Maine Farmer’s Markets Roll on Into Fall

We are so lucky in Maine to have so much fresh produce.  It’s everywhere.

And you don’t have to travel far to get it. And it is great to support the local farmers.

Many communities hold Farmers Markets where the farmer brings the goods to you.

Here are a few Farmers Markets in Eastern Maine you might want to check out.

And these don’t include the local farms that are selling direct to you by you stopping by their farm. These are only the community held farmers markets that farmers attend to sell you their produce. And also baked goods and other items.
