The Lexington Farmers Market

05/14/2026

Opening Day is less than two weeks away, and there's so much good news to share! First, the updated yard signs are here, and the fresh new design is making us so happy. Send an email to [email protected] to get one delivered to your home, and share the news of your favorite farmers' market!

Now on to this year’s eight new farmers and vendors! Meet the first "batch": Ackermann Maple Farm, Arlington Brewing Company, Art Cooks and The Silent Seed. We'll share the news of the rest of the new vendors and returning favorites next week; in the meantime, visit the www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.org to learn more about all the farmers and food producers attending this year!

ACKERMANN MAPLE FARM
Ian and Caitlin Ackermann, along with their 3 young children, have been making maple syrup on 150 acres since 2013, tapping 18,000 trees!. They use a wood fire to boil their sap, and package in glass bottles. They will attend the market biweekly starting June 2.

ARLINGTON BREWING COMPANY
Arlington Brewing Company is a small and rapidly growing microbrewery located in Arlington, MA. Since their launch in 2023, they have been dedicated to crafting exceptional beers that showcase their passion for quality and creativity. You'll find them at the market biweekly starting May 26!

ART COOKS
Art Cooks was founded in Lexington by Emilia & Arthur, a Venezuelan family focused on highlighting authentic Latin flavors in a healthy and simple way. They prepare handmade meals inspired by family recipes, using fresh, local ingredients, naturally gluten-free and made without additives. At the LFM, they will offer a selection of fresh and frozen meals, including soups, slow-cooked proteins, and their signature Venezuelan arepas, with preorders available online! Art Cooks will be a biweekly vendor, starting June 2!

THE SILENT SEED
Jude Haverington offers unique and unusual tropical plants, growing and propagating in his plant house in Newburyport. He uses zero chemicals and exclusively recycled/natural materials. You may already have met Jude at the Small Yet Mighty Winter Market, and he'll have even more to offer on his monthly market visits starting on June 2.

WHEW. It's less than three weeks until Opening Day on Tuesday, May 26, and it's here: the complete roster of the 2026 farmers and vendors! It's a robust group, filled with all you need from breakfast to dessert and everything in between. As a producer-only market, the LFM chooses only those farmers and vendors who are committed to locally grown, crafted and created, bringing delicious options to the market each week. You'll find longtime favorites and new additions, back at Fletcher Park, where the LFM began in 2005!

To learn more about the market this year, visit our website for news about farmers and vendors, artisans and musicians, sponsors and community groups, food assistance programs and ways to join the LFM's volunteer corps. In the next few weeks, we'll be sharing more news about new farmers and vendors, information about the return to Fletcher Park, who you'll find on Opening Day and so much more. We can't wait to get started!
