The board of the Alfred Farmers Market is proud to announce we have a new market manager, Holly Harris of Alfred.

She will begin her duties soon and will help us plan a great market season.

Please join us in welcoming her.

This Sunday’s market — October 19 — will be the last outdoor market of the season.

Beginning on October 26 and through November 23, the market will be located on the lower level of the Powell Campus Center on the Alfred University campus (building #27 on this map).

July 20, Opening Day, “Market Spouts” activities for kids
August 24, Tomato Festival
October 19, Oktoberfest
November 23, Holiday Market

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to cancel the “How to be a vendor” program scheduled for tonight. We hope to reschedule soon. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Beginning this Sunday, October 27, the market will move to the ground floor of the McLane gymnasium on North Main Street in Alfred (building #7 on this Alfred University campus map).

While we love having the market outdoors, we also want our patrons and vendors to be comfortable.

The market will remain in this location through Sunday, November 17, the last market of the season.

We hope to see you at McLane!
