New Vendor
Uprooted LLC
Uprooted LLC is a new market member this year whose operation is on an historic 45-acre farm in Starks. This season they are cultivating intensively yet sustainably for farmers' markets, CSA boxes, and wholesale customers. Their primary focus is on bringing high quality, just-harvested produce to market.
Sterling Doiron & Patrick Clohessy, Co-Founders
VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS
Our Story
Why are we Uprooted? Sterling and Patrick met while serving in the military - uprooting and moving wherever the Air Force sent them. In 2020, they traded in their boots for beets. Patrick made the decision to uproot and drive more than 2,700 miles to Maine to start an agribusiness with Sterling, a Maine native. As a result, Uprooted was born.

Aronia Berries picked fresh on August 2nd & frozen
Menu Group: Food
Section: Fruits and Berries
Vendor: Whitehill Farm
.
picked fresh on August 2nd and frozen for smoothies or pies!Aronia, also known as Chokeberry, is native to N. America and thrives in our area! The shrubs are decorative, sturdy, virtually disease free and not attractive to insect pests. The flavor of aronia is rich and robust and similar to the flavor of black currants. Makes a good addition to smoothies, and for jams, jellies, and pies (recipe included)!
Aronia is rich in antioxidants, matching or exceeding the medicinal value of elderberries. Historically Native Americans used aronia to fight infections. The black berries and their juice will stain so protecting surfaces is essential!
