Farmers and Fishermen Sought for Winter Farmers’ Markets

August 30, 2010 by Sara Zoe.

Seacoast Eat Local is now accepting applications from farmers and fishermen for the 2010-2011 Winter Farmers’ Markets. The winter market season will run from late November 2010 through April 2011. All markets will be held on Saturdays from 10:00am to 2:00pm, alternating between two indoor locations in Rollinsford (Wentworth Greenhouses) and Exeter (Exeter High School). To request an application packet, please email Winter Farmers’ Market Coordinator Kate Donald at kate@seacoasteatlocal.org. The application deadline is September 15, 2010.

In keeping with Seacoast Eat Local’s mission of connecting consumers with sources of locally grown foods, we aim to organize markets that emphasize farmers, fishermen, and their products. In order to allow sufficient space for farmers and fishermen, we have designated a small number of spaces for prepared food vendors this year. The 2010-11 markets will feature prepared food vendors who are going to extra mile to offer products made from ingredients sourced directly from local farmers and fishermen. We are not accepting unsolicited applications from prepared food vendors at this time. If you would like to recommend a potential food vendor for the markets, please fill out Seacoast Eat Local’s “Recommendations of Vendors” form.
