One of the best things about New Hampshire is the abundance of local goods and services available throughout the state. Those who love the idea of supporting local businesses appreciate just how easy it is to do here. One of the most important efforts is making sure local farms have the support they need and that’s why we love just how many farmers markets exist here. This one, located in Contoocook, is open year-round and in the winter they move the entire operation indoors. The result is a fun weekend experience that you’ll want to see.
The Contoocook Farmers Market is one of the best examples of local New Hampshire life anywhere in the state.
In a place like New Hampshire, where winters can be harsh, it's nice to know that we have a place to go for fresh produce, meat and baked goods even when we can't visit a farm.
The market has just about anything you might need to prepare the perfect meal, including meat, cheese and even things like pottery in which to serve it!
Make your way to the Contoocook Gazebo just behind the train depot from May through October and then visit them indoors from the rest of the year. Any time of year, this is a great way to spend a few weekend hours reminding yourself just why you love it here so much.
The Contoocook Farmers Market takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. From May through October you can find it behind the local train depot. From November through April it operates at the Maple Street School on Maple Street. You can learn more about the market and what they offer by following them on Facebook. The market can be reached at 603-746-3018.
