Happy Thanksgiving, local food lovers!

Place your order TODAY from Western Maine Market for pick-up or delivery this WEDNESDAY.
We will accept orders early Tuesday morning, but better to get your order in today.

We will not be delivering orders on Friday or Saturday this week. Our next ordering cycle will be for delivery on Friday the 6th of December.

Deliveries to Sugarloaf / Carrabassett and points north
.
We are extending our delivery route northward to Sugarloaf / Carrabassett / Stratton / Eustis on a trial basis for Thanksgiving week and the first & third weeks of December.

We offer free delivery to homes and businesses in Farmington, Kingfield, and along the route between those towns. For delivery north of Kingfield, there will be a delivery fee. We may be able to lower the fee per customer if there are enough orders to cover our transportation costs. Find Delivery Fees here for details, click the underlined number in the left column.

Delivery beyond our route may be available for a fee per mile of distance beyond the route. Contact Deborah at info@westernmainemarket.com or 860-0703 with any questions or to confirm availability. Please use Google Maps or similar to determine your distance from the closest point along our route. If you live 1/2 mile from Rte 27, for example, enter the quantity as 0.5.

We would like to offer service at least to Sugarloaf on a regular basis but can't commit to the longer route weekly without help. If you regularly travel from Kingfield to Sugarloaf or beyond on Friday afternoons and would consider carrying a cooler of food to drop off at a central location, and/or if you have a location where we could leave a cooler for self-service order pick-up, please contact Deborah at 207-860-0703 or info@westernmainemarket.com. We could offer you a percentage of sales or add on a delivery fee for you as needed - to help cover travel expenses if you are going anyway.
