St. Michael’s Episcopal Church is on Pleasant Street, a one-way street off Court Street (Route 202) in Auburn. Pleasant Street is located between High and Spring streets. The driveway is located before the church building. It is the first church on the left side of the street, a maroon building.
The fair is sponsored by the Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association, Slow Foods Portland and the Maine Council of Churches’ Eat Local Foods Project.
