OPENING DAY WAS...WOW!

Strawberry rhubarb pie, anyone?  And so much else.  Lots of vendors, lots of customers, music, sunshine, just the way to start a season of local products and working together to make the community better and stronger.  See you next week!

These goodies were from the Warren Farm in Barrington.  They joined us last fall for the indoor markets, and are back for the summer.  They also had asparagus!

OPENING DAY COMING UP!

Mark May 27th on your calendars – that’s the date of the first Northwood Farmers Market of the 2010 season at the NFM site up on the corner of Routes 4, 9, and 202 in Northwood. We’ve added new vendors to the Market this year, building on last year’s enthusiastic consumer response to locally-produced food. One of the new vendors will be Eastman’s Community Supported Fishery, the first CSF in the state and modeled after Community Supported Agriculture. They’ll be joining the traditional cast of local farmers selling plants, flowers, vegetables, baked goods, maple syrup, honey, free-range poultry and beef, cheese and other dairy products, and so much more.

Think globally, buy locally, and become a real locavore by shopping at the Northwood Farmers Market every Thursday from 3 to 6:30 starting on May 27 and going until October, when we’ll move the Market indoors. See you at the NFM!
