List of Area Farmer’s Markets Expands
According to a recent piece in The Maine Switch, there are now a few more area farm markets to tickle your fresh produce fancy. Freeport, Cumberland Center, and Scarborough join the list Portland-area towns which host regular, seasonal farmer’s markets. There’s one that opens just down the street from the house Amber and I are buying in Gorham, and I look forward to swinging by before my Tuesday night volleyball league to pick up some veggies for the week.
For some reason Amber and I have never managed to get ourselves to the huge Deering Oaks market on Saturdays. We’ve driven by a few times, and actually tried once but got there as things were closing up. Having one less than a mile down the road will give us less of an excuse. Of course, the Gorham market doesn’t run as long as Portland’s. Maybe we’ll find ourselves heading into town on Saturday mornings next year?
Check out Avery Yale Kamila’s piece for the full list of markets.
Jason and Amber,
Gorham seems very nice from the few times we passed thru on Route 25.
When do you expect to close? Please make sure that you get an original copy of the title policy post-closing from the bank’s title co.
If anything ever goes wrong with your legal ownership of the house and land, you need this for your protection.
When we closed on our property in Portland, I noticed that there were no lawyers present except for the title co. That is not like NYS. What I did was hire my own title co. to make sure I had a lawyer there representing me and after the closing I received an original title policy certifying I had legal title to the house and property.
In any event, congrats on the house and hope to see you both soon.
Steve
