Get Ready for Easter

It’s not too early to start buying eggs for Easter — fresh eggs keep for 5 weeks in the refrigerator, and you can set aside eggs now for Easter dying. Many farmers sell eggs in mixes of colors; local white eggs become scarcer closer to the holiday. If you do plan on dyeing them, buy mixes now and set aside the white ones for Easter. Hardboiled eggs keep for just 5 days, boil them closer to the date. You can also find lamb roasts, hams, and other holiday foods at the Spring Farmers’ Market.

Featured Foods: Local Wheat and Dried Beans

This week at the market we’ll be featuring wheat and dried beans. Just over three years ago, the most local options for these staples came from northern Vermont and Maine. Now, we have a much more direct supply! Moor Farm and Brookford Farm sell their own wheat flour, while Baer’s Best Beans and Meadow’s Mirth sell dried beans.

[4] Food Donations Welcome

The New Hampshire Food Bank will be at the market to accept food donations from consumers and vendors. Fresh foods are encouraged; consider buying extra potatoes, onions, root vegetables, or salad greens to donate. Donations of cash or canned foods are also welcome.

You Don’t Have to Come Early! 

The market is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and farmers are well-prepared with an astounding quantity of foods. The market is bustling at the beginning; for a more relaxed experience come a little later, we’ll be there through 2 p.m. with plenty to offer.

Last Indoor Market of the Season

Mark you calendar for April 23rd, our last indoor market of the season! In May the markets head outdoors, but we’ll have one more just in time for Earth Day festivities and the Easter Holiday.

Purchasing locally grown food directly from area growers helps ensure our farms stay in business — keeping open space and good food growing in the Seacoast.
