Watertown Farmers' Market — Attraction in Watertown

I was very disappointed with my recent experience at this farmer’s market. I got there like 5 minutes early although all the vendors were set up and ready, we were told we could not begin shopping until the “official” start time of 2:30. The staff even made us wait until a bell was rung, which felt unnecessarily rigid and frankly a bit patronizing.

As a customer who came to support the vendors and the market, I found this policy frustrating and off-putting. People attend farmer’s markets for the community feel and to support local growers and artisans—not to be treated like children waiting for permission. I hope the organizers reconsider this approach, as it takes away from what should be an enjoyable and welcoming shopping experience. I wish I got the name of this woman who made this type announcement 📢 so sad what this society has become.. will not support this Farmer Market...

I'm a private chef,l get everything l need from here, meat,fish, fresh delicious vegetables, ...

Looking forward to dinner tonight after getting fresh vegetables from the Watertown...
