2013 Winter Farmers’ Markets

Saturdays, 10am-2pm

March 16 – Exeter
March 23 – Rollinsford
April 13 – Exeter

CSA Days at the Markets, February 9th and 23rd

During the Winter Farmers’ Markets on February 9th and February 23rd, in addition to an amazing farmers’ market, we offer the chance to meet farmers who have CSA shares available for the summer season. A CSA share provides lots of great food all summer long, as well as a chance to make a meaningful connection with a farm.

Each CSA is unique, offering different pick up locations, diversity of products, and experiences. CSA Days at the market give you a chance to ask questions and find the right CSA for you.
Learn more about CSAs and find farms that offer shares >

Spread the word!

Help ensure these markets continue to thrive by sharing the information with your friends, family, coworkers, and community. Download and print a Winter Farmers’ Market poster to hang in your workplace, library, church, coffee shop, or storefront. Willing to hang six or more posters? Send an email to info@seacoasteatlocal.org and we’ll mail them to you to post around town.

SNAP/EBT

SNAP/EBT can be used to make purchases at the winter farmers’ markets. At the market, SNAP recipients can choose how much they would like to spend that day on food purchases. A market staff member will then swipe their EBT card for that amount. The customer is then given wooden tokens, that are used just like cash, and can be used to buy food at approved vendors at the market. Learn More about shopping with SNAP
