Essex Farm Fruits and Vegetables may look like your typical run-of-the-mill produce and grocery store, but you won’t find any mass produced commercial products here. Essex Farm was founded in 2004 by Harvard graduate Kristin Kimball, who left behind a career as a creative writing professor and freelance writer for a full-time job managing an organic farm coop, and serves only the freshest. Find them at booths 18, 19, 25, and 26.
