Farmers’ Market of Keene Joins Monadnock Region Earth Festival

Leave a comment

The Monadnock Food Co-op is thrilled to announce that the Farmers’ Market of Keene will join this year’s Monadnock Region Earth Festival on April 23, 2016 from 2:00pm – 4:00pm.  Participating vendors include Ruffled Feathers Farm, Wingate Farm, Holland Homestead Farm, Mad Radish CSA, Main Street Cheese, Orchard Hill Breadworks, and Walpole Mountain View Winery.

The entire Monadnock Region Earth Festival runs from noon to 4:00 pm, and takes place outdoors — next to the Co-op — and along the bike path, leading to the Railroad Square Park in Keene.  However, the wine tasting by Walpole Mountain View Winery will be held inside the Co-op. This event is free and open to the public.

“The Farmers’ Market of Keene is excited to be a part of this festival to provide and celebrate all that is fresh and local,” said Susie Parke-Sutherland, Co-owner & Manager of Wingate Farm.

The Monadnock Region Earth Festival is sponsored by the Monadnock Food Co-op, Antioch University New England and The Peak.
