Farmington's Winter Market starts next week
.
The Farmington Farmers’ Market will move indoors to its winter location at the St. Joseph Center, 130 Quebec Street, starting on Saturday the 5th of November. The winter market will be held Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., November through April.

The market accepts SNAP/EBT as well as credit and debit cards. Stretch your SNAP benefits with Maine Harvest Bucks, good for the purchase of fruits and vegetables. Get $1 in Maine Harvest Bucks for every $2 spent in SNAP benefits, plus an additional $10 just for using your SNAP benefits at the farmers’ market.

Farmington Farmers’ Market welcomes applications from new vendors. Please apply online at forms.gle/6ppYAkSTpoMWAroRA, leave a message on our Facebook page, and/or contact market manager Erica Haywood at erica@lovegrownhealing.com or 778-1181.

Farmington’s outdoors farmers’ markets continue through this last week of October and will resume in May:
• Fridays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., across from the Better Living Center, 198 Front Street.
• Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon, District Court house parking lot, 129 Main Street.

The market will adhere to Maine CDC’s COVID-19 guidelines based on Franklin’s Country’s current level of community transmission.

Western Maine Market will continue to offer order pick-up Fridays on Front Street, next to the Better Living Center, with abbreviated hours starting next week. We have the option to move into the Grange hall and may do so in foul weather; but last winter we did manage to stay outdoors year-round. The winter market Saturday will replace the outdoor Saturday market in the list of pick-up and delivery options, and other pick-up and delivery options will remain unchanged.
