The Kingston Farmers Market experienced growth during the pandemic.
Manager Brian Boucher said they had about 40 vendors in 2020 which increased to 65 last year.
On opening day Saturday, he said they will have about 100 vendors.
“I can’t give you an accurate number for sure but, I know at the end of the season in 2020 and 2021, vendors that have been here for years actually came up to me and said it was their best season ever after years and years of being here,” Boucher said.
Longtime vendors at the Kingston Farmers Market said they experienced growth during the two years of the pandemic.
