In the midst of the busy city of Boston lies Boston Public Market, a charming escape filled with fresh food, handmade wooden bowls, succulents, and thousands of other precious discoveries. But what makes Boston Public Market so loved is the positive and welcoming environment.<\/p>\n

Everything in Boston Public Market is either produced or originates in New England, and it calls itself a community-building space.
\n\u201cI love a place that isn\u2019t a food court, everything\u2019s fresh,\u201d said a local. \u201cI also love coming for the people, the environment.\u201d
\n\u201cEverybody here is local, and it\u2019s diverse,\u201d said Sara Zarcone, who works at Peterman\u2019s Boards and Bowls, a place selling wooden bowls all handmade in Gill. Their bowls are made from wood from fallen trees, an environmentally-friendly practice.<\/p>\n

Ariel Gustowski from Stow Greenhouses said she enjoys how Boston Public Market is very personal. She said the customers will describe what plants they like and reveal a lot about themselves, a personal relation that isn\u2019t always found in other markets.<\/p>\n

Boston Public Market is supportive of small, local businesses. Daynna Ramos from FoodCares Boston said their store supports a number of small farmers in Boston, including Hannah Farm and Urban Farming Institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support small businesses, help them become independent,\u201d said Ramos.
