The Boothbay Farmers Market’s season on the Boothbay Town Common, 1 Common Drive, Boothbay will begin Thursday, May 12. Vendors will set up on the Common from 9 a.m. to noon on Thursdays through October 6.

The Boothbay Farmers Market is a community of local farmers, fishermen and artisans. On a typical market day, residents and visitors stroll through the market, chat with vendors, taste delicious samples of locally produced food, and support local agriculture. Perennial plants, flowers, and some

hand-crafted items are available in addition to various food items.

Our members from the Boothbay peninsula include And Candy Too!, Boothbay Craft Brewery & Tavern, and Mana Medicinals, a new member. Mana Medicinals makes organic and locally grown herbal remedies. We are planning to have live entertainment on busy market days.”

The items available at this market include local cheeses, fresh fruits, organic vegetables, artisan candies, seedlings, handmade baskets, fresh flowers, fresh seafood, fresh eggs, local dairy and meat, freshly roasted coffee, herbal teas, smoked and cured meats, beer, jams, pickles, Chinese treats, beeswax candles, herbal remedies, fresh mushrooms, local sheep’s wool, handmade soap, and freshly baked pastries and breads.
