Great local food year 'round:
Come see us at the winter market

Now in a bigger and better space at the Colony Mill Marketplace, 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month

You don't have to give up local food just because winter is settling in. At the winter market, you can get lots of the same great food you enjoy from the same vendors you see at the summer market. You'll find the winter market at the Colony Mill Marketplace in Keene, at the corner of West and Island streets. We'll be there on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from November to April from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., just inside the entrance near the Elm City Brewery.

What Will I Find at the Market?

We will have fresh veggies, fruits, meats, dairy products, eggs, preserves, wine, and maple products. Local bakers will also provide bread, cookies, granola and other tempting treats while local crafters will round out the selection.

----------------------------
The Farmers’ Market of Keene has strict rules about what can be sold and who can sell at the market. Vendors must be local -- meaning from Cheshire County or one of the surrounding counties -- and must produce what they are selling on their own farms or in their own studios. Prepared foods must be made in licensed kitchens, and the use of local ingredients is encouraged wherever possible.
*Partial list. Not all products and vendors will be available at every market.
