New farmers market could bring economic boost to Millinocket

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 26, 2023

Millinocket residents and those from surrounding towns will have a chance to peruse locally grown foods and Maine-made goods at a new farmers market launching Saturday, June 3. The Penobscot County town had an informal market that started about eight years ago, but it fizzled after the organizer moved away, resident Barbara Riddle-Dvorak said. The AmeriCorps volunteer for Age-Friendly Millinocket has made the upcoming farmers market, which will run from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, the focus of her service.
