"Boot Drive" at Northwood Farmers Market Oct. 29th!

Donations will be accepted on Oct. 29th from 9-1at the Northwood Area Farmers Market for Doug Hayes, a Strafford Fire/Rescue worker who was injured in Tropical Storm Irene when a tree branch fell 60 feet on him while he was attempting to clear fallen trees from wires after the storm.  Doug suffered five crushed vertebrae, two broken collar bones, a fractured shoulder and a punctured lung, and is slowly recovering.  Volunteers are helping with repairs to his home which he had planned to complete this fall as well.
The Strafford band North River Trio will play from 11-1.

New vendors for the Indoor Market!

We have a couple of new vendors for the Indoor Market.  Come sample their wares!

Come enjoy the market indoors this Saturday!

The Northwood Farmers Market will hold our first indoor market of 2011 this Saturday, Oct. 15th, from 9-1 at the Masonic Hall on Rt. 4 in Northwood, right next to the municipal parking lot where we meet in the summer.  Lots of great produce and other local products, come shop for food, for holiday gifts, and listen to the music of Sandra Koski.  See you there!

Another reason to grow and eat local foods.

We have gotten very used to finding food from all over the country and the planet in our supermarkets, but climate change may limit some of the staples we expect to find in the stores.  Is it time to learn to eat what grows in our region for most of our diet, and to help our growers expand the crops and experiment with new and unfamiliar edibles?  What other ways can we cope with products like peanut butter and chocolate (yikes!) getting hard to find and expensive?

Last outdoor market and plans for moving indoors!

Come close out the outdoor market season on Thursday, I think the sun is going to come out!  Make sure to put the dates for the indoor markets in your calendar as well:  Saturdays, Oct. 15th through Nov. 19th, 9-1.  Many of our regular vendors will be there, along with some new and interesting additions.
