It Looks Like Boston Is Finally Getting A Public Food Market
The Boston Public Market is expected to open next summer, and will be located in a state-owned building along the Rose Kennedy Greenway, at the corner of Hanover and Blackstone streets. More than 40 vendors from Massachusetts and other New England states (which haven’t been publicly announced) will service the market year-round, providing produce, meat and poultry, baked goods, seafood, and an assortment of specialty and prepared foods.
The 28,000-square-foot market will also have a teaching kitchen that will feature cooking demonstrations. Health and wellness programs are also planned, as is an initiative to help SNAP and EBT customers access the market’s food.
Estimated to cost $13 million, which will be covered by funds from private donors, philanthropic groups and the state.
