The Market was founded in 2005, builds community by providing opportunities to buy directly from local farmers, benefits the environment as small-scale farms conserve land, and supports local families by allowing farmers to sell their produce for full price. Hosted on the Plaza each year, the Harvard Farmers' Market is a vital part of Harvard University Dining Services' Food Literacy Project.
