The long wait has finally ended! Yesterday afternoon kicked-off the Farmers’ Market at Harvard, which is literally yards from my office building. I am so psyched to have easy access to good, fresh produce for the next 4 months!
For those of you nearby, the Farmers’ Market at Harvard is open on Tuesdays from 12:30-6:00 pm on the lawn between Memorial Hall and the Science Center, near the intersection of Oxford and Kirkland Streets.
Yesterday’s line-up of farmers, bakers, and specialty vendors included:

I didn’t end up buying anything yesterday because I am leaving for a week and I didn’t want my fresh produce to spoil before I had a chance to eat it. But, I seriously cannot wait for the Farmers’ Market when I return!
