The Dorchester Winter Farmer’s Market opened the doors to its indoor season in the Great Hall at Codman Square last Saturday. It will be open every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. through March 15.

The market is a collaboration between the Codman Square Health Center, the Codman Square Neighborhood Council (CSNC), and the BOLD Teens group, where vendors and entrepreneurs sell everything from vintage clothing to skin products and Riverdale Farms has fresh food. Savenor’s offers fresh meat, and Iggy’s Bread features fresh baked bread. There’s also a pop-up operated by House of Sevens Café.

“When the winter comes along, there are only four markets operating in Boston, and we are one of them – supporting businesses in the community and making farm fresh food available year-round,” said Cynthia Loesch-Johnson, chair of the CSNC.

Dr. Guy Fish, CEO of the Codman health center, which owns the Great Hall at 5 Norfolk St., said the center supports the nod toward healthy living.

“This event was the first of its kind 11 years ago,” he said. “We are delighted to have it running again and having everyone here.”

Fish added that the health center would soon be engaging with the community to determine overall health and wellness needs, a precursor to some programming changes coming to the center.

“When that time comes, make sure to participate and tell us what you need and we’ll do what we can to deliver,” he said.

The market collaborators also presented awards to friends of the effort who have supported it in outstanding ways. The awardees included state Rep. Russell Holmes, City Realty’s Stephen Whalen, City Councillor Julia Mejia, and Marina Seevak of the Shlomo Fund, named after a family member Sheldon Seevak, who grew up in Codman Square in the 1930s and 1940s.
