By 9 AM on Saturday, the opening day of the Portland winter farmers market got off to a rousing start as shoppers filed through the glass doors at 84 Cove St. in East Bayside. With plenty of spaces to park onsite, by 10 AM the place was packed as though farm-to-table was in jeopardy of becoming passé. But fear not, Portland shoppers can continue to source their foods from local purveyors as the winter market carries on the tradition that allows our passion to buy local thrive.
The space itself is a bit labyrinthine as the flow of rooms are tight, but overall the multi-room layout works, making the space feel more like a charming boutique than a cavernous warehouse.
