The next Farmer's Market will be Saturday 8/21/2010 on the corner of High and Court Streets in downtown Portsmouth's Olde Towne. Farmer's start arriving from 8:00 am on but the market officially opens from 9:00 AM to 2:00ish. Currently, our farmers market does not charge farmers to participate. Participants always include a variety of farmers selling fresh, locally grown produce, meats, and seafood. Other participants include backyard gardeners, downtown food related businesses, and individuals preparing a variety of home made products from soaps to jams. Some of the good things to eat include: veggies, fruits, fresh eggs, home made jams, fresh flowers, hormone free/free range beef and chickens, barbecue ribs, herbs, and fresh seafood from the Easter Shore. Last week a retired school teacher sold home made birdhouses and feeders with bird food.
