About Us...

The Lexington Farmers' Market was founded by Sonia DeMarta, a Lexington resident with a Masters degree in Environmental Management from Boston University with a special interest Food and Food Production. Inspired several years ago by an article in WorldWatch magazine titled “Where have all the Farmers Gone?”, Sonia decided to put her education and experience to work in bringing a farmers’ market to Lexington, after seeing a very successful one in Newton, where she and her family  lived prior to moving to Lexington. 

Sonia has had help from the start from co-founders, Lori DeLiso and Raul Marques.

As the market has grown, the volunteer effort has also grown. Here is a current listing of our volunteers:
