   The Fort Fairfield Farmers’ Market Association (FFFMA) ends its first market season on Wednesday, October 12th, from 2-6 pm in downtown Fort Fairfield.  Come out and support your local farmers, food producers and crafters over their last 4 Wednesday afternoons. The market will have eggs, seasonal vegetables, herbs, flowers, fresh bread and baked goods, handmade jewelry, packaged and fresh brewed coffee.

   Market days have seen regular and new customers shop from a range of vendors. The FFFMA has eight members and has hosted three guest members. Pines Health Services and Healthy Aroostook joined the group and provided health and food information over the summer season. The association would like to thank all who have come out each Wednesday to support its members.

   The group will be celebrating its first year success with a potluck at Riverside Park in Fort Fairfield on Saturday, October 1st from 4:30 - 6:30 pm for members and any interested vendors considering joining the group next season.
