Skowhegan Farmers Market

Skowhegan Farmers Market brings together year-round food vendors, orchard fruit, maple syrup, flowers, cheese, and baked goods in Skowhegan, with the summer market set at Maine Grains behind Hight Chevrolet and beside The Miller’s Table. The vendor mix leans strongly toward producers who grow, raise, bake, and make their own goods, from organic vegetables and small fruits to chevre, ricotta, yogurt, and sourdough bread. SNAP shoppers have multiple places to spend benefits here, including farms that explicitly serve SNAP and WIC participants.

What you'll find there

Organic produce and dairy are central to the market’s lineup, and the roster also stretches into orchard fruit, maple, flowers, herbal goods, and pet treats. Several vendors are year-round sellers, which gives the market a steady core even as seasonal farms rotate through.

• -Northwoods Naturals grows organic vegetables and has been doing so for over 30 years.
• -Cayford Orchards brings fruit from a six-generation family farm, including 57 varieties of apples along with peaches, pears, and plums.
• -Bee Natural Products makes small-batch, lab-tested CBD oil, lotion, cream, tincture, and soap, and also sells local honey and a honeybee feeder.
• -Dig Deep Farm raises seasonal produce and small fruits on 10 acres of MOFGA certified organic land.
• -The Miller’s Table offers sourdough bread, granola, rustic pastry, and daily specials made with Maine Grains flours and local produce.
• -Moodytown Gardens sells organic vegetables along with pastured pork and grass-fed beef.
• -Sawyer’s Maple Farm supplies pure maple syrup from its family-run operation.
• -Crooked Face Creamery produces fresh ricotta, cheese curds, and aged cheeses, plus other locally sourced goods.
• -Hide and Go Peep Farm raises rabbits and chickens and also sells organic vegetables, plant seedlings, and herbal medicines.
• -Maison De Chevre makes chevre and flavored chevre varieties and raises goats, rabbits, quail, geese, ducks, and chickens.
• -Lamplighter Farm focuses on soft spreadable cheeses, yogurts, and yogurt smoothies.
• -Foxmeadow Flower Farm grows specialty cut flowers for weddings and event design.
• -WOOF-ie Pies Bakery bakes all-natural dog treats with simple ingredients. The setting ties the market closely to Maine Grains and The Miller’s Table: the summer market sits in the parking lot behind Hight Chevrolet, beside the restaurant, and the winter market shifts its rhythm rather than disappearing, staying outside through the first market in December before winter operations continue. That placement gives the market a distinct food-making frame, with grain-based baking from The Miller’s Table on hand alongside farms selling organic vegetables, small fruits, meats, maple syrup, and cheese. The result is a market defined less by novelty than by producers with specific, named specialties: 57 apple varieties from Cayford Orchards, spreadable cheeses and yogurt smoothies from Lamplighter Farm, and chevre from Maison De Chevre.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest policy detail to plan around. In summer, the market is located at Maine Grains in the parking lot behind Hight Chevrolet, beside The Miller’s Table at 42 Court Street. The market’s seasonal pattern also matters: it runs on Saturdays, remains outside through the first market in December, and shifts to winter hours in November. Restrooms are not available on site. If you are navigating by nearby businesses rather than street number alone, Hight Chevrolet and The Miller’s Table are the key landmarks for finding the market setup.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the market. Individual vendors also note food-access participation: Dig Deep Farm serves WIC and SNAP participants, while Moodytown Gardens accepts WIC, Maine Harvest Bucks, SNAP/EBT, and participates in the Maine Senior Farm Share Program.
