Seacoast Eat Local Winter Farmers' Market

Farmers, fishermen and food producers will be indoors selling their vegetables, meats, cheeses, milk, eggs, fish and shrimp, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, take-home meals, and more! You can find a full list of participating vendors and the products they will be selling at www.seacoasteatlocal.org.

• Featured Food: Maple Syrup! There will be all sorts of delicious maple offerings including maple sugar, maple cream and candy, maple syrup in grades of your choice (Don’t know about Maple grading? Ask and get a sample from the vendors), maple cotton candy, and all sorts of delicious snacks and treats made with local maple syrup! We’ll have a Cooking with Natural Sweeteners Q&A with Seacoast Eat Local volunteers Erin Allgood and Jen Purrenhage passing out samples and recipes.

• Food Donations — Collected by Cornucopia Food Pantry, nearly 2,000 pounds of food have already been donated during the Winter Farmers’ Market!

• Live Music — What a sweet treat, Andrea Szirbik is back at the market to entertain and amaze!

• Guest Non-Profit — Surfrider Foundation will be at the market this Saturday to inform you about their environmental protection efforts to ensure the ocean, waves and beach are protected and preserved for the use and enjoyment of all.

Extra parking and front door drop-off with our friendly shuttle service

Those of you that have been to the market before know parking can get a bit crowded at the beginning of the day. We always encourage folks to get together with friends and carpool, or to come later in the day. We also have overflow parking with our partner Salmon Falls Stoneware. A shuttle will bring you to and from the market at Wentworth Greenhouses throughout market hours. Click over to this map for market location and overflow parking.
