farmers

A slow winter in Maine and Massachusetts is about to amp up with several snowstorms and a longer season, according to the Farmers Almanac.

Taking a pleasant stroll through your local farmer's market is a relaxing activity the whole family can enjoy, and you're also supporting local farmers and businesses in the process.

With summer rolling on, local farmer's markets are popping up again all throughout Maine! Let's work to support these local farmers by giving back to our communities and eating fresher products. Right here in Augusta, you can find the Augusta Farmer's Market at Turnpike Mall...

We go way back with Peter Geiger, editor of the Farmers' Almanac. Many years ago, he started giving out a secret pass code that would score kids more "big" candy. Now, he gives out so much that he has a candy delivery truck on standby for Halloween...

I grew up drinking raw milk. I'm relatively okay :-) I love it and soon, Maine farmers may be able to sell it without a license. Good news for them and us lovers of milk in it's purest, if not safest, form!

Peter Geiger is a good man! He's the editor of the Farmers' Almanac, a Philomath (lover of learning) and a very intelligent and kind individual. Oh, and in case you didn't know, he also LOVES Halloween!
