Meet the Woman

Behind Martinsville Market.

Martinsville Market is run by Alexis, with help from her fiance and three kids!

​

Originally from rural Iowa, Alexis graduated from New York University with a focus in Food Studies. She has spent the past thirteen years working in restaurants and agriculture, spending time in NYC, Pennsylvania, France, and the past ten years in Midcoast Maine. From viniculture to urban rooftop farming; organic, horse-powered market gardening to large-scale commercial fruit and vegetable production; fine dining to food systems education in our local schools (MSAD40), Alexis has been involved in many different parts of our food system.​

Local when Perishable - 
   Regionally when      Durable

When you shop at Martinsville Market, you are not supporting a single farm or a single family - you are supporting Midcoast Maine.

At Martinsville Market, we believe that no single farm can or should produce everything. Instead, each farm thrives by focusing on products uniquely suited to their land, knowledge, and passion. On our own farm, we grow only the most perishable items—flowers—ensuring they are as fresh as possible. For everything else, we partner with trusted local producers: meats and dairy from Grace Pond Farm in Thomaston, vegetables and fruit from Beth’s Farm Market in Warren, breads from Atlantic Bakery in Rockland, and more. When you shop at Martinsville Market, you’re supporting the hardworking families that make Midcoast Maine a truly special place.

​

We have recently expanded further afield for durable goods, allowing us to offer a wide range of high-quality, well-crafted goods for your home and celebrations. This collaborative approach - local when perishable, regionally when durable - not only supports local agriculture but also allows for a well-stocked and thoughtfully curated offering.

All products at Martinsville Market are non-GMO. Many products are certified Organic, while still more are grown using sustainable practices but are not certified. Above any superficial label, we value small-scale production. In this way, when consumers have any questions or concerns about our agricultural practices, we can engage in respectful and productive discussions about the benefits and drawbacks of each system.
