Farmers' Market & Pick-Your-Own Guide for the Seacoast

Buy Local!

By Jonna Kinlin, publisher of Macaroni KID Seacoast April 23, 2025

It's farmers' market and pick-your-own time in the Seacoast!

Updated April 23, 2025

We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family to visit a pick-your-own (PYO) farm or a farmers' market in the Seacoast.

Here are a few things to note before heading out to farmers’ markets or PYO farms in the Seacoast:

  • Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice dependent on weather, produce availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day. Prices can also change from day to day.
  • Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges! 
  • Bring cash as some Seacoast farmer market stands and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
