Good Morning
a truly glorious Maine spring is here at last, tho typically, a little chillier than the promise of all that color. So remember your sweater as you roll out for your market adventure.
We are happy and grateful for your collaborative adaptation to changes made to ensure we are as healthy as the food we sell!
It's a pleasure to shop right now, so much to choose from. I get greedy, especially at the sight of spring radishes, watercress, fresh ground cornmeal, new pickles, creamy new cheeses.
For all of you starting gardens, we have a riot of color and taste in the many varieties of vegetable herb and flower seedlings right now. Find a cardboard (or other) flat or 2 and indulge in this annual rite of spring. So many choices, so make a plan!
Savor every moment of this brief but beautiful season. Visit our vendors farm stands - the countryside is lovely right now.

Crunchy Granola at Pleasant Pond Orchards
|
From our vendors
-
Sales, Seasonal, Specials
Please order by 3 on Thursday.".
Delicious crunchy granola at
Pleasant Pond Orchard
is ready to brighten your morning - toasty nutty and not too sweet, Good for snacks too as you wander in the woods.
The great thing about those molasses donuts from
Chase Farm
is that if you keep them in a breadbox in their little bag they stay moist and totally awesome with coffee-try the medium roast from Big Barn - for days. Savor each bite.

Granite Kiss coming in logs this week, & more labneh too. At Appleton Creamery
Ali at
Alchimia
is happy to sort out cooking times for her pasta with you. Try her flavored ones, the tomato, spinach. Go for the chocolate when it shows up for an unexpectedly earthy flavor that compliments creamy sauces and a lighter sausage..

First spring radishes - French breakfast - showed up at
