It is always lively and bustling. By purchasing food and goods here, you're supporting local farmers, makers, and artisans, which is awesome. More dollars go into supporting the local economy. You also know where your food and goods are coming from. For me, that's hugely important. The vendors are all super-friendly and will answer any questions you have.

Alba Produce has been in operation for decades. I used to buy my produce from Albie's father when…read morehe had a woodburning stove in the shop and would bake fruit atop that stove. It was always aromatic and a pleasure to shop there. In the days since Albie took over the store it is still the best produce shop in Boston. It is certainly superior to the other shops in the North End and Star and Stop And Shop markets. In addition to produce, Albie carries fresh pasta! And he is honest to a fault; He will tell you what is good, better, best in his stock. I just wish that I had his phone number so that I could order in advance and have someone collect my order. Albie is a sweet, kind, thoughtful and a gentleman so it is always a treat to shop in his store.

You'll find the best fresh tomatoes, lettuces, fruits and much more. If you're in the neighborhood or live in the North End, I would recommend getting your fruits and veggies here (over the few other very overpriced grocery markets). This market also has boxed pasta, pasta sauces, canned tomatoes , and fresh olives (yum!!). The owner is always there and will always greet you with a smile. He's always smiling and wants to help every person who comes In his awesome shop. Shop at Alba's!

Amazing Farmers Market available Tuesday & Fridays from 11am-6pm until Thanksgiving…read more They have fresh fruits, vegetables, honey, bread, jelly, and so much more!

They offer lettuce, kale, radishes, beets, celery, assortment of tomatoes, asparagus, scallions, cilantro, spinach, a table full of herbs, corn, green beans, apples, peaches, plums, squash, pumpkins, onions, potatoes, ginger, garlic, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, and avocados. They also offer fresh bread, seasonings, honey, honeybee pollen, an assortment of uniquely flavored jams and jellies, REAL maple syrup, maple kettle corn, and assorted sauces. It's not too often you'll find such fresh foods and ingredients at a local farmer's market in the city. They accept cash, card, and SNAP! I would definitely recommend stopping by on a Tuesday or Friday. The people working here are so nice and helpful, and you can tell they care about providing the community with the freshest ingredients.

Currently, the produce is slim pickings (early in the season) and the rest consists of bakeries and nurseries. However, the vendors slated for the market are very promising. While they weren't on site yet, I can't wait to see what Stillman Meats brings to the table. One gem in the market currently is the Sel de la Terre booth. The bread and pastries looked great, and I hear sandwiches are coming soon! I'll be sure to update as we get further into June.

One of the things that originally drew me to In Season was that they actually allow you to choose…read morethe items you want. I find this so much more useful and functional than receiving a weekly mystery box of fruits and vegetables that I quite possibly don't have any interest in. After all, a girl can only eat so many apples and bean sprouts... The products available for purchase include dairy, fresh pastas, fruits, vegetables, meats, bread, and more. Your delivery date is based on your location. For instance, I live in Cambridge, so my food arrived Tuesday morning bright and early (before 8:00 AM). I was beyond happy with the presentation of my order. The delivery person placed all of my perishable items in the cooler I set out in our lobby, and my other items were neatly packed in brown paper bags. All of the produce was clean and attractive (even the potatoes were tidy), and not a single egg was broken. I point this out because PeaPod always breaks my eggs and it drives me crazy. In Season is a bit pricey, but no more so than Whole Foods. My only true quibble with the service was that the meat comes frozen. I guess I was expecting brown paper packages tied up with string and a hand delivery by Julie Andrews, but let's be realistic, the majority of the fresh meat I buy ends up in the freezer anyway. I doubt I'll be utilizing this service every week, but I want to stress again that the quality of these products is phenomenal and I definitely envision having a delivery from time to time.

Duh. My delivery is here! Thursday I had placed an online order with In Season. They promise my goodies will be on my porch, lovingly hand delivered via bicycle courier, before 7:30 in the morning. I go out and grab my bag of goodies. Fresh blueberries, raspberries, heirloom tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, fresh pasta and a hunk of locally made cheddar. Fabulous. Sure beats finding a serial killer on your porch at 5:30 in the a.m. The important details if you are lucky enough to live in their delivery zone (JP, Brookline, Somerville and Camridge. Suck it, Boston!): Place your order online before Friday night. Select from a small, but nice, selection of fruits, veggies, cheese, dairy, fresh pasta and even meat. Wake up on Tuesday morning with something to look forward to. It's all locally grown and made products. And delivered by bicycle. What a nice and easy way to lower your carbon footprint.
