Stopped in at the end of strawberry picking season. I felt for them as there were lots and lots of…read morestrawberries that had molded from drenching rain followed by excessive heat. On the other hand, we were able to pick through and find a hearty bundle to take home. We stopped in at the farm store, but the checkout line was LONG, like maybe a 30 minute wait long, so we cut out to return another day. On the way out there was a table of Free flowering garden plants!!!

A little way off the main roads of Cape Elizabeth in the right season.... You can find some local…read moreproduce right here. Lovely wines, jams and even salsa and syrup are also available. Really though, the locals come here for fresh local produce like peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and oh yeah, blueberries! If you need some floral decor, $4.50 pays for a bouquet that you find, pick and cut yourself. Lovely! Prices are fair for the beautiful produce here. They also have some frozen pies, pizza dough and dairy items/ eggs. Great selection of veggies!

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.

This is a smaller (but growing in number of vendors) farmers market easily found off route-1 and in…read moretown hall parking lot of the town of Scarborough. 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!

Nice little farmers market. Usually there's only about eight vendors. The herbalist booth has a…read morenice display of soaps. I buy her arnica rub and it really works for sore muscles. I also really like her face oil. There are two produce booths, Italian cookie lady, granola and hand sewn items by the crafting Scott, meat, eggs, home made English muffins and sauces available. There's always plenty of parking.

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.

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.
