News Summary
- The Quincy Farmers Market traditionally opens the last Friday of June and runs until the last Friday before Thanksgiving. This year we plan to open June 18 to synch with the opening of the Milton Farmers Market on June 17. We encourage all our fans to visit the MFM at least once during the season - it is a beautiful location, wonderful, unique and quirky downtown shops, historic New England Architecture, and great place to make a day of it.
- If you would like to become a vendor in our market, or volunteer, become a Market Ambassador, or train to become a market manager contact us now. We begin prep for the season in February and March.
- If you would like to start a business in the Food or Cottage Industry we may be able to help.
- Involvement in our market community also happens online in social media, through our live Queen of Quincy Quisine cooking shows, live online Garden-to-Glass mixology parties, Farm-to-Table dinners at local restaurants, and other events around town.
- In 2020 we ran a walk-through market, Community Supported Agriculture, online pre-order and drive-through. We anticipate these modes in 2021.
- In addition to shopping we typically feature public art, fine art, community information and civic engagement opportunities, and music.
- If you would like to be involved in talking about the future of the market we plan to host an event in May.
- Contact Kevin Dye on all issues at: kevin@futureworldscenter.org or 339-225-2607 .
QFM Events in 2020 |
Art - Our market hosted several fine art painting shows for people to view while in line for other vendors. Public Art installations surrounded patrons and vendors through the season.
Community Events - This year we celebrated Autumn on the Water at Marina Bay with a Farm-to-Table dinner at Victory Point. Our farmers donated hay bales, cornstalks, mums, and pumpkins to create a great photo op overlooking the bay.
Souther Tide Mill - the market donated all the makings to spruce up the Tide Mill on the Southern Artery with all the fixings to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Queen of Quincy Quisine - Janet Little launched an online video series including some live interactive cooking and drinking shows. She was featured in the Patriot Ledger with a beautiful, very colorful photo-essay of the behind-the-scenes production of the show and eating with her viewers outside overlooking the tidal salt marsh behind her house.
