You can find this farmers market running every Saturday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm from May to October. I have been meaning to check it out for awhile now. Due to a couple of reasons, first being checking out all of the different vendors and seeing what they had to offer. Secondly was for one vendor specifically. That being Milkweed Coffee Roasters as they don't have a brick and mortar location and have enjoyed their coffee beans. They are located in Buxton and 100% worth checking out currently at this farmers market every weekend. Although I did overhear one of the owners mentioning they are working on opening up a spot in Buxton that used to be Oak & Ember as a special little insider tip!
Speaking of them they just dropped their fall drinks and my wife enjoyed a pumpkin spice latte made by them and I grabbed a dirty chai. Both were absolutely phenomenal and both the owners were very friendly and greeted everyone with a smile. Besides this coffee roaster though they had plenty of other vendors. We also ended up picking up some local made teas from Spirit Brook Farm located in Limington. Yet to try them but excited for both the blueberry and lemon teas.
Other vendors included some local farms with plenty of produce as you'd expect the most common at a farmers market. Otherwise they had someone who made products with alpaca fur, a spot with goat milk soaps (Noisy Acres Farm), and even The Milk Bottle who make cocktail and mocktail mixers (from South Portland). I would say it was significantly smaller than Portland farmers market but it had a great atmosphere and all the vendors were friendly. Definitely worth a visit, especially for a coffee or chai from Milkweed Coffee Roasters! read more
