Winter Gateway (York) Farmers’ Market

Winter Gateway (York) Farmers’ Market Opening Saturday, Nov 22

The Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce our 2014 - 2015 Winter Farmers’ Market season beginning on November 22 at the American Legion!

Steph Oeser, the market manager, says, “We're looking forward to a great fifth season of our winter market! We have a few new meat farmers and prepared food vendors, which will expand our offerings this year.”

The market is again sponsored by The Bank of Maine; rediscover true community banking! Local decisions, local people, and a banking partner committed to providing exceptional service. The Bank of Maine understands that it takes much more than products and services to be an influential Maine community member. That is why they have returned over $25 million to their communities through contributions and grants. Visit their website at www.thebankofmaine.com.

The 2014 - 2015 Winter Gateway Farmers’ Market will take place on 9 Saturdays between November and March indoors at The American Legion (next to Hannaford at 9 Hannaford Drive), in York, Maine. The dates are every other Saturday: Nov 22, Dec 6 & 20, Jan 3 & 17, Feb 7 & 21, Mar 7 & 21. The market runs from 9:00am - 1:00pm with 25-29 vendors each Saturday. Just like our summer market, this event is always free to attend.

The goal of this market is to support our local farmers, food-producers, artists & artisans, while offering a one-stop shopping experience for customers looking to buy their produce, milk, breads, sweets, meats, seafood, and specialty foods for the week. The select crafters at this market offer handmade, local and unique gifts for you or someone special (especially during the holiday season)!
