When people first hear about a Winter Farmers’ Market here on the Seacoast, the first thing they ask is what could there possibly be to buy, other than potatoes? Well, you’ll be in for a big surprise when you walk into light-filled Wentworth Greenhouses on Saturday, November 17, from 10am-2pm, for the first winter market of the season. You will be treated to a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach when you see the rows of more than 50 farmers and food producers selling an amazing variety and quality of locally grown and produced food. An abundance of winter squash, pumpkins, cheeses, pork, baked goods, carrots, salad greens, apples, eggs, maple syrup, and yes, potatoes are among the many items available. Plus, specialty vendors, kids’ activities, and live music will all help make this market an exciting beginning to the winter season. You won’t want to miss it!

We love that people are so excited about the market that they line up for the opening. But if you prefer a more relaxed shopping experience, come a little later. The market is open through 2pm, and farmers are well prepared with an astounding abundance of foods for you. Every year, the farms bring more and more food and you can confidently shop later in the day. Worried about missing a particular product? Many vendors accept pre-orders. Use the product search and contact farms directly if you need something set aside for you.
