The Lakes Region will soon have a convenient location to pick up local food offerings fresh from the farm and homemade goodies. Every Saturday, January through March, 67 East Main Street (Route 3) inTilton is going to transform into the Tilton Winter Farmers’ Market (www.TiltonWinterFarmersMarket.com ). It will be conveniently located at exit 20 off I-93, diagonally across the street from AutoServ of Tilton. You will soon be able to find farmers’ market goodness in the middle of winter.

The Tilton Winter Farmers’ Market is being sponsored by the AutoServ Family of Dealerships. AutoServ recently opened up the AutoCafe in their Tilton location to offer their customers, employees and the general public a fresh and healthy alternative to fast food. The Gaudet family, owners of the AutoServ family of dealerships, knows the importance of fresh foods and healthy living. Dennis Gaudet said “I am excited for this opportunity to sponsor the market and help bring fresh offering to the community. In the summer there are many places to buy fresh foods but the options dwindle during the winter months. The market is also helping the community by giving vendors a local place to bring their goods to the public.”

Currently, 31 vendors will beselling their goods; a sampling includes organic produce and greens, meats, eggs, dairy, cheese, breads and pastries, gourmet popcorn, tomatoes, garlic, fudge, apples, cider, honey, granola, maple syrup, jams and jellies, coffee roasters and teas, body care, herbal products, dog treats, and composting worms.
