More than a hundred farmers’ markets across the state offer fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats directly from Maine farms to residents and tourists alike. The Maine Federation of Farmers’ Markets (MFFM), the statewide organization that helps sustain Maine farms, is reminding Maine residents that Maine Farmers’ Market Week will be celebrated Aug. 7-13 this year in conjunction with National Farmers’ Market Week.
The week will be marked by special events, live music, tastings, children’s activities, gifts for market shoppers, and a statewide photo contest. The contest is a chance for shoppers to post photos of their favorite foods and farmers. Prizes include market gift certificates and tickets to the Common Ground Country Fair in September.
Some of the markets also accept SNAP and WIC benefits. To see the complete list of farmers’ markets across the state as well as those that accept SNAP and WIC, visit the Federation’s website.
