Market manager Bill Sell breaks down what visitors can expect during the 2024 season.
We also wanted to catch up with the mastermind behind the market’s growing success.
Bill Sell is the manager of the Framingham Farmers Market, and he joined us at the Centre Common to discuss the latest we can expect heading into the 2024 season, especially regarding the accessibility of both SNAP and HIP–the Healthy Incentive Program–for Framingham residents.
Additionally, the Power of Produce is an exciting inclusion for the Framingham Farmers Market this year. It’s a nationwide club that originated from the Oregon City Farmers Market near Portland out west, and it’s designed to provide a fun opportunity for children to engage with fresh produce within farmers markets across the country.
Here in Framingham, fresh produce will be on hand week to week from farms like Heavens Harvest and Kelly’s Farm–but there will also be 13 different bakeries, nine food trucks, and more. Bill even mentioned that they received a number of requests for seafood, so there will be two seafood vendors, including local favorite Captain Marden’s.

Thousands of those attendees watched the action unfold here in Framingham.
