Charlestown Farmers Market to Open This July

The Charlestown Farmers Market will open for the 2014 season this July, the Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness announced this week. 

The market, which opens July 9, will be held at the corner of Main and Austin streets in Charlestown.

The market will run on Wednesdays from 2 to 7 p.m. between July 9 and Oct. 29.

Charlestown's market, which is managed by the Kennedy Center, will be one of 27 local farmers markets opening across the city this summer, when residents will have the chance to purchase local produce from New England farmers, with 14 of the locations selling local seafood. 

Through a Bounty Bucks program available at 25 of the markets this summer, a dollar-for-dollar donation up to $10 will be made each time a client of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program shops at a participating farmers market. 

For more information about the market please contact Terry Kennedy at tkennedy@kennedycenter.org or Barbara Weninger at bweninger@kennedycenter.org.

Editor's Note: This article has been updated to clarify that the market will be held at the corner of Main and Austin streets in Charlestown and not in front of the John F. Kennedy Family Service Center at 10 City Sq., as originally reported.
