Imagine filling your basket, as you browse the food aisles, with fresh fruits and vegetables picked from the tree or harvested from the field just hours earlier. 

Selecting poultry, eggs, meat and dairy products, produced humanely and without the use of antibiotics, from someone with whom you’re on a first-name basis.

Seafood straight from the port, glistening on ice, still smelling of the ocean. Crusty baguettes, gooey cookies, indulgent pastries, and other baked goods fresh from the oven.

A wide range of European-style cheeses from across New England. Ice cream, maple syrup, honey, preserves, chocolates, pastas, and dozens more specialty food items, all sold directly by the people who made them.

Now imagine a showcase for all of these foods, and more, that is centrally-located, so individuals of all means can access our region’s bounty. Whether it’s bringing affordable produce to those who otherwise couldn’t access it, or attracting tourists and driving the local economy, all are united in the common goal of supporting food producers from across the Commonwealth.
