Farms in New Hampshire.
Picked today.
Yours by dinner.

New Hampshire's farmers market calendar reads like a road atlas of the state. May opens the curtain — the asparagus and the first salad greens hit the Concord Farmers' Market on Capitol Street, where forty-some vendors set up Saturdays from 8:30 to noon, the State House lawn at their backs. A few hours northeast in Portsmouth, the largest of the Seacoast Eat Local summer markets settles into the City Hall lot, the breeze coming off South Mill Pond and the playground full of kids waiting for parents to finish at the strawberry stand.

By June the rhythm thickens. Thursday afternoons go to Lebanon, where Colburn Park hosts a producer-only market — every vendor either grew it or made it, no resellers, no exceptions, live music every week from 4 to 7. The same Thursday, Wolfeboro opens its Lakes Region market at The Nick Rec Park, and Henniker sets up at the Community Center Park, certified-organic-heavy and running through every Thursday of the year — they move indoors to the Parish Hall come November and never miss a beat.

July and August lean into abundance. Heirloom tomatoes from the Merrimack Valley. Sweet corn picked that morning. The Seacoast farms running pastured eggs and pork. By September the apples are in and every market gets a cider press and a few barrels of seconds for sauce.

When the outdoor season closes, the winter circuit picks up — and this is where NH really earns its keep. The Downtown Concord Winter Farmers' Market runs Saturdays at 7 Eagle Square, November through April. Salem opens Sundays at 14 Main Street. Seacoast Eat Local keeps two of their winter sites going at Stratham and Rollinsford, with free parking and a shuttle to the Salmon Falls Mills. Root vegetables, storage cabbages, eggs that didn't stop coming, fresh greens out of cold frames, sourdough that didn't read the calendar.

The same farms that stand behind those tables on market day take orders all week. That's where LiveStalks Local comes in — same farmers, same harvest, picked the morning of pickup and waiting for you at the farm down the road. Grown Local... Sold Local... seven days, not just Saturday.
