Derry Homegrown Farm & Artisan Market Inc

Derry Homegrown’s mission is to provide local farmers and growers, artisanal bakers, gourmets and craftspeople with a long term sustainable marketplace for Derry and surrounding communities. We intend to create a vibrant marketplace where the community can purchase locally grown produce, locally raised meats, eggs and poultry, organic and grass fed dairy options, and the highest quality prepared foods and baked goods along with quality handcrafted items from local artisans. We will also strive to educate the community on the many benefits of eating and buying locally.

Our Market provides the community with a weekly outdoor gathering that includes music, entertainment, and a place to meet friends and family while shopping for locally produced foods and crafts.  We are fortunate to have prime space in downtown Derry generously donated by the Bensons each season.  

This season we have taken on the added expense of administering the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps.  The SNAP program extends our reach into the community to allow SNAP clients to purchase fresh locally grown produce at the Market.  Through the Granite State Market Match program, our customers will receive $2.00 of purchasing power for every dollar they spend.  

Derry Homegrown is a 501C3 organization run mostly by volunteers.  Funds that we raise help to pay for insurance, musicians, technology (bookkeeping software & POS Terminal) equipment such as tents and umbrellas, payroll for our onsite market manager and advertising.   Your generosity will help us to continue to provide this valuable service to our community in Derry NH.
