/EBT for fresh produce! Join us Saturdays from 9:00am – 1:00pm from April 1 – December 16.
