Canterbury Community Farmers Market

Description

2024 will be our 18th season in the historic center of Canterbury!

Come join us every Wednesday, 4-6:30 pm, June 5 through Oct. 2.

Here are a few important things to know about our Market!

• We are in the meadow and parking area next to  the Elkins Public Library. The Market is easily accessible, has plenty of parking, and safe grassy areas for kids to run. Restrooms are available in the Library. Say HI to the librarians if you go in, and check out their book sale.

• The Market runs RAIN or SHINE...but not if there are big thunder storms. We will post on FB, Instagram, and here on the website if we need to cancel. Thanks for your patience with unpredictable summer weather.

• There will always be a great selection of local fruits, veggies, eggs, maple products, baked goods, and crafts BUT not every vendor is there every week! Check with your favorite vendors to learn their schedule. Our Vendor page has contact info if you need to reach them on a non-Market day.

• There is great live music EVERY WEEK!

• Short on cash? You can use your credit/debit card at the Market Info tent and get wooden tokens accepted by all of our vendors. Tokens are good at all of our summer and both of our winter Markets. You can even use those forgotten tokens from last year!

• Dogs are always welcome, ON their leash. Please be mindful of the heat! There is fresh water for canine companions at the Market Info tent.

Stop at the Market Info tent to use these ways to stretch your $$ at the Market:

• We accept SNAP/EBT. Thanks to the Granite State Market Match program and the NH Food Bank, we also match the first $20 of a SNAP purchase. Tokens are good for all food purchases at the Farmers Market, and this benefit is available every week.

• Canterbury Market Vouchers are available through the Loudon Food Panty to Canterbury residents who use the pantry. A limited number are available each season.

• Veterans' Market Dollars. Once a month, Veterans can get $20 worth of market tokens by showing an Active Military or VA Card, the Veterans logo on your NH Driver’s License, or your DD214. Tokens are good at all Canterbury Farmers Market vendors. 

We change things up a little each week:

FIRST week of the month we’ll have a Kids' Activity.

SECOND week of the month the NH Master Gardeners will answer questions.

THIRD week of the month we’ll host our famous “Sandwich Slam.”

FOURTH Week of the month we all help fill “Mary Ellen's Basket.”

You never can tell when we might schedule a special guest or a demonstration, so check us out on Facebook, Instagram, or sign up for the weekly Market News (use the link below) to get the latest updates.
