#buylocal — Public Fediverse posts

Lokjo is not just 'a map', it's a solution to many problems.

It helps you find non-corporate locations, so your money doesn't end up in things like lobbying, political bubbles, forced labour, profit-wars, polution, and way more.

It's a nifty little map, with big intentions. 😊

Farmers, makers market coming to Biddeford this summer

Biddeford will join the list of local communities with farmers markets and makers markets as the city’s first market gets ready to open this summer.

Posted March 25
Sydney Richelieu

"Farmers and makers markets are popular in towns along the seacoast, and as warmer weather approaches, markets are getting ready to open.

"This summer, Biddeford will debut its first farmers and makers market in downtown, piloted by the Downtown Development Committee (DDC).

"The committee had been discussing a possible public market for over a year when the Courier reported on the idea in February."

So, I love my state senator! He mailed me a postcard with two new #FarmersMarkets in the area (in addition to an existing one nearby in #SacoME)!

Here is the first one that was highlighted...

#DaytonME Farmer's Market
Saturdays from 8:00am - 2:00pm at 24 Jessica May Road in Dayton

“What makes the farmers market such a special place is that you’re actually creating community around food.”
