The red leaf lettuce we bought had been cleaned, wrapped in damp paper towel and placed in a plastic bag. It was ready to serve and was superb. The cucumbers were sublime. This place is just past the scenic Cribstone bridge, on the left as you head to Land's End on Bailey Island. The best produce available within 15 miles.

It was and is wonderful. To support local farmers and great fresh food. So glad they are near.read more

I absolutely love this farmers' market! Tucked away down…read morePleasant Hill road which side note if you are a road biker you do not regard it as pleasant. 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.

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.

Great little market in the center of town. 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.

What a cute farmers market. I'm so happy that I came today. A lot of fresh produce, and some home…read moremade items. It is small but I'm so happy I was able to experience it. 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.

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.

Lots to choose from without feeling crowded and most tables accept card as well as cash so it's quite convenient. I've also heard you can use food stamps here which is pretty cool.

Every Tuesday and Friday on the green in Brunswick, and Saturday at Crystal Spring Farm. This week…read moreI visited on a chilly early May Friday. Found some delicious treats and said hello to all the farmers that I haven't seen since last fall. I love this place. The farmers and vendors are always so kind and helpful and there to answer any questions you might have. Having the market in this spot, is nice because it's a beautiful park so lush and green! Plus you can grab lunch at a variety of local food trucks.

Located in the main outlet shopping area, this store sells locally-produced merchandise and crafts from 20-25 vendors. You'll find everything from t-shirts to books to syrup to soap, as well as my personal favorite, Christmas ornaments. Every vacation , I buy a Christmas ornament, and with so many booths in this market, I found several to choose from and left with a cute lobster ornament. The crafts here are unique and much better than what you'll find in the airport or some of the stores in nearby Portland. I'm glad we found it on our first day and I got my shopping knocked out early in our trip!

If you have visited the Auburn Mall, there is a store that allows local artists, crafters and…read moreentrepreneurs the opportunity to rent a small space within the store to sell their items. It's sort of like Etsy, but in a brick and mortar form. The Freeport Market is exactly the same concept where locals can rent space and display their items for sale. I forgot to mention all the items are "Maine Made" which I believe has to be requirement. I didn't speak with any staff so I can't speak to the customer service. You don't see them walking around much, but standing near the counter. The value for the items will vary as the renter sets the price for their items. Some look for a premium price on their items, other's look for a reasonable price understanding what the market says for those types of items. If you are looking for Maine made items and willing to pay a premium price on them, this store is for you, but you can typically get the items cheaper through their website or at a local craft fair.

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.

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!
