This Enormous Roadside Farmers Market In New Hampshire Is Too Good To Pass Up
If you spend a lot of time in places like New Hampshire and other New England states, you already know that farmers’ markets and stands are a part of life. Having guests over and need to cook with the freshest ingredients? Head to the local farm! Happen to be driving and see one, but not sure what you want or need? Pull over anyway! Today’s focus is a wonderful little stand right at the side of the road and we think you’ll love it.
Welcome to Beans and Greens Farm in Gilford. Not only does it have one of our favorite farm names ever, this place offers everything you need in the way of fresh produce, baked goodies and, most importantly, fun.
Founded by Andy and Martina Howe, this special farm got its start operating out of a pick-up truck. Today, more than 30 years later, it's one of the best places to go for fresh goods. And the just-off-the-road location makes it very convenient.
While this is a great place to shop, it's also a fabulous day-trip. In the autumn you'll find a hay maze, lots of pumpkins and all those fall vibes you've come to expect here in New Hampshire.
Beans and Greens Farm is open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can learn all about them by visiting their website. Or check them out on Facebook. They can be reached at 603-293-2853.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
