Western Maine Market Newsletter


Greetings, local food lovers!
.
Place your order today from Western Maine Market for pick-up or delivery this Friday or Saturday.

.
Food Demo at the Farmers' Market!
.
Ashley Montgomery will offer food demos and free samples at this Saturday's Farmington farmers' market.
Once again this week, find the Saturday market between Java Joe's and the brick COUNTY courthouse on Main Street - across from, and within sight of, the usual location.

This is the final weekend outdoors for Farmington Farmers' Market:
Friday on Front Street, next to the Better Living Center, 10-1.
Saturday on Main Street, next to Java Joe's 9-noon.

Starting in November, Farmington Farmers' Market will be Saturdays only, indoors at 130 Quebec Street (St. Joseph Center.)

There will be only minor changes to Western Maine Market's schedule - most orders will be available earlier in the day on Fridays, and the time frame for pick-up on Front Street in Farmington will be shorter.
