Grafton Farmers Market plans to go virtual this summer
The Grafton Farmers Market plans to open for business again in June for its 11th season — but don’t expect the familiar sight of a Grafton Common filled with booths selling locally grown produce, baked goods, and crafts.
This year, of course, will be different.
The group is working with the Grafton Board of Health to develop a virtual market, allowing shoppers to make orders and pay online, reserve a pick-up time, and pick everything up — possibly on Grafton Common, possibly elsewhere.
It may be one of the few in the area. The Westborough Farmers Market announced Wednesday that it will be canceling for the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If a physical market can happen on The Common this season it will look different,” an update on the market’s Facebook page reads. “There will be social distancing guidelines to follow and vendor set-ups will be optimized for everyone’s safety.”

IF we can do remote ordering and pick up, it would be great for our local farmers and our community! Healthy, fresh food is so important.
