Elisabeth Paine of New Gloucester gives in and allows her husband, John, to eat the Needham that he had been craving at the New Gloucester Farmers Market on Tuesday. John Paine had already had his sugar fix when he spied the extra-large Needham at the Cake and Candy Creations display. The first-year market is held every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 16 at Connemara Farm on Peacock Hill Road. Farm owner Anne McCormack said she hopes to extend the market by moving indoors over the winter. Jessie Hoffman holds her 2½-month-old daughter, Gabriella, in the background.
