Western Maine Market will operate as usual next week: place your order on Wednesday the 20th of November to receive it Friday the 22nd or Saturday the 23rd.

For Thanksgiving week, we often move up the schedule: order on Monday to receive your order the day BEFORE Thanksgiving instead of afterward. We're asking our regular customers to let us know their preferences. Would you like to receive food from us the day before Thanksgiving, stick to the usual schedule, or do you plan not to order that week? Please click the link in blue to complete a very brief survey to let us know your preference:

Vendor: Rasmussen Farm
A delicious, raw cranberry relish chock full of vitamin C! Made with cranberries, apples from Hemlock Hill Farm, clementines, and sugar. All raw. We make it tart, with half the sugar called for in the original recipe, but you can easily stir in extra sugar if you prefer it sweeter. We grab a fork and eat it by itself, straight from the container. So yummy!
