Fresh, healthy local food, plus more parking options!

This Saturday, December 18th, over 55 farmers and food producers will be indoors at the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford, NH from 10 am-2 pm, selling their vegetables, meats, cheeses, milk, eggs, prepared foods, baked goods, honey and maple syrup! You can find a full list of participating vendors and the products they will be selling at www.seacoasteatlocal.org

 

The Wentworth Greenhouses are located at 141 Rollins Road, Rollinsford, NH, 1 mile past Red’s Shoe Barn of Dover. Here’s a map!

 

Additional parking and a shuttle will be available from 10 am-12 pm at Salmon Falls Stoneware, just around the corner from the greenhouse! The shuttle will run for the first two hours of the market – the parking and greenhouse are less than a mile apart, making it a quick 2 minute ride. An additional 50 parking spaces are available at Salmon Falls. Salmon Falls Stoneware is located at 75 Oak St, Dover, NH. Here’s a map!

 

Thanks to 45 Market Street Bakery for the idea and legwork to make this happen, and the generosity of Salmon Falls Stoneware for sharing their parking.

 

From small gifts to big meats

The farmers’ market is a great opportunity to finish your holiday shopping—jars of honey and jam, maple syrup, wines, farmers’ market gift certificates, cookies, teas, spice mixes, and more will be available to round out your gift list. Roasts, hams, turkeys, and even geese will be for sale as the centerpiece to your holiday meal.

With over 55 farmers and food producers, you’re sure to find everything you need—and more! From beverages to parsnips and decorative items from Wentworth Greenhouses, come ready to head home with everything you need to help put the happy in this holiday season.

 

Potatoes, carrots, winter squash, onions, beets, leeks, broccoli, garlic, kale, turnips, cabbage, shallots, cauliflower, spinach, Brussels sprouts, dried beans, and salad greens will be in abundance, ensuring plenty of wholesome vegetables.

 

There will be eggs, milk, honey, and maple syrup, alongside special finds like oyster and shiitake mushrooms, wheat flour, and dried hot peppers.
