Frequently asked questions

What's in season right now in Maine?

It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak early July through mid-July; sweet corn peak early August through late August; apples peak early September through late September.

When does the market season start in Maine?

The first local crops (radishes) show up around early May, and the boards fill from there.

Where can I go u-pick in Maine?

We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Maine, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
