FILL YOUR BASKET AT A FARMERS’ MARKET
Bright, colorful signs advertise the freshest corn you’ve ever had, an apple that bites back, brilliantly hued pumpkins of
a thousand shapes and sizes. This is the story of roadside agriculture and farmers’ markets in Maine. So when you are out
on the road, keep your eyes peeled — you may just come across a pile of heirloom tomatoes stacked high and priced to sell
on the honor system. Or perhaps you might stop in and meet the hens that just hatched tomorrow’s omelete.
The list below shows you’d be hard-pressed to miss a farmers’ market across our region. Each has its own flair and appeal.
All offer the finest and the freshest from hardworking farmers throughout Maine’s Kennebec Valley.
