We are in three summer markets this year, The Crystal Spring Farmer”s Market in Brunswick, Falmouth Farmer’s Market, and the Lewiston Farmer’s Market.
Crystal Spring is at the Crystal Spring Farm is a 277 acre Farm owned by the Topsham Brunswick Land Trust. The market has 40 vendors and should be busy. It has been one of my favorite markets to shop at and I am honored to be in it.
I am returning to the Falmouth Market and am looking foreword to being back in Twombly Park in Falmouth with them. I was in their summer and winter markets this past year. The market has about twenty vendors with a wide variety of products. This year they have entertainment, and special events planned.
We are going to be in the Great Falls Market in Lewiston on Sundays once a month as a guest vendor. Great Falls is sponsored by the St. Marys Nutrition Program part of St. Mary’s Hospital. It is a nice market located on the bank of the Androscogin River.
Visit my calendar page for details on my summer markets.
In addition to Farmer’s Markets I have special events planned at Garden Supply stores, and Gourmet Cookware shops. They are posted on my calendar page.

“Everyone knows that a dull knife is a dangerous
knife…which is why here at Scratch Baking
Company we ask David of Wicked Sharp to keep
our knife edges clean and sharp. The service is
fast, professional, and David does and expert job
at sharpening. Since using Wicked Sharp, we no
longer have to search around for a sharp
knife…because now they always all have a good
sharp edge.”
Bob Johnson
Scratch Baking Company
“Wicked Sharp provides an excellent knife
sharpening service to Hot Suppa. David
sharpens on a schedule that meets the needs of
restaurant, and has a quick turnaround time.
He picks up knives owned by the restaurant,
the employees, as well as my own knives, all
come back beautifully sharpened and at a
reasonable cost. Between the quality of the job
and pleasure of doing business with David and
Sara, I highly recommend Wicked Sharp to any
commercial kitchen.” -Moses Sabina, Chef /
Owner Hot Suppa
“Wicked Sharp does a great job, better than
anyone else in greater Portland. Had I known
about you when I owned my restaurant,
(Katahdin). I would have used you all the time.
“ Gretchen Bates, Chef/ owner Maine Seafood Creations
We do not rent knives.
Wicked Sharp is is only a few blocks from Willard Beach in South Portland. Have your knives sharpened while you go for a walk on the Beach. From fisherman’s Point at the beach you can see two Lighthouses. Pick up a coffee and snack on your way at Scratch Bakery. They have sandwiches and soup too.
Call first to make sure I am in the shop. (if I am not home you can leave them in the drop box on the front porch for later sharpening.)
I encourage buying your cutlery from a local retailer. The best place to go is to go to a Gourmet Kitchen store or a shop that specializes in knives. They know their products and will help you out should you have problems. Most of the knives carried in local Big Box stores and Department stores are not great… http://wickedsharpknives.com/links/
Whether you have a custom knife with a handle made from desert ironwood or a set store-bought steak knives, caring for knives with wooden handles requires more care than steel handles.
