There are a number of eager employees to help get your tree ready to take home and loaded, too. Inside, you'll find employees who will help you design custom wreaths,too. In the market, there is a well stocked fish counter and lobsterpound, too. Aside from that, there are fresh veggies and a huge stock of fresh baked goodies. The employees were all super nice, too. This will be the place we get our tree from now on!

Yes; more than you might realize. + Unique vegan items you won't find at box stores? Yes! I always find at least one thing I have never seen before like a dip or an ice cream. + Lots of locally made goodies you won't find literally anywhere else? YES! + Ready made sandwiches and meals that cater to a host of dietary restrictions? Yeah, and I'm gonna need to go and try just about every one of those plant-based wraps. + The option to buy a neighbor-in-need a breakfast sandwich and coffee when you're checking out? Yes, yes, yes, this, this, this. The Co-Op is not a place I'd do my big shop at, but if I'm looking for something specific/to try something new/a quick lunch option/to support small local businesses that only have their stuff at local food stores like this? It's a good spot to visit if you haven't in a while!

I actually thought it was a homeless place for people to get food cheap, until I got inside and realized it was Farms from the local area that bring your food so people can buy it.. I do think it's a great idea and we bought some potato chips and I did get some oranges. My husband and I think things here are quite expensive. I have bought a lot of their things from some of these farms from different supermarkets and their farms and they weren't as much money.. I really don't know how people can avoid some stuff in here.

The salad bar area was dirty and some of the sections needed attention. I waited at the counter to buy desserts and I was just looked at a few times and not helped. Finally a young man making sandwiches noticed me and got the attention of an older guy who was cutting up some meat. He had looked at me a couple of times, but never helped me until the young man motioned for him to. There was virtually no one in there. So, not because it was busy.

It's been a decade plus since my original review, so I thought I'd update it!…read more Since then the PFM on Wednesdays is now *also* located in the picturesque (and much easier to park in) Deering Oaks from mid April to late November, 7am to 1pm (while the winter market takes place only on Saturdays inside on Stevens Ave from early December to early April, 9am to 1pm). From the Portland Farmers Market: " Featuring over 30+ Maine farmers. From artichokes to zucchini, if you can grow it here, you'll probably find it IN season and fresh! Also eggs, meat, cheese, milk, ferments, flowers, fibers, honey, and more! Farm products exclusively." Yes, it is all things local in beautiful abundance! I like that many of the vendors are the same from Saturday to Wednesday; but there's just something slightly more lowkey about the Wednesday market. It's a smaller crowd, a more relaxed vibe, the vendors are unhurried and have more space to chat, and it seems like more locals are intentionally out to shop/support their local farmer. I usually know exactly what I want when I come here, but it's nice to be able to slow down and take time to really look around without being bumped into/having to worry about something selling out.

Just look at that gorgeous haul from today's farmers' market here in Portland! Cute tiny tomatoes…read moreand big juicy ones of different colors and varieties; eggplants; cabbage; garlic and shallots, and something called torpedo onions; tons of peppers, both to eat raw in salads and cook with (check out those purple ones!); super-fresh summer corn; herbs and flowers; dill pickles. I also snagged some blueberries and radish microgreens. I'll be eating verrrryyyyy well for the next several days, that's for sure. While you'll find a larger selection at the bigger Saturday market, when it's peak produce season like it is now the tables will be overflowing with goodness on Wednesdays, too. And it's just a bit mellower, and always easy to find a place to park. All of the vendors are happy to talk with you about what they're selling and I enjoy that as much as everything I bring home! Practicalities: bring cash, because even though several vendors do take cards, not all of them do and there's usually a $10 minimum. Plus, cash enables you to spend a few bucks at several different tables if you want to (I mean, why not try a tomato or two from each?). And bring your tote bags to load up, to save on having to use any plastic or paper (which most vendors do have in some form). Most of all, just enjoy strolling through the park and seeing all the bounty on offer, and know you're supporting Maine farmers by buying local.

While there is more of a selection here for me, I wish the pre-made items had better labeling. I can't buy any of the baked goods because the labeling is insufficient. The produce selection is limited, but when I'm here I try to pick something up because I love buying local when I can. Some plusses is that Lois carries safe eggs and yogurt for me. It's the only place I've found safe eggs in the local area, so that makes me happy. On Mondays and Thursdays they usually have bread delivered from bread and friends in Portland, which is great. Wednesdays they do a senior discount. Due to the small size and selection, I usually have to go to another store to finish my shopping when I come here. But I'm happy it's here and am a consistent repeat customer.
