Boston Public Market Forms New Partnership

The Trustees of Reservations and the Boston Public Market slated to open at a permanent, indoor location on the Greenway directly above the Haymarket MBTA station in 2015, have announced an important new partnership that will bring the Trustee’s experience and expertise in community programming to the planned public market.

An area dedicated to outreach and programming will be managed and staffed by the Trustees within the market. The group will offer year-round educational opportunities for customers, residents and visitors.

A diverse set of non-profit partners will address culinary education, health and nutrition, youth engagement, sustainability and conservation and will include programming such as chef-led cooking demonstrations, nutrition classes, market tours and workshops.

The Boston Public Market, on the Greenway, agreement is the combination of an ongoing collaboration that constitutes the first significant non-profit partnership announcement for the market.

The two organizations have worked together to raise funds for the design and build out for the market, especially the demonstration kitchen which will serve as an educational hub.

“The Trustees of Reservations have a strong commitment to connecting people with locally grown food,” said Governor Duval Patrick in a prepared statement. “They are an invaluable partner for the Boston Public Market’s outreach programs and will help ensure the success of this exciting new civic institution.”
