Anyways, numerous vendors gather in the field owned my Crystal Farms to sell their veggies, fruits, meats, frozen meals, breads, mushrooms, seasonings, yogurts, pastries, flowers, and items handmade by a seamstress. While you meander among the tents you can listen to fiddlers or singers while sipping coffee from a local coffee truck. Just make sure to grab a scone or cookie to nibble on with it to complete the experience. There is also a flower garden across the street that you can walk over to admire.

What an amazing farm and owner. Biked out to her farm to check it out. She came right out and when…read moreI made my choice she went out to pick me my produce. So fresh, great price, and wonderful to support local farmers. Not sure of hours but I was out there mid day on a Sunday and the open gal was out on the sign.

Brunswick's Saturday winter market is so popular. The wide variety of vendors is impressive. From…read morefresh produce to ready-made Ethiopian food, to handcrafted wooden bowls to meats and cheeses, there truly is something for everyone. Shoppers peruse the aisles of vendors and usually see a familiar face or two. The energy is joyful and vibrant. There usually is someone playing music to add to the atmosphere. Vendors are always happy to answer questions. The parking outside tends to be crowded so if you don't mind walking, there are nearby public parking spots/lots in Maine St. The entrance is in the corner/center of the mill (flea market on the left side of the building and Dutchman's Bagels on the right). Once in the building, the market is to the right. There is an info table upon entering. You can purchase Bumper Crop coupons for 5$ a piece, that can be used at most, if not all, booths. It is so important to support our local farmers and crafters.

In many ways that is my only complaint, since its success draws enormous crowds on Saturday mornings. Nevertheless, I am happy for the vendors, and love the quality and diversity of products they bring each week. Brave the crowds and difficult parking, and make a trip here... you won't be disappointed.

We're local now, so this is a year-round destination for us. In the summer it's outside in Bath's…read moreWaterfront Park (usually from late April through mid-October) and in the winter, a smaller version is in the historic Bath Freight Shed which is also home to the Maine's First Ship Museum. The line up is an eclectic mix of Maine products and vendors. Whether you need a sweater (or her lamb), specialty vinegars (and recipes), or any other delicious housewarming or holiday present, the market offers a diverse array of products besides the organic produce and other goodies. We like providing them to our VRBO guests too. We do wish they would move Hootenanny's Bread to the south end of the market near Dharma Farms and Kelly Bros beef-- it would reduce the congestion from the long lines and make the "main street" of the market more enjoyable. The market moves indoors with fewer vendors in November-- being in the historic freight shed is a little more crowded but also cozy as the winter months progress. And our freezer is never without a Mainely Poultry pot pie or two, some haddock "burgers", or a Chase Farms apple pie. It's our kids (and their kids) favorite activity when they visit.

Not only is this waterfront market the most picturesque place imaginable in autumn, but all the…read morestellar vendors also have delicious things for sale AND personality to spare. Grab yourself some totally goattly chipotle cheese, a few loaves from the Van Gogh of Dough, and some chicken legs from Maine-ly Poultry. And even if they aren't punny, pick up some fresh eggs, crab dip, squash, sage bundles for spiritual wellness, handmade candles, peppers of all kinds, shepherd's pie, heritiage pork, and the best jam ever. That's just a little bit of the selection. And if you tell the folks selling bulbs for your garden that you don't have a garden because you lead a sad life in NYC, they will offer a sympathetic, "Awwww." But my favorite thing about this market? There was a little kid trying to buy a pumpkin, and he dropped it. The nice vendor said he could still have it, but now it's a squash. I'm going to be using that dad joke for decades to come.

I love this little farm stand that is tucked down a lovely winding road. It may have odd and…read morechanging hours but it's a farm stand but totally expected of a busy farmer. Their chickens peck away in various fenced in spots around the small building and over look rolling hills and their large farm house. Fresh meats, eggs, milk and yogurt in the fridge and freezer when available and fresh veggies and crafts along the shelves. This is a self serve so bring your small bills but lots of them, you will want it all. There is stacks of egg cartons and bags that people bring back to be reused so bring yours to help out the recycle process.

Such a charming little farm stand, stop by for some real deal Maine.read more

She came upon the fact that the Portland Farmers' Market moves indoors for the winter season and we made plans to visit this past Saturday. While the winter market is smaller than the summer market, it still managed to fill the gymnasium at the girl's academy. We came late in the day, and many vendors apologized for how picked over they were, but we still managed to fulfill a good portion of our shopping needs. I'd say the score of the day was the dilly beans I came across as we were about to leave. I'm sure I scared the poor fella as I quickly grabbed the jar and excitedly handed him the money. I'll probably have to make the 40 mile trip next Saturday in hopes of replenishing my pickled green bean dreams.

Side note: once I walked in and saw an older couple doing a duet of Purple Rain with the guy playing his guitar- awesome! The vendors are fairly consistent and they each snuggle into their usual spots. I personally bee line to the Farmers' Daughter table for the whole wheat cranberry English muffins. I couldn't tell you the man's name, but he is an absolute gentle soul, always with a grin on his face. Actually, all the vendors seem to be happy to be there and that says a lot. I have heard from some vendors that they sometimes do trades with each other with their goods. How cool. "I will give you three mushrooms for a homemade whole wheat chocolate chip cookie!" Update: starting last year they started a lunch counter. The chef buys all her ingredients from the vendors and creates tasty sandwiches. Yum!
