Throughout the month of August, Seacoast Permaculture joins with over 50

partners throughout the state to highlight New Hampshire Eat Local Month
-- a celebration of local food and New Hampshire farmers and
producers.

“New Hampshire residents and visitors alike, are showing unprecedented
interest in local food, and this month-long celebration offers a great
opportunity to feature New Hampshire grown foods and farms,” said Gail
McWilliam Jellie from the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture,
Markets & Food.

PM, for $25-35 per person. Food Dehydrating will be offered on Sunday,

"We love to teach people how to grow and eat local - even beyond NH's
short growing season!" said Amy Antonucci, an organizer for Seacoast
Permaculture.

New Hampshire Eat Local Month is a statewide celebration of farmers and
local food producers throughout the month of August. Promotion of this
year’s NH Eat Local Month is in collaboration with the New Hampshire
Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food, Monadnock Buy Local, Seacoast
