Welcome
-
The Andover Farmers’ Market started in 2007 as a
collaborative effort between a Phillips Andover student and the
Andover Historical Society. After spending summers at her grand
parent’s home in Burlington VT and attending the large and vibrant
farmers’ market there, Susannah Poland felt there was something
lacking in her home town of Andover. Susannah embarked on a mission
to gather members of the sustainable living community and organize a
farmers' market.
At the same time the Andover Historical Society was searching for a way to reach out to the community while highlighting some of Andover’s interesting history. Seeing that Andover was predominately a farming community in the early days what a better way to bring the community together than with its farming roots?
The individual and the organization meet on the journey to the same goal and successfully organized the Andover Farmers’ Market in the summer of 2007. On opening day crowds lined the street as over 300 visitors passed through the historical society’s lawn to peruse fresh and locally produced fruits, vegetables, flowers, breads, pies, cookies, herbs, and much more.
Please join us as we embark on our second season promising to be even large and more vibrant than last season!!
