Farmers Market Returns to the High School This Morning

Abington, MA · June 27, 2026

Don't let the gray skies deter your grocery run; the tents are up and the coffee is hot.

📰 The Lead

The Abington Farmers Market officially enters its peak summer season today, transforming the high school parking lot into a bustling hub of local commerce. While the forecast calls for rain, the market remains a rain-or-shine staple, with vendors moving under heavy-duty canopies to keep the sourdough and strawberries dry. This year’s lineup is particularly robust, featuring the first real wave of summer produce alongside local honey and handmade crafts. Organizers have noted a record number of vendor applications this year, reflecting a growing desire for residents to source their groceries closer to home. It has become the town’s unofficial Saturday morning living room, where neighbors swap news under umbrellas. Arriving before 10:00 AM is still the best strategy for the widest selection of specialty greens before the midday crowd arrives.
