We also bought an apple cider donut and an apple hand pie. Both were so good! We were staying in downtown Portland and drove out towards Freeport to check out a few things, which is when we swung by here. It's worth driving out of your way for if you like apples and apple treats!

My first time here, needing some apples as well as a craving for cider donuts…read more Roadside stand versus an actual orchard was different but I had read that. Very neat little stand and cashier very nice, but for the life if me I couldn't figure why the apples were only in small half peck bags. I ended up buying 3 small bags at a ridiculous price of $13.50 each. Didn't count the apples in each bag but guessing 7-8. Three small bags for $40.50 ? Ouch. My craving for cider donuts went away after spending $9.50 for a lousy "on the shelf" 4 donuts. I know the weather has been strange this year, but I'm guessing no one in Maine charges more for apples and donuts. You wont find me there again.

This market is my favorite, to loosely quote Goldilocks states, it's not too big, not too small,…read moreit's just right. They have LOCAL vendors that represent most farmer's market categories: fruits, vegetables, flowers, milk, cheese, eggs, meats AND, there are things like breads, cakes, cookies, pies, pasta, empanadas. I have also seen, masks and other hand sewn items. My favorite vendor is SPUN Baking. I always run to his booth first - Cinnamon Rolls, Scones, Jams, Babka- You can also order special things in advance of the market - check out his website. Parking can be a challenge as it is shared with the town, police and nearby sports fields. Luckily people don't tend to hang out too long because the market isn't too big. Most vendors accept credit cards.

Given that it's a farm stand and not the location of an actual farm, we were impressed with the selection. During our last visit, they had everything from fresh flowers and cocktail mixers to baked goods and produce. We've tried their cookies, mac and cheese, and produce, and it's never disappointed. Seriously, their peanut butter cookies are to die for the perfect level of sweetness. Also, their onion relish has become a staple in our house.

We stopped here yesterday as we were looking for corn on the cob to have with dinner. The corn was…read morefresh and sold for $.60 an each or $6.00 a dozen ears. Also we got tomatoes they were beautiful nice and red but still firm. Also available was assorted pies including pot pie. They had a locally made salsa made with blueberry. That might be overkill and I don't know how it will travel in my suitcase home. Also they had the last remains of the Summer flowers. Now being late July it would be too late to plant as there is not too much warm days left if there was any really to begin with. This place is a must stop to buy your fruit and vegetables. If I lived close by it would be my regular stop. I waited to write my review until I tasted what we purchased and everything was delicious.

The kids and adults were so respectful and gentle, as guided by the workers. There were a few trails to explore, keep in mind there is a lot of sun exposure, so prepare accordingly. We didn't get a chance to go into the new building, but we spent time exploring and then walked up a ways to the "camp store". I bought a beautifully made necklace by a local artist. We loved the fact they have designated parking AND an EV charger we could use.

Easy parking nearby - even some near EV Car chargers…read more The offerings were great from baked goods, to fresh fruits and veggies and meat and eggs and a few Italian and Mediterranean food options. Every vendor we walked by, said hello and seemed warm and friendly. The area was set up near the main walkway, which was nice - very tidy and organized. There were a lot of different patrons, young and old and everyone seemed so happy and engaged with the vendors. I can't believe it's taken me YEARS to finally visit. I will definitely return, if I can get out of work in time. That's the only downside, they are only set up until 6pm on Thursdays.

They do have parking in the back. I didn't see the sign for that from the street, but I was able to find street parking just past the market place. As I was leaving I saw the clam mascot, and I had to get a picture! I can't wait for the Yarmouth Clam Festival, it's literally the reason why I came to Maine from Austin, Texas.

I have been driving by this location every week and have always wanted to stop. I finally was…read moremotivated to stop when a great friend of mine bought me a gift card for my birthday! I decided to stop in and order take out. There were a lot of call-in tickets ahead of me and a few tables already waiting for their orders. She let me know it would be about 30 minutes. No problem. I was able to look over everything while waiting before settling into a very comfy leather chair right next to the door. Great vantage point to see all of the amazing treats they sell. They have donuts, scones, muffins, turnovers and dozens of fudge flavors!! I ordered a couple of donuts to go along with a blueberry turnover. SO GOOD!!! The donuts were perfectly fluffy and sweet and the turnover, flakey fruity and perfect! Great - fresh made to order breakfast sandwiches on a biscuit. They are satisfying - so tasty and filling! They are hearty. The couple that owns and runs this business are down to earth and authentic. I loved listening to them work together, it made me laugh when they had a disagreement, she apologized when I went to pick up and pay for my order. I told her, no need, it was like I was at a family home with real people having real conversations. I highly recommend this business and I look forward to using up the rest of my gift card and once that is done, I will be back for more yummy food.

This cafe/bakery offers a great selection of pastries, bagels, donuts, pies, and many other treats…read more They offer breakfast sandwiches, and a limited menu of lunch items...which you'll need to stop in and read the menu of blackboard for what they have on any given day. The selection of homemade fudge is truly the broadest I've seen anywhere. They offer a both traditional flavors, and interesting more unique flavors as well. Check out the photos. They also have a refrigerator sections with slices of pies, macaroons, and other treats all packed and ready to go. The service is very friendly, and it feels like you're stepping into a neighborhood shop where everyone knows each other...very welcoming vibe. The day me and my family stopped in, we were hungry for breakfast. We tried the pumpkin spice crumble muffin, the bacon/egg/cheddar on a croissant sandwich, and a cinnamon maple something pastry. All of it was DELICIOUS! All very fresh and made with love. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've had...the bacon and cheese was high quality, and the flavors blended so beautifully. There are a few things tables, and a couple of comfy chairs for eating in. We will definitely go back.

This rating is specific to the Deli which I've NEVER had a good experience with. Only reason we…read morereturn is for Boars Head meats which can't be found anywhere else. For starters, they won't permit you to pre-order over the phone and direct you to the app, which also die NOT have an option to order deli meats. When you arrive at the deli, there are typically 4-6 employees standing behind the counter and not one of them will bother to acknowledge your presence. Certainly never any niceties. Instead, you'll find them shooting the shit tucked in the corner snacking on deli meats and cheeses. After multiple minutes waiting, One will come and ask if you've been helped because it's not obvious enough that I'm standing there alone, staring at them and no one has lifted a finger. This deli has to be the penalty box for Bow St workers because they all act like they're in a cage waiting to be let out and want absolutely NOTHING to do with patrons. They'll literally let meat roll off the slicer into a bag that ultimately falls apart when trying to remove a slice. Today, I got home to find a half pound of turkey ends. These guys clearly intentionally try to ruin days. Owners, PAY ATTENTION. This is on YOU.

They have a wonderful selection of meat in different forms, something for every recipe just about.
