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.
