Farmington Farmers' Market Moves Outdoors

This Saturday the 26th, the Farmington Farmers' Market will move to its summer location - outdoors at the district courthouse parking lot, at 129 Main Street, 10am-1pm. This will also be the new Saturday morning pick-up location for Western Maine Market orders.

Next week, on the 2nd of May, the Friday market will open for the season, next to the Better Living Center at 181 Front Street, 10am-1pm. Western Maine Market orders will be available for pick-up there 11 am-1 pm.

The Fiddlehead Festival, on the southern side UMF's campus, will host many of the farmers' market vendors on Saturday the 3rd of May, 10-3 - and serve as WMM pick-up location.

WMM deliveries will be about two hours later for the summer season than they have been for the winter, starting around 2 pm in Farmington and closer to 4 at the northern & western ends of the route.
