A Visit to Nantucket Farmers' Markets
5/31/2024
In spite of, or maybe because of, Nantucket's location, 30 miles out at sea, there's many farms and artisan producers on the island. We love to pay a Visit to Nantucket Farmers' Markets, showcasing some locally-made goods. Pick up supplies for a beachside picnic or just to browse the handmade artisan products that make for a great vacation memento. Next time you're staying at 21 Broad Hotel or Swain House, make sure to stop into these Nantucket farmers' markets.
Nantucket Farmers' And Artisans Market | Cambridge And North Union Streets, Nantucket | Saturdays, 9AM-1PM
Saturday mornings during the summer and fall months mean the Nantucket Farmers' Market is in full swing. The bylaws of this particular market stipulate that all vendors must be part or full-time residents of Nantucket, making it a local affair. You'll find flowers, fruit, vegetables, seafood, and meat vendors, all growing or raising their products on the island. This Nantucket farmers' market also allows for more than just food, so you can enjoy a snack from one of the prepared food vendors or shop for a memento by a local artist and craftsman. From clothing and jewelry to jams and baked goods the arts and crafts and value-added vendors always have something tempting. Visit the Nantucket Farmers' Markets Saturdays to get to know the island through its local growers and artisans.
Bartlett's Farm | 33 Barlett Farm Rd., Nantucket | (508) 228-9403
If you can't make it to the farmers' market, Bartlett's Farm is open daily from 8am to 7pm. This fourth-generation farm produces meat, vegetables, and flowers and stocks its market with a great selection of local food, and beer and wine. We love to stop into the farm stand for a picnic lunch to take to the beach—with a large selection of prepared foods like salads, sandwiches, and dips, you can make up a gourmet to-go spread. The store is open year-round, and it's a treat to watch the produce change throughout the growing season from strawberries in June to pick-your-own tomatoes in late August. Bartlett's Farm market is your go-to stop for island-made food products that will help you remember your time on Nantucket.
