The Cape Ann Farmers Market Promotes local agriculture and small-scale production, helps boost the Cape Ann economy, and forges community ties to propel Cape Ann into a more sustainable future.

The Cape Ann Farmers’ Market provides consumers with fresh, nutrient rich food produced with environmentally benign methods and delivered with a smaller carbon footprint. Buying from local producers keeps food dollars in the local economy. Cape Ann Farmers’ Market includes music, work by local artists, educational booths, children’s activities, and cooking demonstrations that create a festive community-building atmosphere. The Cape Ann Farmers’ Market is a huge success, attracting at least 1,200 visitors per market.  They reach out to provide fresh, nutritious food for the entire community, regardless of income. Through The Food Project, they accept Women, Infants and Children (WIC) coupons, Seniors’ Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons, and Food Stamps.

Look for Cape Ann Farmers Market at their new Location at Stage Fort Park, Thursdays 3:00-6:30 starting June 30^th.  Farmers Markets cannot subsist on vendor fees alone.  To help offset the overhead costs and continue growing their community outreach programs, Cape Ann Farmers Market needs your support.
