Join us at Gloucester’s farmers market, the Backyard Growcery, brought to life by Backyard Growers every Wednesday from 2:30-6:30pm at Burnham’s Field in downtown Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Stop by weekly to shop seasonal local veggies and other fresh and prepared foods, join free veggie gardening and arts workshops, connect with family & friends, and support a vibrant local food system right in your own backyard!
The Growcery proudly accepts SNAP/EBT, WIC and Senior Farmers Market Coupons. SNAP users can visit the Backyard Growers table every week to receive extra cash to spend at the market through Market Mint, Backyard Growers' $5 SNAP match. At the July 22 market, WIC users can stop by to pick up their coupons on-site.
