The Portland Farmers’ Market opened its outdoor season on a summerlike Saturday at Deering Oaks, sweeping away one of the longest, most isolated winters in memory with a light- and music-filled day of celebration.
Booths selling flowers, honey, vegetables, grass-fed beef and bread lined one side of the walkway, with buskers on the other – a violinist, a drummer, a guitar-strumming folk singer, and a New Orleans jazz band called the Hadacol Bouncers.
