Carrabassett Valley & Stratton Deliveries

We'll be delivering to Carrabassett Valley and Stratton this week and again two weeks from now, on the 4th of July. Carrabassett Valley Public Library and Stratton's Spillover Motel join our weekly list of pick-up options in Farmington, Kingfield, & Freeman.

We will offer delivery to Salem, Phillips, and Avon next week, and on the second and fourth Fridays of the month. Many of our pick-up locations are self-service, meaning you can easily pick up after business hours.

This week, orders can be delivered to homes and businesses anywhere along Route 27 from Farmington to Stratton. Delivery beyond our route may be available with a fee based on your distance from Route 27. For more info: info@westernmainemarket.com or 207-860-0703.

NORHTERN CUSTOMERS - PLEASE NOTE

The fee to transport orders north of Kingfield ($5 to Carrabassett, $7 to Stratton) is not automatically added to your order total. If you choose to prepay with PayPal or credit card, please manually add the fee to your payment either by clicking the link in the table at the bottom of this newsletter or, on our website, by clicking "Delivery Service" from the "Extra" menu below the Food & other menus on the left side. Thank you!
We drive out of our way 30 miles round trip to deliver to Carrabassett Valley and forty-four miles to deliver to Stratton. We can only continue to offer this service if our northern customers are willing to pitch in a bit to help cover that cost.
