In addition to local farms selling produce, there’s always an artist plus artisans (full disclosure: your reporter bought a lovely new handbag).  Mamadou’s Bakery sells out of chocolate croissants fairly quickly, but they always have plenty of breads, and Isobel Magee’s scones are a bestseller.

The Winchester Farmers Market officially opened for the 2024 season on June 8, but the market is now open every Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., on the Winchester Town Common.
