"Just give him some wood and he'll build you a cabinet"…read more(Beastie Boys) One of the best parts of wandering through a farmer's market is discovering the incredible craft bakeries and home kitchen creations that talented, entrepreneurial chefs are cooking up. And we sure found a good one at the Kennebunkport Farmer's Market when we had the good fortune to visit Cassie's Canning Cabinet. I cannot resist purchasing a jar of homemade salsa at a Farmer's Market, so that easily explains why I picked up a 16-ounce jar of Cassie's Habanero Salsa. I had it with lunch today and am pleased to report that it packs quite a wallop in the old heat department. I loved it. Cassie's product line is available at farms and markets in Maine, and via their website. Her products include pickles, relishes, quite a few pickled vegetables, salsa and chutneys. Cassie sure did right by us!

Overall, it's worth a visit for some unique grocery items.

Stonewall Kitchens (York), Flo's (Cape Neddick), Above the Dam (Dayton), Kennebunkport Sauce Co. (KPort), Jack's Gourmet (North Monmouth), Captain Mowatt's (Portland)... you'll find 'em all here. There's also the infamous wall of hot sauce. We spent quite a while reading through some of the names, which included: - Ass Blaster - Colon Blow - Butt Pucker - Satan's Blood - I Am Sofa King Stew Ped - Queen of Farts - See Dick Burn - See Jane On Fire - See Spot In Heat - Sir Fartalot Oh, yes. There was laughing. Absolutely stop here if you're in Kennebunkport to see this. Not just for the schoolyard giggles, but because there really were a plethora of options to choose from (it's only August [as I write this], but I'm already feeling the stocking stuffer inspiration!). There was even a hot sauce that looked just like water... I can only imagine this would cause me serious heartburn. And yet, I'm intrigued. The only thing that kind of bummed us out was that when we showed up at 5pm, the woman working the store was cleaning up all the tasting stations. When we asked her if we should leave because it looked like she was closing up for the day, she said no - she'd be open for several more hours - she just didn't want the tasting stations out anymore. Huge mistake. We are girls who like to shop and probably would have ended up purchasing goods (as a matter of fact, at one point I had banana ketchup [which, mark my words, I am buying for my dad for Christmas], chili lime sauce [by my favorite, Cholula], and onion jam [by Stonewall, of course] in my hand that I ended up putting away because of the icy exterior emanating from the woman working) if we had had the chance to try them.

What an excellent time we had. While chatting with their 30 or so vendors, we both remarked how downright friendly everyone was! They were welcoming, charming, conversational and just plain nice to be around. Their vendors sold a variety of vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruit, cider, meats and poultry, teas, soap and skincare items, maple syrup, jams, cookies, pastries, granola, mushrooms, blueberry wine, almond milk, pickles, relishes, CBD infused seltzers, and Columbian street food. Pretty excellent lineup, don't you agree? We made purchases from three of the friendliest vendors we ever met. We started with a lemon and orange-cranberry cookie and a whoopie pie from the 3 Sisters bakery, a jar of Habanero Salsa from Cassie's Cabinet, and a can of Blueberry wine from Bluet. The market has a special feature we've never seen in the dozens of farmer's markets we've visited over the years, and we are grateful to the gent from Cassie's Cabinet for telling us about it. Every vendor at the market has a roll of tickets over their canopy, and whenever a customer buys something, well... you get a ticket. There is a prize board on the grounds with a list of the pre-selected winning numbers, so you simply check the board after your final purchase and see if you have one of the winning tickets. Winners get a gift certificate! None of our three tickets was a winner, but it was still plenty of fun to play along. We had a wonderful visit. PRO TIP The Kennebunk Farmer's Market is open on Saturdays from 8am - 12:30pm, May to November rain or shine
