Throughout the month of August, the Monadnock Food Co-op celebrates New Hampshire Eats Local Month by offering a variety of farm and local food events.
A strong local food system keeps communities vibrant, economies growing, and landscapes healthy. When we buy and eat local food, the benefits ripple out to our community, helping small businesses thrive.
All month long, we hope to inspire you to eat more locally grown, raised, and made foods, meet the farmers, growers, and chefs behind your food — plus, learn new skills that keep you eating locally throughout the year.
