Fresh From the Market

Where community, food and stories meet.

The Taste of June

As summer settles into New Hampshire, the Salem NH Farmers Market begins to transform. The market fills with more vendors, more farmers, brighter colors, and the unmistakable energy that comes with warm summer mornings and freshly harvested local food.

June marks the highly anticipated beginning of berry season and the arrival of many early vegetables grown right here in New Hampshire. Tables that were once lined with spring greens soon overflow with vibrant produce, fresh-cut herbs, baked goods, flowers, artisan products, and the familiar sense of community that makes market mornings so special.

The market is proud to feature more farms at the Summer Market, including Brookford Farm, Farmer Dave’s, and Fresh Start Farms, each bringing a unique variety of locally grown produce and helping create the vibrant agricultural spirit that defines the market each season. These farms also share a deep commitment to caring for the land through thoughtful growing practices, sustainability, and stewardship — continuing the long New England tradition of nurturing healthy soil, supporting local food systems, and preserving farmland for future generations.

One of the true highlights of early summer is the arrival of fresh local strawberries — sweet, sun-ripened, and eagerly awaited all year long. Alongside the berries, shoppers can expect to find an abundance of seasonal favorites including crisp salad greens, spinach, Swiss chard, asparagus, rhubarb, snow peas, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, beet greens, and the first tomatoes of the season.

Every week brings something new as local farms respond to the rhythm of the growing season. The market becomes not only a place to shop, but a place to connect — with growers, makers, neighbors, and the changing landscape of summer in New Hampshire.

Whether you stop by for ingredients for a family dinner, a morning treat, a bouquet of flowers, handcrafted goods, or simply to enjoy a sunny morning outdoors sipping fresh-pressed lemonade, the Salem NH Farmers Market offers a colorful celebration of local agriculture and community all summer long.
