Quincy Farmers Market

SNAP shoppers can use food assistance for fruits and vegetables at Quincy Farmers Market, with HIP offering a dollar-for-dollar incentive rebate on SNAP/EBT produce purchases. That access sits alongside a seasonal Sunday market in North Quincy, on the shaded grounds of St Chrysostom's Church at the corner of 1 Linden Street and 531 Hancock Street. Quincy Farmers Market has been part of the city since 1982, giving this church-ground setup a long-running place in the local weekly routine. The mix is compact but practical: farm produce, eggs, apples, bread, empanadas, flowers, coffee, honey, and pantry items all appear on the vendor roster.

Why it matters locally

Since 1982, Quincy Farmers Market has maintained a recurring place for direct food buying in Quincy rather than as a one-off seasonal pop-up. Its food assistance setup is especially consequential locally: SNAP can be used for fruits and vegetables at the market, HIP gives a dollar-for-dollar incentive rebate for SNAP/EBT produce purchases, and WIC plus Senior FMNP coupons are also accepted for fruits and vegetables.

The market also invites volunteer help for activities tied to Quincy food culture, including photographing Farm-to-Table for Quincy Cuisine, sharing recipes for Quincy Cuisine, reading picture books to kids, and helping with setup and breakdown. That combination of food access, repeat Sunday trading, and volunteer roles makes the market part of how local food moves through Quincy week to week.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans useful over sprawling, with a strong base of produce and staple groceries, then a ring of baked goods, prepared foods, flowers, coffee, body care, and home-oriented makers.

On Sundays, the setting does a lot of the market's work: Quincy Farmers Market trades on the shaded grounds of St Chrysostom's Church, at the corner of 1 Linden Street and 531 Hancock Street in North Quincy, with Hancock Street running midway between Wollaston Center and North Quincy train station. That combination of shade, a church property parking lot, and a main-street location gives the market a distinctly neighborhood-scale feel without removing it from the city's regular circulation. One visitor described it as a small market and highlighted eggs and fresh vegetables, which matches the roster's emphasis on practical weekly staples rather than spectacle.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest rule to plan around. The market runs rain or shine on the shaded grounds of St Chrysostom's Church in North Quincy, at 1 Linden Street and 531 Hancock Street, with good visibility along Hancock Street. If you're driving, there is a free parking lot on church property, and street parking is open on Sundays. The site is also described as accessible by walking, train, bus, and car, which matters here because Hancock Street sits between Wollaston Center and North Quincy train station. Restrooms are not available, so shorter, purpose-driven visits make the most sense. Janet Little is listed as the market contact and manages the market on a volunteer basis.
