Welcome to Seacoast Harvest
Your connection to local food in Rockingham, Strafford, and York Counties
Seacoast Eat Local presents the eighth edition of the Seacoast Harvest local food guide! This is certainly reason for celebration as we find
ourselves living in one of the best communities for local foods in the nation! Every year Seacoast Harvest delivers the most up-to-date
local food information. Dive into our extensive list of local farms, farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture programs, and
sustainable fisheries.
Local food represents not only tasty and nutritious ingredients and products, but also a community committed to sustainability, passionate
about supporting family farms, and dedicated to the eating of and access to wholesome foods. It also signifies a devoted group of farmers,
producers, restaurants, and generous sponsors and consumers that take on the challenge (and rewards!) of locally produced foods with
open arms.
The evolution of this guide is a testament to how the Seacoast region embraces the idea of local foods. Each year new farms open their
doors, CSAs expand and offer more diverse products, and farmers’ markets get larger with more weekly customers. Our local food system
is also transforming to better serve everyone in our community. Every year more and more food pantries and soup kitchens accept fresh
foods for their patrons, and gleaning programs harvest and transport leftover produce from local farms to those in need. Farmers’ markets
and organizations such as Seacoast Eat Local are also making it possible for customers to use SNAP (food stamps) benefits to buy locally
grown food.
I sincerely hope this guide gets you inspired. As the season progresses we all must take a role in preserving and supporting the resources
around us. We do this by shopping at the local farm store, attending the farmers market weekly, joining a CSA, dining at a locally sourcing
restaurant, and by using and sharing the Seacoast Harvest guide. Eating is not only an agricultural act, as Wendell Berry so brilliantly
observed, it is also a family act, a community act, and a personal commitment to wholesome healthy food. Taste. Smile. Enjoy.
See you at the market!

The guide is a resource used by thousands of area residents to find specific products, locate farmers’ markets and food pantries, access
information about locally produced food, learn about CSAs, and become educated about seafood.
Seacoast Harvest is just one of several key services that Seacoast Eat Local provides to the region. In addition to this annual free guide,

who harvest and deliver the produce to local food pantries
• Hosts workshops and events for farmers and consumers, advocating the importance of eating locally for the health of our
environment, community, culture, and economy.
These services are all free to farmers, food producers, and consumers in the area and are made possible by grants, sponsorships, and
private donations. By supporting Seacoast Eat Local with a donation, you contribute to Seacoast Eat Local’s services and to the region’s

CSA: Community Supported Agriculture
CSA is a partnership between consumers and farmers in which members buy shares
of the farm’s harvest and enjoy regular allotments of food throughout the growing
season. A CSA share provides lots of great food all summer long, as well as a chance to
make a meaningful connection with a farm. For farmers, this provides much-needed
cash flow at the beginning of the season, as well as a ready market and community of
supporters. Shareholders join in the risks of the growing season and reap the benefits
of the harvest. Each CSA farm has its own pricing structure, disbursement schedule,
and some have work requirements. Increasingly common are market style or flexible
choice CSAs, where the shareholder pays up front and then receives a credit from
which to shop during the season. This model allows the CSA member to take the
amount of produce and products they can use at any given time.
Sign-ups for CSA shares often begin in February by directly contacting the farm.
Each year in February, Seacoast Eat Local hosts two CSA Days at the Winter Markets.
At CSA Days, you have the opportunity to meet dozens of farmers who have CSA
shares available for the summer season, ask questions of the farmers, and find the right
CSA for you. In 2015, CSA Days at the Winter Markets will take place on February
14th in Rollinsford and February 28 in Exeter.
Each CSA is unique, offering different pick up locations, diversity of products,
and experiences. CSA is a smart choice for people looking for a wide variety of
produce and a closer connection to a farm. CSF applies this concept to seafood,
providing fishermen the benefits of a consistent customer base and shareholders a
direct connection to our local fisheries and an opportunity to support sustainable
fishing practices.
The Seacoast Harvest website, www.seacoastharvest.org, includes detailed descriptions
of each CSA or CSF program.

Whole pigs and half cows
An economical and efficient way to purchase
locally raised meat is by bulk order of a
quarter, half, or whole animal. Some farmers
refer to these as “freezer orders” or by the
amount of the animal you are purchasing.
Freezer orders are most common for larger
animals, such as pigs, cows, goats, and
sheep. Although your order may be called a
half pig, it will not arrive as one big piece!
It will be butchered normally or to your
specifications, and will come in individually
wrapped pieces. A typical beef order will
contain various steaks, roasts, short ribs, stew
meat and hamburger. A typical pork order
will contain ribs, tenderloin, pork chops,
roasts, bacon, sausage, ham, and salt pork.
Ordering is usually customized so that you
may have more or less of particular cuts.
Seventy-five pounds of meat will take up
3.5 cubic feet of freezer space. The freezer
compartment of a typical home refrigerator
is 4.8 cubic feet. A half hog might produce
75 pounds of meat, and a quarter beef might
produce 125 pounds. Many people choose
to go in with a friend on buying meat in
bulk, or invest in small freezers to store not
only meats but other locally procured foods
year-round.
Cost can be calculated by live weight (before
the animal is butchered), hanging weight
or carcass weight (after it is slaughtered
but before it is cut into individual cuts of
meat), or the actual weight of your packages
of meat, called fi nished cut weight. At each
step of processing, some weight is lost as
inedible parts such as bone, the hide, feet,
and most of the innards are removed. Some
farmers include the cost of processing in
their per pound price, others itemize this
cost separately. The value of various cuts
of meat are averaged for meat purchased by
hanging weight, typically making this the
most common and economical option.

Land conservation and agriculture
Productive agricultural land is a finite and irreplaceable natural resource. Fertile soils are the result of climate, geology, and
biology and take thousands of years to develop. Every year over 4,000 acres of Maine farmland are converted into developed
uses; over the past two decades, New Hampshire has seen a 23% decline in land used for cropland and pasture.
Protecting farmland is more than saving beautiful vistas and bucolic scenery; it is investing in the future of local food
production. If you are a farmer or a farmland owner interested in conservation, please consider contacting your local land
trust to begin exploring the options available to you. In Seacoast Harvest, we ask farmers to acknowledge the organizations
that conserve their land. That information is found within their listing and is indicated by a ★.
Thanks to Great Works Regional Land Trust, the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, and Bear-Paw Regional Greenways for

1.
delicious ways
to eat local
Shop at farmers’ markets
and farm stands. You don’t
have to buy a whole week’s worth of
groceries. Farm-fresh eggs or a few
heads of garlic are affordable purchases
and can prove the superiority of
local food!
2.
Join a CSA, CSF, or
buying club. Buying in
advance and in bulk can save you
money and ensure support for growers,
producers, and fisheries throughout
their season.
3.
Hold a potluck, using only
locally grown produce, meats,
and refreshments. There are several
local vineyards listed in Seacoast
Harvest, and many area microbreweries
specialize in using local products.
4.
Grow your own. From a
glorious
seasonal
herbs, growing your own food is
an engaging commitment to eating
locally. Beyond gardening, foraging,
fishing, or keeping chickens are other
ways to feed yourself.
Get
involved.

What’s Local Tonight?
Many area restaurants are increasingly sourcing their ingredients from local farms.
We can help support these efforts, and in turn support area farmers, by letting
our servers know this is important to us when we dine out. Asking “What’s local

that use local ingredients in their menus, visit www.seacoasteatlocal.org.

Storing Vegetables and Fruit
Without Plastic
Apples: Store on a cool counter or shelf for
up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep
in a cardboard box in the fridge.
Asparagus: Place stalks loosely in a glass or
bowl, upright with the cut ends in water,
at room temperature. Will keep for a week
outside the fridge.
Beets: Cut the tops off to keep beets firm
(but keep the greens!); tops left on root
vegetables draw moisture from the root,
making them lose flavor and firmness.
Beets should be washed and kept in an
open container with a wet towel on top.
Cucumber: Wrap in a moist towel in the
fridge. If you’re planning on eating them
within a day or two after purchasing, they
should be fine left out in a cool room.
Greens: Remove any bands, twist ties, etc.
Most greens must be kept in an airtight
container with a damp cloth to keep them
from drying out. Kale, collards, and chard
also do well in a cup of water on the
counter or in the fridge.
Peaches: This includes most stone
fruit—refrigerate only when fully ripe.
If firm, ripen fruit by leaving out on
the counter.
Spinach: Store loose in an open container
in the crisper. Cool as soon as possible.
Spinach loves to stay cold.
Strawberries: They do best in a paper
bag in the fridge for up to a week. They
don’t like to be wet, so check the bag for
moisture every other day.
Sweet peppers: Only wash them right
before you plan on eating them, as wetness
decreases storage time. Store in a cool
room to use in a couple of days; place in
the crisper if longer storage is needed.
Tomatoes: Never refrigerate—doing so will
ruin their flavor and texture. Depending on
ripeness, tomatoes can stay on the counter
for up to two weeks. To hasten ripening,
place in a paper bag with an apple.

LOCAL SEAFOOD
Learning About Seafood
Despite our proximity to the ocean, determining which seafood is available and sourced
locally is a complex task. Our goals are to support our local food producers, the larger
ocean environment, and the future of fish species, while enjoying delicious and healthful
food. Educating ourselves as consumers enables us to engage in dialog with our seafood
purveyors and make informed purchasing decisions.
FishWatch includes localized information about each species and its fishery, including the
status of the stock and how the fishery is managed www.fishwatch.noaa.gov
The Gulf of Maine Research Institute’s Sustainable Seafood Initiative works with
all parts of the supply chain to create an economically viable and ecologically sustainable
seafood industry. www.gmri.org
NH Seafood includes information on seafood and additional restaurants and retailers
that have NH seafood available for purchase. www.nhseafood.com
NH Sea Grant provides support, leadership, and expertise for marine research,
education, and extension. www.seagrant.unh.edu

SNAP/EBT
Seacoast Eat Local’s SNAP/EBT Farmers’ Market Program is growing
and expanding. In 2014, SNAP/EBT customers can use their benefits at
the Greenland Farmers’ Market and the Dover, Exeter, and Portsmouth
farmers’ markets hosted by the Seacoast Growers’ Association. In the
winter, Seacoast Eat Local offers this program at our own markets in
Exeter and Rollinsford. Additional markets in our area also welcome
SNAP/EBT; see pages 30-31 for information.
SM
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for the Food Stamp
Program, and requires recipients to use an Electronic Benefit Transfer card (EBT), similar to a
debit card, in order to redeem their benefits. This program allows SNAP recipients to use their
federal benefits to buy fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, milk and cheese, honey, breads, baked
products, and even seeds or seedlings for food-producing plants.
How it works
When customers arrive at the market, they first visit the booth with the “Buy your SNAP/EBT
tokens here” sign. Customers purchase as many $1 wooden tokens as they’d like with their EBT
card. Then they use the tokens like cash to purchase locally grown, fresh and healthy food from
participating vendors. Market Match provides incentives for SNAP/EBT recipients to be able
to purchase additional fruits and vegetables. Customers receive up to an additional $10 free each
visit.
Support this program
Giving SNAP recipients the opportunity to use their federal benefits at local farmers’ markets not
only makes local foods more accessible to low-income individuals and families, it also increases
sales for farmers by bringing new customers to markets. We are working to further expand the
program to more markets, while continuing to provide valuable outreach and education. Please
support this important program by making a donation today.

Support for this program is provided by Seacoast Area Teachers of Yoga in Action, the Thomas W. Haas
Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Wholesome Wave, and the NH Food Bank.
Use SNAP/EBT at the
market and receive up
to $10 free for fruits
and vegetables!
Our Market Match program will
double the first ten dollars spent using
an EBT card. These extra dollars can
be used for the purchase of more fruits
and vegetables.
Market Match is available at the
summer Dover, Greenland, Exeter, and
Portsmouth markets, and at the Exeter
and Rollinsford markets in winter.

FOOD PANTRIES
Below is a listing of food pantries in the Seacoast that accept donations of fresh food. The option to donate healthy, local
food offers an inspiring way to contribute to the important service of food pantries: farmers can donate some of their bumper crop, volunteers
can glean from farm fields, and individual gardeners can bring in produce when their gardens are overflowing. Please contact the pantries to
arrange donations. Drop-off times and additional pantry information can be found on our website, www.seacoasteatlocal.org.

GLOSSARY
To provide you with more information about where our food comes from and how it is grown,
Seacoast Harvest asks farmers to describe their agricultural practices by selecting from the terms
listed below. These terms and their definitions are intended to provide some clarity for both
producers and consumers in an area that is often confusing given the growing number of terms
used to describe farms and their products and the lack of legal definitions for many terms.
While our list of agricultural practices is not exhaustive, it includes working definitions for many
of the practices commonly used on area farms. Some terms that are open to interpretation (e.g.
“sustainable”) are not included. We hope this glossary helps you better understand the practices
farmers choose to use on their farms, but this list is just a start.The best way to get more information
is to talk to your farmers.They are happy to answer your questions about their practices.
Fruits & Vegetables
Certified Naturally Grown: The farm is certified by the nonprofit Certified Naturally
Grown, an alternative to the USDA’s National Organic Program. The standards and growing
requirements are no less strict than the NOP rules.
Certified Organic: The farm is “Certified Organic” by a USDA-approved certifying agency,
and growing practices meet the standards of the National Organic Program (NOP). Organic
farming is based on a system that maintains and replenishes soil fertility and limits the use
of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Organic meat and poultry must be fed only
organically grown feed (without any animal by-products) and cannot be treated with hormones
or antibiotics. The NOP standards do not allow the use of genetically modified seeds.
Conventional: The farm uses synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides,
and/or herbicides.
IPM: Integrated Pest Management: The farm uses a pest management strategy that includes a
combination of biological, cultural, and chemical tools to reduce crop damage from insects,
diseases, and weeds. Pesticides are used as only one part of the pest management strategy.
Low Spray (fruit): The farm uses a reduced synthetic pesticide spray program relative to the
region’s conventional spray practices.
No GMO Used: The farm does not use any genetically modified organisms, including plant
seeds and animal feed..
No Synthetic Chemicals Used: The farm does not use any synthetic chemical fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides.
Exempt Organic: The farm’s practices meet the standards of the National Organic Program,
but the farm is not required to be certified because annual gross sales are less than $5,000.
GAP: Good Agricultural Practices. A voluntary USDA program offered to the fruit and
vegetable industry to verify an operation’s efforts to minimize the risk of contamination of
fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts by microbial pathogens.
Meats & Dairy
100% Grassfed: Animals only eat grasses from start to finish.
Free Range: Animals are given daily access to the outdoors but are not raised primarily
on pasture.
Grassfed with Grain Supplement: Animals are raised on pasture, and a controlled amount
of grain is eventually introduced into their diet.
Heritage Breeds: The farm raises rare and endangered breeds of livestock to reintroduce
genetic diversity and prevent extinction.
No Added Hormones: Animals are raised without added growth hormones.
No Antibiotics Used: No antibiotics are administered to the animals during their lifetime.
No Routine Antibiotics Used: Antibiotics are not given to the animals to prevent disease
but may be administered if the animals become ill.
Pasture-Raised: Animals are raised outdoors on pasture in a humane, ecologically
sustainable manner, rather than in a feedlot or confined facility.
