BRUNSWICK
When people flock to Crystal Springs Farm to reap what local growers thus far have sown, it will mark the beginning of the market’s 14th year in the fields off Pleasant Hill Road.
Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust Executive Director Angela Twitchell said more than 40 vendors will return to the familiar setting Saturday. They are “like family,” she said; many have been regulars since the beginning.
Goods are available every Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Because the market can be wildly popular — sometimes drawing crowds of 3,000 or more — she recommends getting there early.
Jane Koopman will return for a second year as marketing coordinator; she will share the title – and job — with her mother, Jaqui Koopman.
Additionally, new parking director Ed Mendes aims to increase parking efficiency by as much as 25 percent through new patterns.
The Trust owns and manages the 320-acre Crystal Springs Farm, acquiring it in 2008 after several fundraising campaigns to reach the $2 million purchase price.
