Come in from the cold at the Winter Farmers’ Market!
As the song says, “Oh the weather outside is frightful!” Ah, January in New England. Let’s be optimistic and call it “bracing.” No matter how you phrase it, winter now seems to have kicked it up a notch. But instead of hibernating, come out to the Seacoast Eat Local Winter Farmers’ Market on Saturday, January 12th in Exeter for an amazing opportunity to feed your body and rejuvenate your soul. At the market, you’ll find the makings for wholesome winter feasts, along with unique products that nourish the body, the earth, and the local community. Heartfelt thanks to our local food producers whose efforts make fresh food available in these cold and snowy months, and to our many consumers who help sustain their businesses year-round. So when Saturday rolls around, come out of your cave, unwrap a few layers, bask in the warmth of the companionship of family and friends, and enjoy great local food, live music, fun activities for the kids, and more!
