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!

BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE…read more.. Have been wanting to check out this place for awhile. They sell plants and flowers along with an assortment of seafood. I stopped in to get some clams. He told me he had some clams that were just dug yesterday. He put the 5 lb bag on the counter all wrapped up and I promptly unwrapped the bag to check out the freshness of the clams. As I touched clam necks that were stuck out, there was no response from the clam necks. I told him these clams are dead. In response to me he said they're not dead as he drove his hand into the bag and pulled out a handful of clams, then shoved them back in the bag. I said that means nothing, you have to see by touching the clam neck to check for a response, if none they're dead. He told me to get out of his shop and don't come back...NOT A PROBLEM!!!!

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.

Yes; more than you might realize. + Unique vegan items you won't find at box stores? Yes! I always find at least one thing I have never seen before like a dip or an ice cream. + Lots of locally made goodies you won't find literally anywhere else? YES! + Ready made sandwiches and meals that cater to a host of dietary restrictions? Yeah, and I'm gonna need to go and try just about every one of those plant-based wraps. + The option to buy a neighbor-in-need a breakfast sandwich and coffee when you're checking out? Yes, yes, yes, this, this, this. The Co-Op is not a place I'd do my big shop at, but if I'm looking for something specific/to try something new/a quick lunch option/to support small local businesses that only have their stuff at local food stores like this? It's a good spot to visit if you haven't in a while!

I actually thought it was a homeless place for people to get food cheap, until I got inside and realized it was Farms from the local area that bring your food so people can buy it.. I do think it's a great idea and we bought some potato chips and I did get some oranges. My husband and I think things here are quite expensive. I have bought a lot of their things from some of these farms from different supermarkets and their farms and they weren't as much money.. I really don't know how people can avoid some stuff in here.

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.
