With the bug season cranking up, it's their bugoff bug spray I like to use instead of DEET. I saw Moondance Soaps there several weekends in a row, but didn’t see them in your list.

I stop at Southport Seafood first - I always get their dry packed scallops, which have been absolutely fabulous, and then either tuna or another fish. Sometimes shrimp, too. I get bread and muffins from John the baker, berries and peaches, lettuce and sugar snaps from Tabitha, beautiful onions and summer squash, organic pork and beef, farm eggs... The flowers have been lovely, but my cat eats them, so I just look! Every Sat and Sunday, at a minimum, our entire dinners are from the farmers market. "Seafood Saturday" is now the family favorite, and my kids have never been huge seafood fans before now. After I get my food items I take them to my car, parked in the deck with a cooler inside, get my perishables taken care of, get an iced tea from Starbucks, and listen to music, journal, and people-watch. It makes every Saturday wonderful! I go to the farmers market every Saturday and have had wonderful finds each week.

We are huge State Farmer's Mkt. fans, go every week during the season, and had hoped to be able to buy some of the same foods @ NH. We understand that the NH venue is not the State FM, nor did we have high expectations, but we never did buy anything. It seemed to have too many crafts, and non food booths for what we had hoped it would be. We will definitely go back this year to see what has changed or been added. We do appreciate the efforts of many to bring the FM to NH, and perhaps we are in the minority in our thinking. But, we would probably visit every week if the selections were better. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
