Farmer’s Market Welcomed as Regular Event

HAMPTON FALLS—
The Hampton Falls Board of Selectmen recently officially welcomed the Hampton Falls Farmer’s Market to the town as a regular community event. The market, held on the Common Mondays from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., offers a wide range of locally produced products.
Chairman of the Board Richard McDermott commended market founder Sue Veilleux for her efforts in founding and managing the market. He said that the Board of Selectman “welcomed the addition of a place for residents to meet, to share the beauty of the common and enjoy the area’s agricultural and creative bounty.” He cited this effort as a true example of promoting both community spirit and the area’s agricultural tradition.
Besides Sue’s Jesta Farm, the market offers vegetables and fruit from Applecrest in Hampton Falls and Long Hill Orchard in W. Newbury, MA, Buzz Bomb World spices and gluten free bakery in Hampton, and maple ice cream and candy from Sugarmomma’s in Northwood. We also offer honey wines from the Moonlight Meadery in Salem and cut flowers from Late Bloomer Gardens in South Hampton. Other vendors offer products ranging from herbal teas and syrups to Belgian waffles.
The vendor list is constantly growing and we welcome applications from area producers, especially in the category of organic produce. We can be contacted at Hamptonfallsfarmersmarket@comcast.net.
