The Lowell Farmers’ Market will run every Friday from now to Oct.
“It is a rough, small space but a perfect space for small stalls in the winter if we can make this happen, so we are going to be looking at funding opportunities and how we can get this up and running,” said Frederick. At one point the market was located on Palmer Street, which would be closed to traffic when the markets were taking place and which allowed for both an indoor and outdoor market, which Frederick said she, too, hopes to bring back inside the Hamilton Canal Garage. “The food we are buying every day has all this artificial this and artificial that, so just to have fresh food and fresh fruits and vegetables on the table is really healthy, especially for young kids.”Ĭhau said the city is thankful for the support of CTI, which partners with Lowell to run the weekly market.ĭistrict 7 City Councilor Paul Ratha Yem said that he hopes this new location will be “just the beginning” for the market, and that in the near future they will be able to be held year-round with the potential to use indoor space in the Hamilton Canal Garage.įrederick said after the ceremony that the location of the market has moved multiple times for multiple reasons, like parking or ease of access for the vendors themselves.

It will be a lot of fun,” said Smith during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the market Friday afternoon.įarmers’ markets are a common event for communities to regularly host, in which local farmers and vendors can gather in one spot to sell some of their products directly to customers.
