Welcome to Seacoast Outdoors, unique in New England for the diversity of our outings and adventure travel, and also for our friendliness. We do local hikes, but we also do a whole lot more including all sorts of outdoor travel and adventures, from whitewater rafting in Maine to hiking or mountain biking in Utah. Moreover, there’s a sense of camaraderie here that many say is missing from other groups. Meeting and enjoying the company of like-minded people is as important as the activity or the de …

Community. Local skills. Local Food. Adapting in place. But self-reliant, no. We are in this together. In these unsure times of climate change, peak oil, and economic instability, the one thing we do have is each other. To quote Toby Hemenway, "When we create a web of interdependencies, we grow richer, stronger, safer, and wiser." Permaculture is a means to develop life skills and enhancements for sustainable living and beyond. "To practice permaculture is to actively create a positi …

This is a casual gathering of German speakers of all levels, novice to fluent, who simply like to gather on a regular basis for food, drink and conversation. We meet formally twice a month, usually a Tuesday or Wednesday, in local pubs/restaurants from 6pm to about 8pm.  Generally, we reserve a table based on the # of RSVPs.   Attendees order their own food and beverage and we request separate checks. Informal Sunday gatherings occur at Kaffee VonSolln on Daniel Street in Portsmouth from about 3 …

If you like wine and food, this group is for you. This group was started as a place to find other people who want to learn about wine and food. We plan to meet at least once per month at a local venue that allows us to bring our own wine. There are several great places in the North Shore we can enjoy wine and food in a casual, fun, and interesting atmosphere. I am a wine educator based on the North Shore.  Since I love wine, food, and socializing, I have been lucky enough to discover places from …

I attended the three weekend Permaculture workshops in the Fall of 2010 and now I'm fully hooked. As Charles Yelton is fond of saying about certain things, "Once you go down the rabbit hole you can't ever go back." And that is certainly true for me and my love of Permaculture. I didn't just go down the rabbit hole, I shot down it like my last meal was in there somewhere. We are beginning the process of turning this one acre into a Permaculture Demonstration Site, so that friends, community, fam …

We are a new farm and we want to involve people in the growing experience.  Currently we run a small-scale CSA and sell at the Haverhill and Merrimac Farmers Markets. Our goal is to produce food sustainably and to have fun doing it. We are still learning, but we have come a long way. Here is your chance to connect with a local producer and be a part of the growing process. If you like to pull weeds, talk, eat, admire nature, plant, swim, learn, laugh, and give us feedback on the farm we would l …

Anyone who considers themselves in a committed relationship from one month to 100 years and at least one was born between 1946 and 1964 or thereabouts and you enjoy meeting new friends. You may have already noticed that this is not an open meetup group, meaning that only members can actually see who else is in the group and see the specifics of our activities. We prefer our privacy, but we have very …

Seacoast Skill Sharing is all about building community self-reliance and is based on the simple idea that we can teach and learn from each other. It’s about getting together to experience the wealth of local knowledge; to learn how to do, make, and repair. Over the coming months, Seacoast Skill Sharing will host a series of workshops featuring the skills of….. YOU! So, what is something that you would like to learn? to share with others?

The most common, difficult to resolve and challenging conditions such as fatigue, irritability and mood swings, headaches, allergies and sinus trouble, digestive issues or difficulty losing weight can be helped.

Fun, educational, empowering, and rewarding! We’re all about eating healthier foods, consuming healthier products, caring for our health (and healing ourselves) using the most natural means possible, and finding the solutions to perplexing issues that we have for, some strange reason, thought were normal, but now on second thought think, maybe, just maybe, there is a better way. We will build upon Open Minded Information exchange that will enhance the world around us for our kids, our personal s …

Don't confuse being prepared with living in fear of the unknown. We may not be able to control the final outcome of some things, but we can certainly control parts of the journey along the way. There's a story my father used to share with me about a man trapped on the top of his house during a flood. The water was swiftly rising. As this man sits on his roof, fearful of being swept away by the current, he cries out to God, “God please deliver me.”A few moments later, a farmer friend arrives with …

This is a group for anyone interested in meeting and making new friends over coffee and a great breakfast or brunch. We will meet once every two weeks on a weekend morning in the seacoast or surrounding towns at local area eateries. This is a fantastic way to get to know the area's best local restaurants and to also "eat local" and make a lasting contribution to small businesses. Hope you will join us!!!
