Members of the Scarborough and Gorham Farmers markets have formed a new coalition to bring residents of the greater Portland area a summer market with unique offerings in a convenient location in Gorham.

Adjacent to the Sebago Brewing Company headquarters is the 2-acre plot that will host the first Annual Cherry Hill Farmers Market, named after the land preserve that abuts the marketplace. All are invited to attend and peruse a wide assortment of farm-fresh produce along with other Maine-made goods.

Beginning May 4, the Cherry Hill Farmers market will be open every Wednesday 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. until October.

As a generous offer to bolster some of this summer’s community activities near Gorham village center, John Shaw has allowed the Cherry Hill market to use his land for the market grounds. This event would not be possible without his diligent work throughout the process.

Everyone will have the chance to meet the unique vendors and take advantage of fresh produce, meats, pastries and breads, fresh ground coffee, tea, homemade goods, honey, flowers for the table, handcrafted jewelry and unique gifts from talented people.

Signs along Route 25 in Gorham will direct you to the market, and there will be a large horseshoe of vendors set up in an easy-to-navigate path. The parking is free, easy to access, and plentiful.

As you stroll through the market grounds you may see some familiar vendors as well as some new ones. There will be something for everyone. We currently have a nice selection of vendors and we still have room for more.

If you are interested in applying as a seasonal or full-time vendor, please reach out to Jean Cayer at cherryhillsfarmersmarket@gmail.com or visit our Facebook page.
