New Market Hours This Season:
10am – 2pm

Perhaps you love sleeping late, or read the Sunday paper over coffee for hours, or get yourself to services each Sunday morning. AWESOME NEWS FLASH: you can do these (well, maybe not ALL of them) and still make it to market! We're there, rain or shine, until 2pm, so no need to rush. We love the opening-bell crowd, middle-of-the-market goers, and those-who-are-slow-to-rouse.

Please check out our new 2010 ABFM grocery bags and, by popular demand, ABFM aprons — available at the ABFM table.

The ABFM Operates on People Power

The ABFM exists because of the hard work of volunteers; the support of local businesses, organizations, and individual contributors; and the help of the Town of Acton and Town staff. We need your time, your expertise, and — yes, your hard-earned cash — to make this effort not only about buying good food, but also about community vitality and shared learning!

Want to help? Hurray! Learn about becoming a business/organizational Supporter here; volunteer here; offer ideas or suggestions here; or just send a plain old donation to us at:

ABFM, 155 Prospect Street, Acton, MA 01720
