Eco Day at Portsmouth Farmers’ Market 

Seacoast Eat Local’s third annual Eco Day takes place at the Portsmouth Farmers’ Market on August 17th

 

Seacoast Eat Local is thrilled to announce our third annual Eco Day at the Portsmouth Farmers’ Market on Saturday, August 17th! Join us from 8 AM to 12 PM outside City Hall at 1 Junkins Ave for a day dedicated to environmental conservation and sustainability.

Conveniently located just a short stroll from downtown Portsmouth, the Farmers’ Market boasts over 30 vendors, live music, and a nearby playground for families to enjoy. Eco Day is a special event where local eco-friendly organizations will come together to educate and engage the community on sustainable practices.

We’re excited to welcome our special guests and event sponsor ReVision Energy, along with Seacoast Climate Action Now, Gosling Meadows Community Garden, and more. These organizations will provide engaging activities for kids and offer exciting giveaways throughout the event!

Highlights of Eco Day include a raffle for a chance to win a “Live Free, Eat Local” tote filled with local goodies, valued at $90! Don’t miss your chance to take home this fantastic prize.

The Portsmouth Farmers’ Market is proud to support the Granite State Market Match program, offering SNAP recipients additional purchasing power. For every $1 spent using an EBT card, shoppers receive an additional $1 in fruit and vegetable coupons. Visit our information tent to learn more about this valuable program.

Supporting local food is essential for the health and sustainability of our planet. We’re delighted to host Eco Day to educate our community on the critical connections between the well-being of our planet, our community, and our own health.
