Yum
On Capitol Street on Saturday, we went to the farmers’ market for fresh lettuce and left with much other good stuff. A quick stop turned into longish one during which we chatted with friends and neighbors.
We were late, but we got the lettuce – one of the last heads in the basket of a vendor who gave us the good news that he’ll have fresh peas next week. It was also our good fortune to buy absolutely the last loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread from Abigail’s Bakery of Weare. We bought bay leaves, chives and oregano from the spice lady.
Then our impulsive buying spree brought us to a table lined with bottles of wine. The winemaker was Jewell Towne Vineyards on the Powow River in South Hampton. Two college students, interns at the vineyard, stood behind the table. One was a student at Emory University in Atlanta, the other a senior-to-be from the Whittemore School of Business at UNH.
We’re no connoisseurs, but we have made a few vineyard tours over the years, and we worried that the product before us might taste like vinegar. But the marketing major sounded smooth and not too dry when she broke into the wine lingo, so we took a chance on a bottle of white and a bottle of red. Saturday night, we chilled the Cayuga White American Table Wine and drank it with dinner. Excellent. May the red be just as fine.
Possibly the most fun we had at the market was when we ran into several friends, including Kay Sidway, godmother of the Children’s Place in Concord. Kay’s a neighbor, but it had been much too long since we caught up with each other.
I’ll spare you the details, but consider this a plug for farmers’ markets. Concord’s runs from 8:30 to noon on Saturdays adjacent to the State House lawn. There are farmers’ markets throughout the state. There are many reasons to support one (or more) near you: to help local food producers, to chat with old friends and, of course, to eat well.

Having just returned from a trip to the Food Culture USA exhibit at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C., I find your thoughts very timely. Hooray for delicious, locally-grown food. Keep spreading the word.

I can't wait to get to the farmer's market...any farmer's market! I wish there was one in Londonderry where I am visiting my parents, but Manchester's is great, and I hear New Boston's is as well, so those will be a great start.
Your post reminded me of this story I heard on NHPR about local farmers teaming with restaurants. Here's the link if anyone is interested. There are some upcoming dinners planned around the state using local produce, meats, etc.
