Merrimack County Local Food Guide 2023

Merrimack County Local Food Guide Puts Local Farms on the Map

CONCORD, NH.
Merrimack County Conservation District (MCCD) has created and printed its 2023 local food guide. This guide lists the dairy, produce, and specialty food farms in the county. It also educates readers on the easy availability of our county’s local bounty.

From bees to beets, the farms in Merrimack County offer a diverse array of agricultural products and with our food guide, delicious food is one step closer to your table. Using the town-by-town list in the guide you can easily locate farms in your area, local farmers markets, and other programs that support food production in New Hampshire. Building connections with your local agricultural community and learning about where your food comes from is an important part of maintaining both economic and personal resiliency. Short articles throughout the guide will give you insight into farms in your area that exemplify the goals of this guide: to educate and provide access to local food.

When you buy local food, you aren’t just making a simple purchase. You are supporting a way of life that embraces a stronger environment for future generations and helping your local economy by supporting family farms.

Copies are available to download at merrimackccd.org. If interested in a physical copy, please contact MCCD at (603) 223-6020 or info@merrimackccd.org and we can mail you your very own copy.
