Friske’s Farm Market

If you’re driving through Ellsworth and you’ve got kids in the car, just stop here — it’s that simple. Friske’s has put real money into their play areas lately, and it shows: everything is clean, well-maintained, and there’s both indoor and outdoor options so the weather doesn’t ruin anyone’s plans. Grab a donut or some cookies from the market side while the kids run around, because the baked goods alone are worth the detour. Shaded seating means you can actually sit down and enjoy yourself instead of squinting in the sun. Locals bring out-of-town guests here on purpose — it’s that kind of place.
