Seacoast Eat Local presents the eighth edition of the Seacoast Harvest local food guide! This is certainly reason for celebration as we find ourselves living in one of the best communities for local foods in the nation! Every year Seacoast Harvest delivers the most up-to-date local food information. Dive into our extensive list of local farms, farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture programs, and sustainable fisheries.

Local food represents not only tasty and nutritious ingredients and products, but also a community committed to sustainability, passionate about supporting family farms, and dedicated to the eating of and access to wholesome foods. It also signifies a devoted group of farmers, producers, restaurants, and generous sponsors and consumers that take on the challenge (and rewards!) of locally produced foods with open arms.

The evolution of this guide is a testament to how the Seacoast region embraces the idea of local foods. Each year new farms open their doors, CSAs expand and offer more diverse products, and farmers’ markets get larger with more weekly customers. Our local food system is also transforming to better serve everyone in our community. Every year more and more food pantries and soup kitchens accept fresh foods for their patrons, and gleaning programs harvest and transport leftover produce from local farms to those in need. Farmers’ markets and organizations such as Seacoast Eat Local are also making it possible for customers to use SNAP (food stamps) benefits to buy locally grown food.

I sincerely hope this guide gets you inspired. As the season progresses we all must take a role in preserving and supporting the resources around us. We do this by shopping at the local farm store, attending the farmers market weekly, joining a CSA, dining at a locally sourcing restaurant, and by using and sharing the Seacoast Harvest guide. Eating is not only an agricultural act, as Wendell Berry so brilliantly observed, it is also a family act, a community act, and a personal commitment to wholesome healthy food. Taste. Smile. Enjoy.

See you at the market! Sarah Jacobson Project Coordinator

CSA: Community Supported AgricultureCSA is a partnership between consumers and farmers in which members buy shares of the farm’s harvest and enjoy regular allotments of food throughout the growing season. A CSA share provides lots of great food all summer long, as well as a chance to make a meaningful connection with a farm. For farmers, this provides much-needed cash flow at the beginning of the season, as well as a ready market and community of supporters. Shareholders join in the risks of the growing season and reap the benefits of the harvest. Each CSA farm has its own pricing structure, disbursement schedule, and some have work requirements. Increasingly common are market style or flexible choice CSAs, where the shareholder pays up front and then receives a credit from which to shop during the season. This model allows the CSA member to take the amount of produce and products they can use at any given time.

Sign-ups for CSA shares often begin in February by directly contacting the farm. Each year in February, Seacoast Eat Local hosts two CSA Days at the Winter Markets. At CSA Days, you have the opportunity to meet dozens of farmers who have CSA shares available for the summer season, ask questions of the farmers, and find the right CSA for you. In 2015, CSA Days at the Winter Markets will take place on February 14th in Rollinsford and February 28 in Exeter.

Each CSA is unique, offering different pick up locations, diversity of products, and experiences. CSA is a smart choice for people looking for a wide variety of produce and a closer connection to a farm. CSF applies this concept to seafood, providing fishermen the benefits of a consistent customer base and shareholders a direct connection to our local fisheries and an opportunity to support sustainable fishing practices.

The Seacoast Harvest website, www.seacoastharvest.org, includes detailed descriptions of each CSA or CSF program.

Whole pigs and half cows

An economical and effi cient way to purchase locally raised meat is by bulk order of a quarter, half, or whole animal. Some farmers refer to these as “freezer orders” or by the amount of the animal you are purchasing. Freezer orders are most common for larger animals, such as pigs, cows, goats, and sheep. Although your order may be called a half pig, it will not arrive as one big piece! It will be butchered normally or to your specifi cations, and will come in individually wrapped pieces. A typical beef order will contain various steaks, roasts, short ribs, stew meat and hamburger. A typical pork order will contain ribs, tenderloin, pork chops, roasts, bacon, sausage, ham, and salt pork. Ordering is usually customized so that you may have more or less of particular cuts.

Seventy-fi ve pounds of meat will take up 3.5 cubic feet of freezer space. The freezer compartment of a typical home refrigerator is 4.8 cubic feet. A half hog might produce 75 pounds of meat, and a quarter beef might produce 125 pounds. Many people choose to go in with a friend on buying meat in bulk, or invest in small freezers to store not only meats but other locally procured foods year-round.

Cost can be calculated by live weight (before the animal is butchered), hanging weight or carcass weight (after it is slaughtered but before it is cut into individual cuts of meat), or the actual weight of your packages of meat, called fi nished cut weight. At each step of processing, some weight is lost as inedible parts such as bone, the hide, feet, and most of the innards are removed. Some farmers include the cost of processing in their per pound price, others itemize this cost separately. The value of various cuts of meat are averaged for meat purchased by hanging weight, typically making this the most common and economical option.

Land conservation and agriculture

Productive agricultural land is a finite and irreplaceable natural resource. Fertile soils are the result of climate, geology, and biology and take thousands of years to develop. Every year over 4,000 acres of Maine farmland are converted into developed uses; over the past two decades, New Hampshire has seen a 23% decline in land used for cropland and pasture.

Protecting farmland is more than saving beautiful vistas and bucolic scenery; it is investing in the future of local food production. If you are a farmer or a farmland owner interested in conservation, please consider contacting your local land trust to begin exploring the options available to you. In Seacoast Harvest, we ask farmers to acknowledge the organizations that conserve their land. That information is found within their listing and is indicated by a ★.

1. Shop at farmers’ markets

and farm stands. You don’t

have to buy a whole week’s worth of

groceries. Farm-fresh eggs or a few

heads of garlic are affordable purchases

and can prove the superiority of

local food!

2. Join a CSA, CSF, or

buying club. Buying in

advance and in bulk can save you

money and ensure support for growers,

producers, and fisheries throughout

their season.

3. Hold a potluck, using only

locally grown produce, meats,

and refreshments. There are several

local vineyards listed in Seacoast

Harvest, and many area microbreweries

specialize in using local products.

4. Grow your own. From a

glorious seasonal garden

to a humble windowsill pot of

herbs, growing your own food is

an engaging commitment to eating

locally. Beyond gardening, foraging,

fishing, or keeping chickens are other

ways to feed yourself.

5. Get involved. Check

out our website at www.

seacoasteatlocal.org for a whole host

of local food initiatives. Join us on

Facebook and follow us on Twitter

and Pinterest, too.

DIY: Food PreservationPreserving food is a great way to take advantage of seasonal abundance and have a diverse selection of delicious, local food all year long. For information on canning, pickling, freezing, and drying, visit our website at www.seacoasteatlocal.org. Be sure to check the events calendar for upcoming food preservation demonstrations and workshops happening in our community.

What’s Local Tonight? Many area restaurants are increasingly sourcing their ingredients from local farms. We can help support these efforts, and in turn support area farmers, by letting our servers know this is important to us when we dine out. Asking “What’s local tonight?” is a great way to start the conversation. For an up-to-date list of restaurants that use local ingredients in their menus, visit www.seacoasteatlocal.org.

FARMSStoring Vegetables and Fruit

Without Plastic

Apples: Store on a cool counter or shelf for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep in a cardboard box in the fridge.

Asparagus: Place stalks loosely in a glass or bowl, upright with the cut ends in water, at room temperature. Will keep for a week outside the fridge.

Beets: Cut the tops off to keep beets firm (but keep the greens!); tops left on root vegetables draw moisture from the root, making them lose flavor and firmness. Beets should be washed and kept in an open container with a wet towel on top.

Cucumber: Wrap in a moist towel in the fridge. If you’re planning on eating them within a day or two after purchasing, they should be fine left out in a cool room.

Greens: Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an airtight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collards, and chard also do well in a cup of water on the counter or in the fridge.

Peaches: This includes most stone fruit—refrigerate only when fully ripe. If firm, ripen fruit by leaving out on the counter.

Spinach: Store loose in an open container in the crisper. Cool as soon as possible. Spinach loves to stay cold.

Strawberries: They do best in a paper bag in the fridge for up to a week. They don’t like to be wet, so check the bag for moisture every other day.

Sweet peppers: Only wash them right before you plan on eating them, as wetness decreases storage time. Store in a cool room to use in a couple of days; place in the crisper if longer storage is needed.

Tomatoes: Never refrigerate—doing so will ruin their flavor and texture. Depending on ripeness, tomatoes can stay on the counter for up to two weeks. To hasten ripening, place in a paper bag with an apple.

LOCAL SEAFOOD Learning About SeafoodDespite our proximity to the ocean, determining which seafood is available and sourced locally is a complex task. Our goals are to support our local food producers, the larger ocean environment, and the future of fish species, while enjoying delicious and healthful food. Educating ourselves as consumers enables us to engage in dialog with our seafood purveyors and make informed purchasing decisions.

FishWatch includes localized information about each species and its fishery, including the status of the stock and how the fishery is managed www.fishwatch.noaa.gov

The Gulf of Maine Research Institute’s Sustainable Seafood Initiative works with all parts of the supply chain to create an economically viable and ecologically sustainable seafood industry. www.gmri.org

NH Seafood includes information on seafood and additional restaurants and retailers that have NH seafood available for purchase. www.nhseafood.com

NH Sea Grant provides support, leadership, and expertise for marine research, education, and extension. www.seagrant.unh.edu

The Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance works to support New England fisheries through policy work and support for direct marketing efforts such as CSFs. www.namanet.org

Seacoast Eat Local’s SNAP/EBT Farmers’ Market Program is growing and expanding. In 2014, SNAP/EBT customers can use their benefits at the Greenland Farmers’ Market and the Dover, Exeter, and Portsmouth farmers’ markets hosted by the Seacoast Growers’ Association. In the winter, Seacoast Eat Local offers this program at our own markets in Exeter and Rollinsford. Additional markets in our area also welcome SNAP/EBT; see pages 30-31 for information.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for the Food Stamp Program, and requires recipients to use an Electronic Benefit Transfer card (EBT), similar to a debit card, in order to redeem their benefits. This program allows SNAP recipients to use their federal benefits to buy fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, milk and cheese, honey, breads, baked products, and even seeds or seedlings for food-producing plants.

How it worksWhen customers arrive at the market, they first visit the booth with the “Buy your SNAP/EBT tokens here” sign. Customers purchase as many $1 wooden tokens as they’d like with their EBT card. Then they use the tokens like cash to purchase locally grown, fresh and healthy food from participating vendors. Market Match provides incentives for SNAP/EBT recipients to be able to purchase additional fruits and vegetables. Customers receive up to an additional $10 free each visit.

Support this programGiving SNAP recipients the opportunity to use their federal benefits at local farmers’ markets not only makes local foods more accessible to low-income individuals and families, it also increases sales for farmers by bringing new customers to markets. We are working to further expand the program to more markets, while continuing to provide valuable outreach and education. Please support this important program by making a donation today.

To provide you with more information about where our food comes from and how it is grown, Seacoast Harvest asks farmers to describe their agricultural practices by selecting from the terms listed below. These terms and their definitions are intended to provide some clarity for both producers and consumers in an area that is often confusing given the growing number of terms used to describe farms and their products and the lack of legal definitions for many terms.

While our list of agricultural practices is not exhaustive, it includes working definitions for many of the practices commonly used on area farms. Some terms that are open to interpretation (e.g. “sustainable”) are not included. We hope this glossary helps you better understand the practices farmers choose to use on their farms, but this list is just a start. The best way to get more information is to talk to your farmers. They are happy to answer your questions about their practices.

Fruits & VegetablesCertified Naturally Grown: The farm is certified by the nonprofit Certified Naturally

Grown, an alternative to the USDA’s National Organic Program. The standards and growing requirements are no less strict than the NOP rules.

Certified Organic: The farm is “Certified Organic” by a USDA-approved certifying agency, and growing practices meet the standards of the National Organic Program (NOP). Organic farming is based on a system that maintains and replenishes soil fertility and limits the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Organic meat and poultry must be fed only organically grown feed (without any animal by-products) and cannot be treated with hormones or antibiotics. The NOP standards do not allow the use of genetically modified seeds.

Conventional: The farm uses synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and/or herbicides.

IPM: Integrated Pest Management: The farm uses a pest management strategy that includes a combination of biological, cultural, and chemical tools to reduce crop damage from insects, diseases, and weeds. Pesticides are used as only one part of the pest management strategy.

Low Spray (fruit): The farm uses a reduced synthetic pesticide spray program relative to the region’s conventional spray practices.

No GMO Used: The farm does not use any genetically modified organisms, including plant seeds and animal feed..

No Synthetic Chemicals Used: The farm does not use any synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.

Exempt Organic: The farm’s practices meet the standards of the National Organic Program, but the farm is not required to be certified because annual gross sales are less than $5,000.

GAP: Good Agricultural Practices. A voluntary USDA program offered to the fruit and vegetable industry to verify an operation’s efforts to minimize the risk of contamination of fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts by microbial pathogens.

Meats & Dairy100% Grassfed: Animals only eat grasses from start to finish.Free Range: Animals are given daily access to the outdoors but are not raised primarily

on pasture.Grassfed with Grain Supplement: Animals are raised on pasture, and a controlled amount

of grain is eventually introduced into their diet.Heritage Breeds: The farm raises rare and endangered breeds of livestock to reintroduce

genetic diversity and prevent extinction.No Added Hormones: Animals are raised without added growth hormones.No Antibiotics Used: No antibiotics are administered to the animals during their lifetime.No Routine Antibiotics Used: Antibiotics are not given to the animals to prevent disease

but may be administered if the animals become ill.Pasture-Raised: Animals are raised outdoors on pasture in a humane, ecologically

sustainable manner, rather than in a feedlot or confined facility.
