Returning vendors will include: MacArthur Farm in Holliston, selling fresh vegetables and plants; Needham-based The Neighborhood Farm, with vegetables, greens and herbs; Globe Fish, which sells a variety of fresh seafood all processed that same morning; Lilac Hedge in Berlin, which produces sustainably raised meats and poultry on pastures; Susie’s Bakery; Foxboro Cheese and Gay Grace Tea, which offers a variety of teas and items such as teapots, cozies and infusers.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with our new location. We truly appreciate all the help we have had from Needham Bank and the Town of Needham to make this possible. We are now able to offer
a convenient location and more space for our shoppers to enjoy the market with plenty of parking,” said Jeff Friedman, President of the Needham Farmers Market Board of Directors.
