Many vendors of the Orono Farmers' Market are planning once-a-month winter deliveries to Orono, on the second and fourth Saturday of the month at the downtown location parking lot behind the Bear Brew Pub. Times may vary, so be on the lookout for an email from the Orono Market News with last-minute updates. To subscribe to the Market News e-letter, send an email to: oronomarketnews@prexar.com

(We really do come in all weather! These photos were taken in the Steam Plant Parking Lot. The winter market is now in its downtown location.)

Check here for updates, as this information is still changing.
