Location: Ellsworth, ME 

The John Edwards Market in Ellsworth, Maine is a convenient place to get foodie provisions while on your way to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

It is a biggish place, at least if you are accustomed to shops of this type closer to Boston. It is easy to get around, which is good because you may have to get around other patrons perusing the many interesting things on the shelves.

The market boasts a great selection of local produce, and they grind Equal Exchange coffee daily. They are vegan-friendly and keep a variety of health supplements in addition to foodstuffs. They have a selection of wines and often ciders, including local products that may be hard to find even in Portland.

The selection of other fare is not as huge as some shops closer to Boston, but it has plenty of treats and a few local things that you might not find at home. This market is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in or passing through Ellsworth.
