FORT FAIRFIELD, Maine – The newly formed Fort Fairfield Farmer’s Market Association (FFFMA) begins its first market season on Wednesday, May 18th, from 2 - 6 pm in downtown Fort Fairfield on a town-owned lot between Katahdin Trust Bank and Acadia Medical Supply.  Signs will be posted at the intersection of Presque Isle and Main Streets to direct you to the downtown lot. 

   The market is hoping to make your afternoon midweek shopping a little more interesting by offering a variety of local farm products. The mid-week market will have pork products, eggs, seasonal vegetables, herbs, flowers, bedding plants, fresh bread and baked goods, handmade jewelry, packaged and fresh brewed coffee from ten vendors.   FFFMA will be open every Wednesday, 2-6 pm from mid-May to mid-October.  Make a Wednesday afternoon stop to downtown Fort Fairfield and support your local small farmers and vendors.

   FFFMA is looking for additional interested farm and arts and crafts vendors with locally produced and handcrafted items to join their ranks.  Full membership is $50 for the entire season.  Interested vendors can contact Deena Albert Parks, 615-4144 or Kate Schupbach 472-6009, Market Managers or send an email to fortsfarmersmarket@gmail.com for more information.
