DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Dover Cove Farmers’ Market is joining in the fun of Dover-Foxcroft’s Townwide Halloween BooNanza. The market will be in the Piscataquis Chamber of Commerce’s parking lot from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Halloween offering free hot apple cider, pumpkin donut holes and perhaps a surprise or two.

Halloween is the last chance this year to get to Dover Cove Farmers’ Market. Farmers have brought in most of their harvests and planted their garlic. Orchards are pressing cider. It’s time to stock up on squash, potatoes, onions, carrots and cabbage. Don’t be scared to buy from local farmers. Debit, credit and EBT cards are welcome, and EBT shoppers are eligible for fruit and vegetable purchase incentives through a USDA grant.

Many farmers offer Community Supported Agriculture shares or other ways to access local foods through the winter. Talk to the farmers to learn how to store now and how to get more. Support of local farms makes a difference all year long.
