Weston Nurseries to host winter farmers market

The Hopkinton Farmers Market will continue operations through the winter as it shifts locations from the Town Common to Weston Nurseries.

Julie Beauchemin, market manager for the Hopkinton Farmers Market (HFM), explained this is the second year Weston is hosting the weekly event since she took over.

“It’s a really nice collaboration between a local gardening business and the farmers market,” said Beauchemin. She added that Weston previously had hosted the winter market well over a decade ago. However, that program had been discontinued until last year.

Most of the winter setup mirrors the summer offerings. While more focused around holiday goods, the winter market still hosts local farms, offers a SNAP match program and has food trucks on-site.

“We have about 30 vendors every week and about 1-2 food trucks,” Beauchemin explained. She added that the HFM keeps a weekly calendar of participating vendors on its website.

The winter market opened mid-November and will continue through mid-March. It is open on Sundays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Beauchemin noted the only Sunday the market will be closed is between Christmas and New Year’s.
