Local meets local meets local ingredients!!
You can now buy a variety of pasta, pasta sauce and pizza dough made by Paolina’s Way using many ingredients purchased at Farmers Fare. The collaboration is unique and reciprocated, Farmers Fare sells Paolina’s Way prepared food items and Paolina’s Way purchases meats, dairy products and produce which they present on their in-house menu!!
“At Paolina's Way we have a commitment to serving only the freshest local and organic foods. That means, everything from the flour used in our breads and pizza dough to our tomatoes, vegetables, cheese, meats, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and even our beverages are organic or all natural. While we cannot label every item on our menu as such, you can be sure from salads to desserts you are eating the highest quality foods that are good for you, good for Maine, and good for the environment.”
Paolina’s Way is currently closed and is due to reopen February 2010 so please come to Farmers Fare for your Paolina’s delights!!

"Hi Folks,
Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event for the Chamber this past evening. It was my introduction to your store and I will certainly share the information and my very positive impression with my friends in the Midcoast area.
You have a very interesting business plan and a great staff - I particularly enjoyed their energy.
Congratulations, thank you and I hope to be back soon."

Fun with apples and vegetables!!
Last Thursday Farmers Fare hosted children from the Spectrum program at Camden Rockport Elementary School and the Prism program at Camden Rockport Middle School for a workshop with Katy Morrison, our Education Co-ordinator. The children made vegetable soup and did artwork using apples to print designs. A great deal of fun was had by all and the children made a beautiful poster to thank Farmers Fare for hosting the event, here is a close-up of their artwork.

Local delivery available
Did you know "We deliver with JOY!" Farmers Fare will deliver locally your call-in (236 3273) order for groceries, meat or items from our daily menu. Not only is it convenient for you but it's also fun to see the JOY van in 'person' at your home or office.
People ask “Is that a hybrid?” or “Is that a bio-diesel?”
No, it’s just your everyday JOY delivery vehicle. Farmers Fare is reaching back to our roots to find what is valuable. Imagine a combination of the local general store - a place where you gather with neighbors around the pot bellied stove, picking up news, hanging out, sharing meals - and the Grange where you entertained, maybe a fiddle festival, and where you learn stuff from people in your community. Now imagine that on wheels and you have THE JOY VAN!!
