Our Markets!
We have 3 wonderfully different markets for you to experience and enjoy. Whether it's early spring, the heat of summer, a crisp fall morning, or a snowy winter day, we have markets year round to keep you connected to Maine's farms and eating healthy!
If it can be grown or produced in Maine, you'll find it at the Portland Farmers' Market. We offer farm products exclusively and you can trust that EVERYTHING at our market was grown and produced in the great state of Maine. Our market has been in existence since 1768 and we are proud to continue to offer the Portland Community a place to come together and enjoy the bounty of Maine's harvest!
Deering Oaks Park, Saturdays

From Late April to Thanksgiving, Deering Oaks Park is the scene for cooks, eaters, and gardeners looking for fresh farm products on a Saturday morning. Serious shoppers come as early as 7am to peruse the agricultural showcase representing up to 38 farms. Surrounded by one of Portland’s largest green spaces, this Farmers’ Market has a relaxed weekend feel. Folks shop and chat, catching up with friends and neighbors as they fill their wagons and shopping bags with food and other farm products, all grown, raised, and produced in Maine.
The market in Deering Oaks is an excellent opportunity to meet the people who grow the food that greater Portland eats. Chefs frequent the market to load up on local food and flowers and to connect to Maine’s changing seasons.
Some highlights of the Market’s offerings include vegetables, fruit, herbs, herb plants, berries, honey, maple syrup, jam, jelly, cut flowers, rose plants, vegetable seedlings, milk, cheese, yogurt, goat cheese, hanging baskets, beef, pork, lamb, goat meat, chicken, turkey, bacon, sausage, fiber, perennial plants, eggs, pickles, fermented foods like kim chi, sauerkraut, and so much more!
