This review is for late-season strawberry picking. I went on Saturday to pick strawberries at…read moreJordan's Farm early in the morning and was pleasantly surprised at how many people were already out! I found the strawberry patch easily with their directions and some very helpful employees gave me the rundown on how to pick. I grabbed my pint container and set to work in my row, and within 15 minutes I had filled it with super sweet, perfectly ripe berries. The price was fair, and I ended up making some delicious jam with my haul! I know strawb season is over now but next year I will be back!

We love seeing the chickens, pigs, goats, cows, and we're lucky to get to see the donkey they had around Christmas. The food from the cafe is delicious. Great bagels, chili, sandwiches, pizza. Everything we've had is great. If it's super busy the food can take a while, but be patient! It's great food done well. Love this local family run place! We'll be back often.

Here you can usually find what you need for your produce needs between two to three vendors that primarily do produce. Since it's small you don't always have the most choice to "shop around" on costs, but it's all fresh! Other tents have gourmet jams, loose leaf tea, breads/baked goods, pasta sauce and maple products, meat, beauty products/soap and fresh cut flowers among other things you can usually find as well. One thing that I can't find here that disappoints me is any delicious local cheese or other dairy products so don't count on finding that. Bottom line: worth stopping by to support local and get some good stuff!

Every time I'm in Gorham, I make a point to stop by Findview Farm for some of the freshest local…read moreproduce. It's a working farm with a small but impressive stand, where they sell their own produce along with products from other local farms -- think hot sauces and pickled veggies. They don't just sell veggies, either; they've got their own meat, eggs, and milk! I haven't tried the meat yet, but their eggs are fantastic. The prices are super reasonable. I just picked up two winter squashes and a pound of potatoes for under $5. You wouldn't guess this place is only 7 minutes from Gorham's Main Street -- it's like a hidden little gem.

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.

One strange- 1st drive up a long road through old farm equipment, pot holes, raggedy chickens, and fields, w the huge sign "slow down. No. Not slow enough!" But finally we arrived. Perfect Maine blueberries, zucchini, tomatoes, corn, and fresh herbs. I found the prices average & the produce consistently fresh. Customer service? Um, well let's just say typical born & breed Mainer style. Nice enough. Best string beans ever. I made a nice salad; blanched them, then ice bath, finished in a Dijon vinaigrette, w summer tomatoes, and 2 days later they were still delicious w great snap!

You can find this farmers market running every Saturday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm from May to…read moreOctober. 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!
