Find the farmers' market nearest you to enjoy great-tasting food and support the local economy

Sunday, August 4, to Saturday, August 10, is National Farmers Market Week.  In Maine, we are lucky to have dozens of markets around the state where local farmers can sell healthy foods and products directly to consumers.  The markets not only offer tasty food, but a fun experience and the satisfaction of seeing exactly who is producing what you and your family eat.   To find the market nearest you, go to http://www.mainefarmersmarkets.org/shoppers/
