Seacoast Harvest 2010

The publication that makes the local food scene easily accessible and at hand will be distributed at the Northwood Farmers Market on Thursday June 24 at our Open House or you can find it on line.

Misty market

The drizzle at the market today did not dampen anyone's enthusiasm.  You can find pictures of the market here.  Lots of good food, enough plants for several large gardens, flowers, potions and lotions, locally made soaps and wine.  And many faithful customers and new ones too.

Market too popular? Overflow parking is available.

If you happen to come by the market and find it hard to find a parking space, we have some suggestions for alternatives.

Even in the rain

Even in the rain the market is a great place to be!

A growing market

The Northwood Farmers market continues to grow!
Last week the market welcomed a new vendor - the Kandy Kettle (fudge and lemonade).  They will be at the market every 2nd week.  This week - Thursday June 10th we will welcome a new baker to the NFM - Brindleview Farm Kitchen, come see what sweets they have to offer.   The following week (June 17th) will be the first week for local seafood - Eastman's Fish Market will join us.  Stop by to have them explain how a CSF (community supported fishery) works.   There are plenty of salad greens, early vegetables and local strawberries available. The farmers market is open every Thrusday (rain or shine) 3:00- 6:30pm at corner of rte 4, 202/9 & 43.  Buy local, eat local.

Reminder - no pets at the market

Just a quick reminder, our insurance regulations do not allow dogs or other pets at the market.  We love them, but where food is served and sold is not the place for our furry friends.
