The Farmington Farmers’ Market will move indoors to a new location at the St. Joseph Center starting on Saturday, Nov. 6. The winter market will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays, November through April, at the center, located at the corner of Quebec and Middle Streets. The Center houses the St. Joseph Nutrition Center, a parish social ministry initiative to “Feed the Hungry in Franklin County in a comprehensive way.”

The nutrition center includes a self-serve walk-in food pantry open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week, as well as take out meal distribution from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays.

For more information about the center or to volunteer, call Stephanie Crowe at 897-2173. ext. 1203

Farmington’s outdoors farmers’ markets will resume in May.

The year-round online farmers’ market, WesternMaineMarket.com, will continue to offer order pick-up Fridays on Front Street and will add the winter market Saturday to the list of pick-up and delivery options.

The members of the Farmington Farmers’ Market Association look forward to the opportunity to make the winter market more accessible to downtown residents and the UMF community and also remain deeply grateful for all that the Farmington Grange has done for the market over the years. The Grange, which hosted the winter farmers’ market from 2009 until March of 2020, remains in operation.
