Newburyport Farmers Market

Welcome to the one of the best weekly events in Newburyport! Every Sunday from 9:00 to 1:00, rain or shine, farmers from across the area bring the freshest of their produce. But the market isn't restricted to fruit and vegetables. There is fresh fish from Gloucester, lamb and goat products, delicious baked goods, herbs, granola and coffees and teas - hot and cold. Hungry, get a pulled pork sandwich or an omelet with locally raised pork and chicken and homemade sausages.

And music!! Every week a different group that ranges from rock to country to folk to classical. It is like a giant cocktail party. You run into everyone you know. Fun, delicious and supporting local businesses.
