Three years in the making, the historic Bath Freight Shed becomes the new home for the Bath Winter Farmers Market at 9 a.m. this Saturday.

The Bath Freight Shed Alliance has worked with the Winter Farmers Market and building owner BFC Marine of Woolwich, which is leasing the space.

The old train station freight shed on Commercial Street has been refurbished, it has a new roof, and it’s ready to “go to market,” organizers say.

There will be live music, local apple cider and exhibits. Members of the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust will be on hand to talk about farmland and local food collaboration.

Joan Detel, Winter Farmers Market spokeswoman, said everyone is ready for the big opening.

“There’s no place like home, and home for the winter we are,” Detel wrote in the latest edition of Market News.

The historic Bath Freight Shed is a two-minute walk south of the park on Commercial Street — a long gray building behind the Customs House.

The Bath Freight Shed Alliance received a major boost when the Maine Preservation Executive Board earlier this year included the Bath Freight Shed as a positive example on Maine’s Most Endangered Historic Resources list of 2012. Maine Preservation included it to showcase the property as an excellent model for adaptive reuse of a historic railway freight shed.

The winter market will be open 9 a.m. to noon every Saturday through April. There is plenty of parking in the lot on Commercial Street and under the bridge.

New vendors include Grampas Garden, which offers natural health and therapeutic items; the Turkey Farm, which offers fresh turkeys; MicroMainea, which brings fresh microgreens; and Fat Friar’s Mead, which brews meads.
