Stratham to Host Winter's Final Farmer's Market... Define "Winter"...

This Saturday will mark the Seacoast's last official farmer's market before the summer market season officially kicks off the first weekend in May in downtown Portsmouth (that is, of course, assuming it's stopped snowing by then). Despite the expected frigid temperatures, this weekend's gathering in Stratham promises to offer the best in local seafood, poultry, and even some hidden veggie gems that have been hiding away in local greenhouses.

Of course, the Green Alliance will be there, handing out fliers and talking to community members -- generally accosting anyone who will listen and telling them about our incredible growth these first seven months, and the myriad goals we have to celebrate our fast-approaching one year anniversary in July.

Volunteers are still needed to help with a variety of tasks -- unloading, handing out calendars, etc. To inquire further, email info@seacoasteatlocal.com
