AMHERST Locally grown produce, cheese, cut flowers, herbs and prepared foods will be available as the Amherst Farmers Market begins its 50th season Saturday.
The market, which again will be on the Town Common instead of in the Spring Street parking lot, runs from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays each week through Nov. 20.
Though COVID-19 protocols are still in place, with masks required and social distancing used to keep people safe, the market is able to start on time this year, unlike last year when it was delayed until after Memorial Day.
