For Partners

NH Eats Local Month partnerships are a no-cost, in-kind promotional partnership. NH Eats Local promotes your business or organization as a NH Eats Local Month Partner and your business or organization promotes the messages and initiatives of NH Eats Local Month.

The focal point of 2022 NH Eats Local Month is the Live Free + Eat Local Challenge. We’re challenging people across the Granite State to find and eat local food from at least five different locations across the state— whether it’s from vendors at their local farmers’ markets, pick-your-own orchards, through a food hub or at a restaurant that sources from New Hampshire growers. Eaters will log the five farm or food businesses on their Live Free + Eat Local Challenge submission forms (in print or online) and submit their form for a chance to win a deliciously local prize. Here’s how you can get involved and support the challenge:
