Prudential Unlimited Realty shares real estate with Stillman’s Farm Stand
Written by William on April 9th, 2009
My company stepped up to the plate when we heard Stillman’s got evicted from the B of A parking lot and volunteered to host them for a few weeks, but I’m guessing a more permanent venue will need to be located. Many posts on different sites have good suggestions. Mine would be the parking lot at Our Lady of Lourdes Church parish hall. It is mostly vacant during the day, huge, and would reduce the amount of congestion in the already very overcrowded Centre Street area. Moreover, it would give the Roxbury side of Jamaica Plain some access to fresh vegetables. Should it just be Pondside that benefits from a convenient farm stand? Folks could go to the gym at the brewery, pick up their vegetables and go home healthy!
Jamaica Plain can no longer bank on farmer’s market |

Word reaches us that Bank of America has told Stillman’s Farms it can’t use the bank parking lot off Centre Street for its farmer’s markets this year: |
… So, we are searching for a new location to have our market as well as our CSA drop. This year we have some Hmong farmers joining the market, as well as some local bakers. We are holding out a little hope that the community of JP can persuade the bank to allow us to return. We encourage anyone who feels like it, to politely ask the bank to reconsider. We have always felt they were very generous in the past, so we are not sure what changed after all these years. Meanwhile, we will look for another location nearby. If you have any connections, or thoughts, please get back to us as soon as possible. Let’s try to solve this together. … |
The market had taken place there for more than 10 years – dating back to Bank of Boston days. |
