Meet Bianca from Freitas Farm. One of the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic vendors I have ever met. There is always a long waiting line to get to her stall at the local farmer's market. You can find her @freshpickedfreitasfarm on Instagram and find her at several farmer's markets around New England.
Purchasing local food helps the environment and communities by reducing food miles. Food Miles refers to the distance that food travels to reach your local supermarket. When you buy local produce we can reduce our food miles and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions considerably.
Here are some great local farmers markets in and around Boston;

Natick Farmers Market
Ashland Farmers Market
