Holyoke Farmers' Market kicks off 2025 season

HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) – The Holyoke Farmers' Market is set to launch its 2025 summer season in June, bringing fresh produce, local goods, and community spirit to two outdoor locations each week. Beginning Tuesday, June 10, the Tuesday Outdoor Market will return to the Holyoke Senior Center/Council on Aging at 291 Pine St., operating from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The following day, the market will continue at the Holyoke Medical Center, 575 Beech St., from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Western Mass. school districts receive federal grant funding for healthy meal programs 'We're excited to offer such a diverse array of products and to provide a space where the community can connect with local producers,' said Lisa Totz, Interim Director of the Greater Holyoke Chamber and Market Manager. 'The market reflects our mission to build a thriving local economy and foster meaningful relationships between vendors and customers.' Each week, the market will feature a wide selection of items, including fresh produce, locally raised meat and eggs, mushroom products, and a variety of prepared foods. Baked goods ranging from muffins and cookies to focaccia and rolls will be offered, along with handmade crafts and unique gifts. Adding to the market's appeal, food trucks will rotate throughout the season, offering an array of dining options. The market will also continue to support food accessibility through on-site assistance for SNAP, HIP, and WIC transactions, ensuring that all residents have access to fresh and local food. Vendor applications remain open, and the market encourages participation from businesses offering SNAP-eligible products. Details on vendor fees, payment assistance, and SNAP sales guidance are available through the Greater Holyoke Chamber. Community members are invited to visit the markets weekly and support the region's local producers.
