“How to be a vendor” presentation cancelled
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.
Want to be a farmers market vendor? It’s not as hard as you think!
Have you ever thought about being a vendor at a farmers market but didn’t know how to get started?
To learn more about what it takes to be a vendor, come to an informational meeting at 6 pm on Thursday, March 13, at the Box of Books Library on Main Street in Alfred.
Peg Eisenhardt, owner of Hedgerow Farm Bakery, will explain what’s involved in selling crafts, vegetables, plants, eggs, meat, baked goods, and prepared foods at farmers markets in our area.
Planning underway for 2014 market
It may be cold outside, but the Alfred Farmers Market is busy making plans for the 2014 season.
First, a big thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2013 season a success: the vendors, the shoppers, our market manager who keeps everything running smoothly, the musicians, contributors to the educational program, and Alfred University who provides the space.
In 2014, the market will continue to meet 11 am to 3 pm on Sundays, from July 20 through November 23.
The market is located on the Alfred Village Green, at the corner of Main Street and Saxon Drive, in the Village of Alfred.
When the weather turns too cold, the market will be moved to the McLane Center on North Main Street in Alfred, on the Alfred University campus.
We’re exciting about the upcoming season and look forward to seeing you there!
Holiday Market, November 17
Market moves indoors this weekend
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!
