We are excited to be back in Exeter, and just in time to help you finish off your shopping list. Whether you just need a few last items for an upcoming potluck or haven’t even started your gift list, our awesome array of local farmers, fishermen and food purveyors will have just the right mix of delicious goodies to meet your needs. Our Product Search tool can help you find just the right gifts and find out who has those last few ingredients you need to put a local twist on Grandma’s classic recipes. Plus you get the added bonus of knowing you are supporting a vibrant and growing agricultural economy!

About the Location: Exeter High School is located at 1 Blue Hawk Drive, Exeter, NH. The school has ample parking but markets are more fun with friends, so call yours up and set up a carpool! Here’s a map!

December 14th Market Highlights:

  • Pork is the featured food of the day! As part of our Cooking Skills Series, the Food and Health Forum will be joining us to share tips and recipes for One Pot Meals.
  • As if the delicious local food and gifts weren’t enough, enjoy the musical talents of Jeff Warner.
  • Special Guest: On The Edge Knife Sharpening. Be sharp and get your knifes, sheers and scissors ready for the holidays and a new year!
  • Mr. Fox Composting will be at all the markets, collecting compostable materials and educating attendees on the importance of closing the waste stream loop.
