Lexington Farmers Market in Full Swing

The Lexington Farmers Market is now open every Tuesday from 2:00-6:30 through October located at the corner of Woburn St and Mass Ave in Lexington Ma.


Upcoming Events


Garden Tour with local landscape designer Seija Halva
Date: Saturday, June 9th
Time: 9:00 - 11:00, meeting near the center of Lexington
We will be visiting three very different and inspiring gardens right around Lexington center. All three are hidden gems, and these gardeners are excited to share their expertise and knowledge.

Join the tour to be eligible to receive one hour of free garden consulting with Seija (valued at $150)

Suggested donation for the tour is $10, and all proceeds directly benefit the Lexington Farmers' Market. Sign up at the Farmer's Market or via email (htheodosiou@rcn.com). Space is limited, so please reserve your spot now.

Bike to the Market
Date: Tuesday June 12
Friends of Lexington Bikeways and Ride Studio Cafe (Lexington's own bike store) will host monthly bike corrals during the entire Farmers' Market season.  The first 40 cyclists to check in with our bike valets (on 6/12) will receive a $2 gift coupon to the Lexington Farmers' Market to be used as cash.  We encourage you to talk with FoLB members about getting involved in their education and stewardship programs.  Look for the FoLB banner, park your bike and get your coupon!

Dream Big-Read!
Date: Tuesday, June 26

Cary Memorial Library and The Lexington Farmers' Market celebrate the 2012 summer reading theme of Dream BIG, Read! with a workshop at the Lexington Farmers' market from 4:00-5:00.  Kids entering grades 3-5 (and their parents) are invited to Dream Big about what they could grow in their gardens and are asked to think about how the wildlife around them is beneficial to their gardens.

Come meet local wildlife from Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary and learn the wonderful habits and needs of our wild neighbors. Why are they important to our gardens?  Then let's walk the market and meet the farmers that grow our food.  Each child will be given a $2 coupon to be spent at the market as cash to help buy a plant to put in their own garden at home!

This event is free, funded by the friends of Cary Library.  Online registration will begin on Monday June 18, at 7:00 p.m., www.carylibrary.org or by telephone registration to begin at 7:30 p.m. (781-862-6288, ext. 170)
