Portsmouth Farmers Market is Currently Free to Participants

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.

Take advantage of being in Olde Town Portsmouth and visit the adjacent shops, quaint bistros, and a top notch movie theater (the Commodore.)

Come for a bagel and cream cheese, brunch or lunch at Brutti's which is right across the street. In fact Brutti's outdoor seating provides a great vantage to see the farmers market and passers-by.

Come for cheese and wine from Angry Adams.

Come for the unique shops like Queen Bee next to the Commodore.

Come and visit the beautiful courtyard of the "Court Street Galleries" and go inside to browse around.

Come for and visit our up-scale consignment shop "Next" at the 600 block of High Street.

Come visit our Children's Museum and the Sports Museum just down the street.

Come and have a relaxing good time.
