Calling all farmers, gardeners, bakers and makers – have you ever thought about getting started with selling your products at a Farmer’s Market? The Thursday Night Farm to Fork Farmer’s Market in downtown Owego is always looking for more vendors and you might be a perfect fit. The Market is well established after running for the last two years, and you may find that it’s an ideal outlet for your products, from produce to crafts and ready-made edibles.
The market runs from June 16 to Sept. 29 (with a possibility of an extension into October), from 4 to 7 p.m. This unique market not only features local growers, and all the veggies and herbs, and fruits you would expect, but also lots of locally produced jams and jellies, baked goods, and a rotating selection of other goods.
In addition, each week is a new and fun experience for visitors, with live music, beer tastings, and delicious food from local restaurants, utilizing the offerings from the growers at the Market. There are also fun activities for kids and families.
The Thursday Night Farm to Fork Farmer’s Market is not a big summer-long commitment unless you want it to be – spaces are $10 a week, or $60 for the whole season from June through September, so you can come to sell your goods as often as you like, when you are ready.
Getting signed up is easy – go to the Owego Historic Marketplace website, www.owego.org and click on the radish labeled “Farm to Fork Farmer’s Market”. There, you will find a printable listing of rules, and a form to apply.
