WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

We are here to support our farmers and customers. We are here for you, our friends. Food is an essential service and we believe that hosting our vendors outdoors is the safest way to do so. Mill No. 5 is not collecting any table fees and is not profiting from this market. We are so thankful for our community and look forward to better times ahead. In the meantime, we are here to facilitate healthy food options from our wonderful farmers and food producers.

WEATHER UPDATE: Since there is a good likelihood it might rain tomorrow with thunderstorms, we want to err on the side of caution and move the farm market inside Mill No.5. Smokestacks and lighting aren't a good mix, and we want to keep everyone safe.

North of Boston Farm will be set up inside the tunnel and Empanada Dada will be parked in front of the iron gates on Jackson St. The rest of the market will be inside Mill No. 5 on the 5th floor.
⠀
Sorry for the last minute changes, but we didn't want to cancel. We appreciate everyone's flexibility! See you tomorrow on the 5th floor, 10am-1pm.

For the first time in the history of The Farm Market we won’t be having a market this Sunday. We felt that after the year we’ve had our vendors deserve a day off to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday. That said, North of Boston Farm has decided not to take the day off and will be offering a mini farm market from 7am-10am with their local produce, meat, and eggs. They will be set up in their usual spot outside @millno5 on Middlesex St.
⠀
Please note: Mill No. 5 will also be closed to observe the Fourth of July holiday.
