Dover Farmers Market at the Chamber Visitor Center

DOVER, NH – Beginning on June 8th, the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center, located at 550 Central Avenue, will once again host the weekly Seacoast Growers Association Farmers Market every Wednesday from 2:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Dover Farmers Market, now entering its second year at the Visitor Center location, features over a dozen farmers and local area vendors, some vending their wares every week, and others rotating in and out to add variety to the Market. Shoppers can expect to find not only fresh produce, but also plants and cut flowers, eggs and dairy products, meat and poultry, maple syrup, and baked goods, as well as artisans selling hand made pottery, ceramics and other related items.

For those who endeavor to support local businesses, the Farmers Market is an ideal place to shop. The Seacoast Growers Association (SGA) is made up of farmers and vendors from Strafford, Rockingham and York counties, with all products sold at the Market being grown, produced and harvested in this geographic area.

“Once in a while, we’ll have someone come up to us in June and ask ‘Where’s the corn?’” notes Celeste Gingras of 45 Market Street Bakery in Somersworth, who also serves as the President of the SGA’s Dover Market. “Since everything at the Market is 100% locally grown, the offerings are seasonal and the selection varies from week to week. Once they understand that, our patrons love the idea that they’re buying produce that’s not only fresh, but also truly native to our little part of the world.”
