“This event speaks to what we’re trying to create here on the property. A village isn’t made up of buildings; it’s a community that comes together. We plan on hosting many more events in the future and making this a meeting place where people can spend the day,” said Joe Faro, Owner and Chief Food Taster of Tuscan Kitchen and Tuscan Market.

While visiting with the Easter Bunny, it is the perfect time for families to browse the market and discover the large selection of amazing artisanal products including: fresh meats and produce, cheeses, wine and sweets available for their Easter dinner. There will also be a variety of custom made Easter desserts made by hand - the perfect gift for Easter baskets!

Tuscan Market:

Tuscan Market is the largest artisanal marketplace in New England. Located in Salem, New Hampshire, next to Tuscan Kitchen restaurant, and Burlington MA, this indoor marketplace encompasses the sights, sounds and tastes of Italy and offers an array of artisanal products, cooking supplies, gourmet delicacies and much more. With over 25 years of food experience, owner and chief food taster Joe Faro’s original vision was to create a Tuscan villa in Southern New Hampshire, he has now expanded that vision to include a second location in Massachusetts. When Joe first opened award-winning Tuscan Kitchen in November 2010, the concept was to combine simplicity in the freshest ingredients with time-honored preparation to create a truly incredible culinary experience. Applying this same concept to his latest project, Faro’s Tuscan Market carries an extensive array of artisan products from multiple geographic regions such as Tuscany, Napoli, and Bologna to name a few, further reflecting his passion for diverse Italian cuisine and his dream of allowing others to experience it as well.
