Maine Farmers Markets

POSTED BY
Leah Ingram

April showers may bring May flowers (and mud season), but they also bring many Maine farmers markets. That is, many farmers markets and farm stands in the state open in May.

Of course, there are year-round farmers markets, including those that run through the winter.

Spring and summer Maine farmers markets

For now this article focuses on Maine farmers markets that open in spring, usually starting the first weekend of May. For 2023, that is Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7.

According to the Maine Federation of Farmers Markets, there are 115 farmers markets statewide that are open for the summer season. This includes the ones starting in May.

As far as Southern Maine goes, I found farmers markets in more than a dozen locations. Many open in May. Some opened in April. Others start in June.

Finally, they’re listed here in alphabetical order by name of the farmers market. Plus, I’ve included day or days of the week plus times.

After that section, I’ve included a roundup of farmers markets by day of the week.
