Concord Farmers' Market

Concord Farmers' Market was founded by a group of local farmers in 1981 and is one of the oldest markets in New Hampshire. At peak it has 40 or more vendors, with fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, plants, honey, maple products, cut flowers, wood products, cheeses, dog treats, body care, and bakery goods the market is known for. Many vendors are certified organic. The site is on Capitol Street, adjacent to the State House lawn. A Merrimack County Conservation District booth offers programs that increase access to local food for New Hampshire veterans and other families, including Veterans Value Bucks for veterans. SNAP, EBT, credit, and debit can be turned into wooden tokens. HIPPO voted it Best of the Best farmers' markets in New Hampshire.

Our take: Ask the Conservation District booth about Veterans Value Bucks if someone in your group served, or just wander and plan meals around what is fresh.
