100 Hanover Street at Haymarket Station
Wednesday – Saturday 8:00am – 6:00pm
The Boston Public Market is an indoor, year-round marketplace featuring about 30 New England artisans and food producers housed under one roof offering fresh foods, prepared meals, crafts, and specialty items. Residents and visitors alike can find seasonal, locally sourced food from Massachusetts and New England, including fresh produce, meat and poultry, eggs, dairy, seafood, baked goods, specialty items, crafts, and prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Everything sold at the Market is produced or originates in New England, as the seasons allow.

The Market is a civic, community-building space for farmers, fishers, food entrepreneurs, neighbors, customers, and partners who come together around the common culture of food. We create opportunity for small businesses to thrive, and nourish our community with experiences, conversation, and education about public health and the impact of buying local food. Year-round festivals, workshops, cooking classes, and tours create an engaging, educational experience and a vibrant environment for everyone.
The Boston Public Market Association, a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, developed and operates the Market with public impact goals to support: economic development, New England food system resilience, public health and education, affordability, and access. Development of the Boston Public Market in 2015 was a partnership between the Boston Public Market Association, individual and corporate donors, foundations, the City of Boston, and the project’s seed funder, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Boston Public Market, located at 100 Hanover Street, Boston, MA 02108, is open Wednesday— Saturday, 8:00am — 6:00pm.
Our mission is to support New England producers, provide fresh, healthy food to consumers of all income levels, educate the public about local sourcing and nutrition, and build a community around food.
History
In 2001, the Boston Public Market Association was formed by a dedicated coalition of food lovers, food producers, and state and city officials. After years of work advocating for the development of a public market in Boston, they gained the support of elected officials and helped identify a permanent site for the market. In 2011, state and city officials settled on a location for the market on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, directly above the Haymarket MBTA station.

The Market spans the ground floor of 100 Hanover Street, which also contains the Boston RMV branch, entrances to the Haymarket MBTA station, vent stacks for the Interstate-93 tunnel, and a parking garage. The building and the Market’s location had been vacant for over 12 years. This location is part of Boston’s emerging Market District, along with the Haymarket open-air fruit and vegetable market and the historic Blackstone Block. After the Boston Public Market Association raised $13 million for the design, permitting, and construction of the Market, oversaw an on-time construction process, and brought together many of the region’s top food producers, the Market opened on July 30, 2015.
Become a vendor
The Boston Public Market (BPM) is seeking local businesses interested in becoming permanent vendors at the market. The indoor market is designed to showcase the variety and quality of food grown, produced, or caught in Massachusetts and throughout New England. This opportunity will offer prime retail space for local producers in the heart of Boston’s emerging Market District. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.

It is important to our Market community to educate children in order to build good habits and grow a love and understanding of healthy, local food.
Interested in taking your class on a field trip to the Market? Let them meet the farmers, fishers, and food producers and learn how food goes from the farm to their plate. They’ll learn about food sources, production, and nutrition, sample fresh local foods like strawberries and snap peas, and roll-up their sleeves to get in on the action!
Email Carrie DeWitt at cdewitt@bostonpublicmarket.org to schedule a field trip.
