Sanbornton Farmers' Market

Food doesn't come from the supermarket -- it comes from farmers -- and here in Sanbornton, New Hampshire, that means just around the corner. As traffic begins to clog the towns surrounding Sanbornton, making the Sanbornton Farmers' Market a part of your weekly routine is a wonderful way to provide stress-free shopping for your family. Look for our signs around town.

Evelyn D Roberts took some interesting pictures of the market. In September, 2002, The Concord Monitor wrote an article on the market and that same month NH Public Television featured the market on NH Outlook -- click here to read the text of that PBS show.

Buy a Square Foot:

In September of 2005, the SHS/SFM launched a "Buy a Square Foot" campaign to raise $3,000 to build a farmers' porch on the rear to the Currier Building (former school bus garage) for the customers of the Sanbornton Farmers' Market. The SHS/SFM accepted donations of $10 per "square foot". An anonymous donor came forward and offered $1 for every $2 raised.

By late August 2006, the SHS/SFM made their goal with a range of donors, to include the donation of a "square foot" from Brownie Girl Scout Troop #387. Alan Lefebvre, Lefebvre Construction Company, offered to build the farmers' porch and donate the labor from his construction company.

On Friday, October 6, 2006, the Governing Board of the Sanbornton Historical Society (SHS) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Sanbornton Farmers' Market (SFM) farmers' porch.

On Friday, August 3, 2007, Governor John Lynch attended our ribbon cutting ceremony for the farmers' porch.
