Gail, Same as Meadow Ridge Per Farm. I sell bulb flowers, perennials, herbs (potted and some cut) and greens. In May we also have baked goods, meats, dairy...pretty much everything else but the late-season vege.
The two markets we attend open in May, Mother's Day weekend. This is great for us because we sell perennials and cut flowers. Our markets also have bakers, meats, annuals, and a few farmers with early crops. And to Penobscot - all the markets love t…

Thank you for the quick response! We have low man power at the moment, but moving inland does make a lot of sense - maybe in the near future we'll have the capacity to make that happen. I'll keep you posted on our progress!
Hi again Penobscot,
Something else to consider about farmers' markets. It always makes sense to go inland with your catch. There is a bit more driving involved, but there is far less local competition, and I know several farmers' Markets that would…
