From berries to butter mochi: Waltham Farmers’ Market returns Saturday

Waltham’s beloved Farmers’ Market is back, opening for the season on Saturday, June 6, at 65 Lexington St., in the parking lot of the former Elks Lodge. 

There will be 36 vendors plying succulent fresh greens, toothsome berries and more bounty from early summer fields. Shoppers can savor the aromas of fresh bread, dumplings, samosas, sweet pastries and secret sauce recipes. Grab some beautiful steaks from local farms or a filet of fish and put together a delicious dinner of the season’s finest, accompanied by a glass of cider. And how about some butter mochi – a Hawaiian culinary wonder – for dessert? Or if you can’t wait until after dinner, you can sample some right on the spot.

The Waltham Times will be there too for its third season, selling its official shirts and baseball caps.  

There’s free parking at Government Center, in the large lot on Lexington Street directly across from the market. You may also park free in the smaller lot accessible from School Street. There’s a large municipal parking lot one block south of the market on Lexington and Common streets.
