I finally managed to get just a few (there are many more to come!) of the pictures from the December Holiday Farmers’ Market up - in time to be helping plan, organize, and publicize another market! On February 9th, the Congregational Church in Exeter (21 Front Street) will be home to 14 farmers and food producers with such foods as salad greens, dried beans, milk, cheese, eggs, and plenty of locally and humanely raised meat including beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. The market will be from 10am - 2pm. Best bet for parking is the municipal lot in Exeter, just across Court Street from the Church. Spread the word! More successful farmers’ markets lead to more successful farmers’ markets . . .
