Hey everyone! Last weekend, we had the pleasure of visiting the Gorham Farmers Market in Gorham, Maine. Normally, I would have shared this adventure with you way sooner, but with all the craziness this week, I’m just now getting around to posting. Located at 75 South Street, between the Baxter Memorial Library and The Gorham Times, this market is a vibrant hub of local produce and products. It’s open every Saturday from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, May through October. Even though it was a hot one, the warm weather didn’t slow us down. We discovered so many fantastic vendors, and I can’t wait to share them with you!
Old Wells Farm from Limington – Old Wells Farm had an impressive array of veggies that made us want to whip up a fresh, farm-to-table feast! Their kale was crisp and fresh, the fennel aromatic, and the potatoes were plump and ready for roasting. The vibrant colors and farm-fresh quality of their produce really stood out. It’s always a joy to find such high-quality, locally grown vegetables.
Wega Alpacas from Gorham – Who knew alpaca socks could be so incredibly soft? Wega Alpacas offers cozy socks that are perfect for keeping your feet warm and comfy. It’s amazing how something so simple can bring such comfort and joy.
Lemon + Lavender from Buxton – Lemon + Lavender’s booth was a sensory delight! The tantalizing aromas of their baked goods, oils, and vinegars drew us in immediately. Each product is crafted with care. Their offerings are perfect for adding a gourmet touch to any meal or enjoying a bit of pampering.
Parsons Farm from Gorham – Parsons Farm was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. We grabbed a few small green peppers, but their array of fresh vegetables was truly impressive. The blueberries and jams looked delicious.

Eden Acres Family Farm from East Waterboro – Eden Acres Family Farm offers more than just seasonal produce. While it’s not apple season yet, their variety of personal care items and organic apple cider vinegar are top-notch. Their booth is a delightful mix of practical and luxurious items that you’ll want to bring home.
Noisy Acres Farm from Buxton – Noisy Acres Farm was an absolute treat! We picked up some “Tree Hugger Tree Tea” soap, which smelled divine and choosing just one scent was definitely a challenge. Layla also grabbed a relaxing bath soak. This small family goat farm produces not only soap but also chevre and fudge, making it a must-visit for unique, high-quality products.
The Milk Bottle Cocktail Mixers from South Portland – Refreshing drinks are a must on a hot day, and The Milk Bottle Cocktail Mixers did not disappoint! With four flavors to choose from and free samples, we indulged in the Lime-Aid with Maine sea salt & mint agave and the Blueberry Snap with ginger & lemon. These mixers are perfect for crafting delicious, refreshing cocktails (or mocktails) at home. Each sip was like a burst of summer!
