Dorchester/Fields Corner Farmer’s Market

Great market and cheap too! 1.25 for a huge eggplant. Most of the food stayed a whole week too – one tomato went bad. The lines to pay get huge, but just keep track of where you are and it’ll move along.

i absolutely love this market… it was my first time shopping at a farmers market and my experience was great! im amazed how much my items came up to 13.80 to be exact. i picked up a big batch of kale, spinach & broccoli, 3 medium sized potatoes, 2 medium sized pears. 2 zucchinis, and 1 egg plant… im probably missing an item but thats pretty much it… for my first time, i was pretty in and out. the only thing is i wish i went earlier but thats fine. everything was fresh and cheap. u cant beat that! i recommend anyone to go there asap since they will be closing after october

It is just so great to have a farmers market in this part of Dorchester!
The market is held from 9am-​12 noon every Saturday, May though October, in the parking lot at the A.J. Wright plaza in Fields Corner. Get there early if you want the best selection, as they run out of the most popular items pretty early. I love fresh peaches and pears when in season, so I try to be there at 9am on the dot.
No frills– no wandering minstrels or artisan cupcakes, just bins of fresh produce and a few tables set up for weighing and paying.
There seem to be two farms stands operating here… a family run farm called Berberian out of Northborough, and a Vietnamese farm stand.
I don’t think they take credit cards, I have always paid cash. They do take WIC and food stamps, and a large portion of the customers pay with these.
The produce is fresh, delicious, and seasonal of course. The corn is amazing. The beets are amazing, with glossy gorgeous greens still attached, $ 2.50 for a bunch. The leeks are also incredible and so cheap… $ 1.50 or $ 2.00 for a bunch that would cost you 6 bucks at Shaws. Fresh herbs of all kinds, squashes, big juicy tomatoes, green beans, carrots, onions, potatoes, chard, collards, etc etc etc… we buy all of our produce here in the summer. Last weekend we went home with 45 pounds of produce, for about $ 50 dollars. Can’t beat it.

A refreshingly non-​Yuppie market with limited selection but great prices.
I attended for the first time today, even though I am told this market has been operating for 35 years. There were two produce vendors and a booth in which the Boston Cyclists’ Union was tuning up old bikes for free.
One vendor had great Asian and other ethnic veggies cheap – for $ 2, I bought enough Caribbean spinach to feed an army. The other vendor (the guy who told me he’d been coming for 35 years) had his produce on the ground in giant tubs. No frills, but effective. His corn was stunning and I got a nice head of lettuce, some carrots, a peach and a nectarine for short money.
Definitely worth a visit if it is local for you and if you are looking for farm fresh at an affordable price. If you want the latest amazing baked goods, jams, jellies, honey and gourmet delicacies galore, this is not the place!
This market is located in the Park Street Shopping Center parking lot. I was the first to review it and and I used the address of McDonald’s which is the closest business in the shopping center to the market.
Listed hours are Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon, but the Asian veggie vendor was already closing by 11:20 a.m. – so come early. The acceptance of credit cards may vary depending on staffing; when I was there the person with the card machine had left.
