GORHAM — It’s the place to be on Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m.: the Town Common in Gorham where the Gorham Farmers’ Market will run to Sept. 26.
The farmers market in this particular Coos County town is an example of a regional growing business trend as vendors and would-be patrons of the outdoor, agricultural-themed plazas come together to share information about the products and items for sale while enjoying the outdoors, listening to live music on some occasions and being in community with other people.
