Creating Community with Local Ingredients​

From June through November, Kittery Community Market brings people together every Sunday to enjoy fresh local food, support small farms and makers, experience live music, and connect with one another in a warm, welcoming community space.

​

 

More Than a Place to Shop​

We believe a farmers' market should be more than just a place to shop. It should be a place where neighbors connect, families make memories, local businesses grow, and the community gathers in a way that feels real, welcoming, and alive.

​

Now more than ever, an authentic in-person connection is deeply important. We work hard to create that space each week, a place where people can slow down, see familiar faces, discover something new, and feel part of something bigger than themselves.

​

 

Strengthening Our Local Food System​

Kittery Community Market is here to help our local food system grow stronger, make market day something people look forward to, and build a space where community truly comes together.

​

We are proud to support local farmers, food producers, bakers, and makers by creating a vibrant marketplace where they can connect directly with the community. When people shop at the market, they are doing more than making a purchase; they are investing in local farms, local families, and a stronger local economy.

​

 

Improving Access to Healthy Food​

We are deeply committed to helping those facing food insecurity and expanding access to healthy, nourishing food.

​

Through our food access and community support programs, we help make fresh, unprocessed, and minimally processed foods more affordable and accessible to our neighbors, while also directing more dollars back to the local farmers and vendors who provide that food. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy healthy local food, and that supporting food access and supporting local agriculture go hand in hand.

​

 

Supporting the Arts and Local Creativity​

Our market is also a celebration of local talent and creativity.

​

From live music to artisan crafts, we are proud to support the artists, musicians, and makers who bring so much richness, beauty, and energy to our community. These local voices and creative businesses help make each market day feel lively, inspiring, and uniquely rooted in place.

​

 

Inspiring Future Generations​

We want to inspire the next generation of farmers' market shoppers.

​

By creating a fun, welcoming, and engaging experience for children and families, we help young people build positive connections with local food, local farms, and community life from an early age. We hope those experiences grow into lifelong habits, values, and memories.

​

 

Building Meaningful Community Partnerships​

Kittery Community Market is strengthened by the generous support of our sponsors and community partners.

​

Their support helps make our programs, events, and community impact possible, while also creating meaningful connections between local businesses and the people of this community. We are proud to work with sponsors who believe in the power of local food, local connection, and community care.

​

 

A Place to Gather, Grow, and Belong​

At its heart, Kittery Community Market is about more than commerce. It is about connection. It is about supporting a healthier, more resilient local economy. It is about celebrating local agriculture, local arts, and the people who make this community special.

​

We are proud to be a place where community is created week after week, with local ingredients at the center of it all.
