Malden Farmers Market Flourishes at City Hall Plaza

Special to The Advoate

Malden’s new weekly Farmers Market has taken root on City Hall Plaza (215 Pleasant St.), running every Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m. This vibrant market, which began July 2 and stretches through September 24, 2025, brings together local growers and food purveyors, offering residents direct access to fresh, locally sourced produce and artisanal goods. Several Massachusetts farms — such as Spring Brook Farm (Littleton), Steadfast Farm (Beverly) and MacClusky Farm (Beverly) — are featured vendors, each offering their unique farm-fresh products.

Recognizing the vital role farmers markets play across the Commonwealth, Mayor Gary Christenson issued a Proclamation in honor of National Farmer’s Market Week to market organizers Marcel Schwab, Katie Cruikshank and Jennifer Kuhnberg. Farmers Market Week honors the economic, nutritional and social importance of Farmers markets. The proclamation highlights how these markets fuel local agriculture, provide fresh, locally grown produce and foster community connection through direct engagement between farmers and consumers.

With the state celebrating Farmers Market Week, it’s a timely nod to initiatives like Malden’s that bring together local businesses, farmers and residents in meaningful and nutritious ways.
