Farmers Markets, they’re not just for summer anymore.
VisitMaine tells us that nearly 20 Maine communities will feature farmers markets during the winter, including Bangor, Brunswick, Gardiner, Orono, Portland and York. Depending upon the market, you’ll be able to purchase items like carrots, beets, meat, milk, bread, cheeses, pastries and handmade items.
From former textile mills to modern conference center settings, we highly recommend you support local business through these Maine winter farmers markets. Farmers Markets are also, generally, a budget-friendly activity. Shop local, buy local we say!
Winter Farmers’ Markets: Greenhouses, former textile mills, a conference center and local businesses become the setting for several Maine farmers’ markets during the winter months. Markets in nearly 20 communities from York to Portland, Brunswick, Gardiner, Waterville, Orono and Bangor sell storage crops like carrots and beets along with greenhouse-grown vegetables of all kinds, meat, milk, bread and pastries, canned foods, cheeses and handmade items.http://thesunriseguide.com/winter-farmers-markets-in-maine/http://www.mofga.org/Publications/MaineOrganicFarmerGardener/Fall2009/WinterFarmersMarketsandCSAs/tabid/1260/Default.aspx
