Central Square Farmers Market

Mass Farmers Markets, a nonprofit working on farmers markets and locally grown food, runs the Central Square Farmers Market in Cambridge. More than 20 Massachusetts farmers and food producers sell produce, meat, baked goods, ready-to-eat meals, and other local products on Norfolk Street between Mass Ave and Bishop Allen Drive, near H-Mart and Graffiti Alley. Vendors include Dick's Market Garden of Lunenburg, Hutchins Farm certified organic produce, Kimball Fruit Farm of Pepperell, and Hi-Rise Bread Co. Shoppers can use cash, cards, WIC and Senior coupons, and EBT, with a weekly SNAP Match and HIP benefits on fruits and vegetables. Adults 65 and older can join POP Club for POP Bucks good only on fruits, vegetables, and food-producing plants.

Our take: Bring an EBT card if you have one and ask at the market manager's booth, where SNAP Match and HIP are explained.
