Hampstead Farmers Market
On Thursday evenings, the Hampstead Farmers Market sets up at Ironclad Golf & Beer Garden. It’s a producers-only market where you buy from the people who grew, raised or made it, and the setting turns shopping into an outing with food, drinks and room for the kids.
What stands out
The market’s own description is simple: connecting people directly with local farmers, bakers and makers. Vendors have included pasture-raised meats and eggs, produce, honey, seafood and native plants. The vendor mix changes with the season, so treat it as a fun evening out with local food to bring home, not a guaranteed shopping list.
What to pick up
- Pasture-raised meats and eggsFrom local farms such as Farmasea.
