I mportant Info

From Robin Chase of Chase Farm Bakery, our Manager:

Please remember to stay on the sidewalk and not step down into vendor space-this helps to maintain the necessary distance.

From Dan Sortwell, of Big Barn Coffee, our Treasurer :

We ask customers to pay vendors by cash or check rather than by using our token system – this reduces customer transaction times.

ONLY SNAP TOKENS will be issued this Saturday, April 18th. Our SNAP/token volunteers will be available to issue tokens from 9 am to 10:30 am

On April 25th, we go back to doing credit card swipes as well as SNAP card swipes.

You can still donate to support the SNAP match.

Good Morning

Thanks again for all your support and cooperation as we work to bring our best and freshest products each Saturday. it's heartwarming to watch the total teamwork that's going on to help each other eat well and stay healthy.

We work hard to bring you up to date info on our vendor availability and offerings, But this current situation is a mega example of one of my mantras:' Life is what happens when you're making plans"

Right now it is really helpful to our vendors if you order ahead whenever possible. Talk to them about this possibility.

Stay well, stay safe

Fresh butter & Raspberry Greek Yogurt at Chase Farm

Appleton has fresh goat's milk feta. and cows milk Camdenbert. Goat camdenbert is aging and also available soon and same for Granite Kiss.

AT Mainely Poultry , EGGS ARE BACK. A good sign. And their various chicken sausages offer fresh flavor well suited to soups and light sauces.

Hootenanny is proving it's ciabatta and buckwheat walnut breads are indeed food for the soul. That airy Ciabatta would have totally delighted my Italian dad, a true devotee of great crust.
Toss this feisty blue from Fuzzy Udder with roasted beets and fresh greens of choice from Goranson --great with the arugula.
Sparrow Farm has plenty pf frozen fresh cranberries- really versatile - and eggs; still some jams.too.

Goranson continue to stock our vegetable drawers with nice small beets, solid onions, so useful watermelon radish and a weekly expanding variety of great greens. They have more goodies including local meat and baked goods, at their farmstand. Go to www.goransonfarm.me
for directions and hours.

Fuzzy Udder has a good portion of it's carefully crafted repertoire available. Blue Vortex and Waldo Smog are both good right now.

Pine Tree Poultry and Oyster Creek Mushroom were still working out the kinks and may or may not be here.
Rhubarb Jam and fresh eggs from the pampered chickens at Sparrow Farm
Kelley Brothers is offering a nice range of roasts and other meats suitable for long braising with great veggies and grains - we all need comfort food - as well as burger in various forms and leanness; check it out.

Chase Farm has fresh raw milk with all that bonus cream on top right now, and that butter is a real treat. It just loves fresh bread and mashed potatoes.

The Old English Fish Pie was evoking a lot of interest at Pemaquid last week - check out their premade chowders as well-simple and true.

Stop at Beryl's for the comfort of well crafted sweets that make the moment special. Ginger cakes, blueberry lime glazed pound cake, shortbread cookies-the sirens of the market. Yes, the scones too.
