We’re excited to welcome New Hampshire author Matt Forrest Esenwine to the Candia Farmers Market! Stop by to meet Matt, chat about his books, and celebrate the joy of storytelling.
Matt’s journey started in radio, writing commercials, news, and comedy—while always holding onto his love of poetry (his first poem was published in high school!). That passion led to award-winning work, including a Pushcart Prize nomination and the MacGregor Poetry Prize.
Today, he’s the author of more than a dozen children’s books, including Flashlight Night (named one of the New York Public Library’s Best Books for Kids) and I Am Today, winner of the 2023 New Hampshire Literary Award for Outstanding Children’s Literature.

New England Wagyu is a vertically integrated cattle and beef enterprise. The New England Wagyu cattle herd is built upon 100% DNA verified Wagyu cattle that were originally exported from Japan beginning in 1975.
With a true farm to table process, our feeding program is specifically tailored by a Wagyu nutritionist. Our herd is raised as stress free as possible on our pastures with rotational grazing and feed supplementation. The cattle are then processed in our own USDA Federally inspected processing plant. Our vertical integration allows us the unique opportunity to maintain complete control of our cattle from birth to processing.
NEW ENGLAND WAGYU – FULL BLOOD WAGYU
Full-blood Wagyu is produced from 100% Wagyu genetics
with no evidence of cross-breeding with other breeds.
100% Wagyu is the highest quality beef ever.
From the Owners Sam, Diana & Huckins: “Our journey with the Wagyu breed began with the purchase of two steers to provide beef for our own personal consumption and to share with friends and family. We were very concerned with the meat quality and wanted to ensure that our animals were raised and cared for with our highest demand of husbandry. Our friends and family enjoyed the meat so much that we decided to expand our farm and processing capabilities, with the care for the animal being of our utmost concern. Ultimately the care and handling of the animals led us to the purchase of a USDA Federally inspected processing plant to ensure the animals’ last day was as humane as possible.”
Look for us at the Candia Farmers Market again this season. We will be offering a variety of steaks, roasts, sausage, and other cuts of beef, dog bones, and goods made by hand with our rendered tallow including soap and lotions.
Get ready for a taste of Italy, straight from my grandmother’s kitchen to yours! Join me at the Candia Farmers Market and treat yourself to a FREE sample of my Nonnie’s famous Bolognese sauce—a recipe passed down through generations, simmered with love, and packed with authentic flavor. Each quart of Bolognese is lovingly prepared in small batches for $16.00, bringing you the same rich, savory sauce that made every Sunday dinner unforgettable at Nonnie’s house. And trust me—it’s a labor of love!

A Taste of Family History:
Growing up, Sunday dinners at Nonnie’s were always filled with the smells of delicious food, family, and memories. Antipasto, homemade macaroni with Bolognese (with pork chop bones so tender, they’d fall right off!), and roasted turkey, complemented by Italian bread and pastries from the local bakery. I can still picture her rolling out macaroni by hand with her giant 3-foot rolling pin!

Can’t Wait to See You!
You can pre-order your quart via email, so you don’t miss out! Trust me, your taste buds will thank you long after you’ve enjoyed your first bite.
