In the heart of Union Square in Somerville, MA each Saturday, you will find local farmers, bakers and even live acoustic music, all gathered under a handful of canopies participating in the Union Square Farmers Market. Here, you will also find a wide range of fresh produce, herbs, the delicious Taza Chocolate and even homemade baked goods!
My friend Lisa introduced it to me this weekend.
I bought fresh basil, that had just been pulled out of the ground, from Drumlin farm – a working farm which also happens to be a wildlife sanctuary.
And, from Fiore di Nonno I bought mozzarella that had just been handmade that morning.
That night, Mike and I put both ingredients to good use and made a margherita pizza. The mozzarella was unbelievable and the basil was so fresh that the aroma filled our kitchen.
I see myself becoming a regular.
I kind of want to move to Somerville JUST for this Farmer’s Market!

I highly recommend buying local, I joined a CSA this summer and it has been the best thing ever. Mine’s is strictly organic pesticide free vegetables but they also have them for meat and fish.
OMG – that pizza looks amazing!
