About Us

At our Market, and in partnership with Fiddleheads next door, we believe a store should be more than just a place to shop—it should be a place where friends and neighbors bump into each other, conversations happen (or continue) spontaneously, and the feeling of community can be nurtured and grown. Since 1878, we’ve been proud to serve Hancock and the Monadnock Region with fresh, local goods and a welcoming spirit. Our core values reflect what matters most to us: community, quality, and the simple joy of good food shared.
