One of the Nation’s Best Farmers Markets is in a Small Maine Town

For so many of us, gardening and cooking is a point of passion. It's the ability to grow and maintain a plentiful garden and whip up a meal that features fresh produce from your own plot of land, or one nearby.

That's why good farmers markets have been operating throughout Maine for decades. People in Maine appreciate the hard work of local farmers, and view these markets as a place for to congregate and find the best of best in fresh, delicious offerings.

LoveFood was inspired by great farmers markets nationwide, and put together a list of the best farmers markets in every state across the nation. LoveFood's choice for Maine isn't found in a big city either; it's a terrific small-town market.

Beth's Farm Market in Warren was chosen as one of the best farmers markets in the nation. Starting more than two decades ago as a small roadside stand, Beth's has transformed over the years into a thriving outpost where locals and passersby visit to pick up fruits and veggies, along with delectable baked goods and homemade desserts like strawberry shortcake.

In September and October, Beth's also features a family-friendly corn maze to keep both kids and adults entertained.

Warren is a cozy town of less than 5,000 people that sits back from the ocean and abuts tourist hubs like Rockland and Rockport. But many of the tourists that visit those towns each year have discovered the secret that is Beth's Farm Market.

Beth's Farm Market is open 8am until 6pm every day from the middle of April until December.
