FARMSTAND HOURS: Sundays 11am-1pm. LOCATION: SHARE 1 Columbus Ave, Milford NH

No Farmstand on Sunday September 26th; Our last Farmstand date is Sunday, October 3rd

Little Free Farmstand ~ "Grow & Give"

We are excited to introduce this new initiative! Based on a similar program in Nashua, we are collaborating with SHARE in Milford to make fresh produce and eggs readily available to the community. Taking advantage of the farmstand is a great way for families to try new products without cost/risk, involve children in selecting healthy options, and foster a greater sense of community.

As part of this outreach project, we are also 'unearthing' our church garden and will be planting vegetables to donate to the farmstand.

How does it work?
We invite local growers from Amherst and Milford (and surrounding towns) to deliver their excess produce and eggs to one of our 3 Donation Stations on Sunday.

Volunteers setup and staff the farmstand and folks come 'shop' on Sunday (11am-1pm). Any produce leftover goes to the SHARE food pantry for their clients to select from during the week.
