Maine Harvest Bucks Here for SNAP shopping

Maine Harvest Bucks are available to SNAP users, who receive a 100% match for any SNAP purchases to buy fruits, vegetables and vegetable seedlings. Pick up your SNAP tokens (green) at the info booth , and get the same amount in red tokens (Harvest Bucks) for your fresh fruits and veg. All at the info table, open 8:30 to 10. We'll keep you posted on any changes.

Vendor Payment

We no longer offer tokens to non SNAP credit and debit card users, but if you have leftover tokens you can use them. Most vendors have credit and debit card capacity . Bring cash, or a check, for the few who don't - small bills make it easier.

Good Morning

Yes it's August.

This year of the unexpected is moving along. But we can count on the harvest -- despite the drought. Things may be early or late, less or more than expected, but the well tended and loved earth continues to give back to our farmers and you. Let's celebrate them and each other.

Thanks for all the support in keeping the market safe. If you forget your mask, the SNAP volunteers have a small stash of donated ones they are willing to share. They are there til 10 am.

Last week was Open Farm Day but most producers are selling at their farms every day. Getting out and exploring a new road, a new farm, creamery, bakery, can do a lot for you and your loved ones. And help the economy as the health crisis goes on. Do I!

Take care and take it one day at a time.

Fresh slaws and salads easy to create with the very nice cabbages at Tarbox

From our vendors - Sales, Seasonal, Specials
New at Hahns End : Queso Fresco,a meltable easy slicer, dotted with 3 peppers, a real find for your Mexican dishes, and a wicked good grilled cheese- try it with a fresh tomato.

Jeff at Stewart & Reid (all gf) offers a whole grain Pan Complete baguette, ready .for the creamy butter from Chase Farms . Smear with that fresh orange marmalade from Alchimia for a summer breakfast.
Just a few baskets left at Mindful Gardens
Mindful Gardens has gorgeous cut flowers - common and rare, a trip down memory lane for many. Bouquets large or small and you can make your own too. Paradise for your senses. The baskets still going fast.

The big hit of the market last week were the surprise baby artichokes at Dharma Farm. Be aware: this is a fast moving item and deservedly
so; they taste wonderful; But babies grow and this week may be it. So its up with the birds and on the road..

Fresh Napa cabbage at Tarbox is a star in light summer salads; blueberries, tomatoes and snap peas look good. Don/t forget the beer.
Peppers at Groranson Farm available in a satisfying range of heat and color
It's berry season, so bolster your immune system and scare off seasonal allergies with Elderberry Tincture from Mana Medicinals.

Mark at Gracies would love to have your empty jars back:he's having trouble finding enough - all those people putting by for winter! Try his Daichi while you're there. Yum

Wild Chanterelles. Lobster and Hen of the Woods all starred in last week's Oyster Creek Show . Their weekly mixes are a great adventure and an education in what's good when! So hard to decide:I always want them all.
Spring for the spring rolls at Jyang_Lee -refreshing in this beyond balmy weather

Tammy at Kelley Brothers is happy to talk to you about individualized beef packages-personalize it with her so you get what you want and use.

Savory lunch tarts at Beryls are a true summer treat. Last weeks tomato and with goat cheese and herbs tasted as good as it looked. See what she brings in this week - another early vist.

What's better than a glazed doughnut? A glazed doughnut stick! At Chase Farm . Alas, no more jelly donuts til cooler weather> but try the sweet or savory pastries.
