For many of us, this has seen like a particularly long winter. Whether it was the cold, the uncertain weather, or what seemed like months of gray skies, it’s worn down a lot of New Hampshirites – even those with many winters under their belts. The days are getting longer now, and it’s technically spring, but truly warm weather and blooming flowers will, no doubt, continue to elude us for a while. After all, this is New England! All that said, there’s something about a little fresh produce – or a freshly baked loaf of bread – that does the spirit good. And while summer farmer’s markets don’t start for a while, you can still count on one of New Hampshire’s best year-round markets to bring a little sunshine into your day.

The Contocook Farmer's Market has its winter home at the Hopkinton Town Hall, where it runs from November–May on Saturdays from 10 a.m.–1 p.m.
