New Hampshire Farmer's Markets -- What's in Season?

What's in Season? 

New Hampshire, the "Live Free or Die" state boasts over 75 farmer's markets throughout the state.

I love the idea of buying and eating locally.  The fruits and vegetables are fresh and the fragrance of the flowers is delicious.

Buying locally at a New Hampshire Farmer's Market also supports our local farmers and helps grow the New Hampshire economy.

You can locate a farmer's market and discover what is in season at the NH Farmer's Market Association website. 

Don't these fruits, vegetables and flowers look inviting?   Stop by a local Farmer's Market and enjoy the bounty  of the season!
