Sure sign of better weather and Spring and Summer here comes the opening of the outdoor Farmer’s Markets in the area.

It’s time. Whether it is in a city, or just a farmer at the entrance to the farm out in the country.

That is truly local shopping. And certainly farm fresh.

Bangor

We are in between seasons for Bangor’s Farmer’s Market which is held in the parking lot across from the Library. The winter was every second Sunday but that ended mid month. And Summer Seasons which are Sundays 11 a.m to 1 p.m. does not begin until May, so we are a day short and they’ll get going next weekend. By seasons peak there are dozens of farmer’s booths.
