As last year, the Market is scheduled to open Mothers Day weekend – Saturday, May 8 – with a craft show in addition to early plant & specialty vendors.  The Market will still be located in the Alden Village Plaza at 13119 Broadway every Saturday from 8:30am to 1:00 pm.  We expect the 2010 season to end on October 2.

Early weeks will mostly feature plants & nursery products, baked goods, maple & honey products, early produce, and crafts.  We plan to again have a late Spring Flea Market in mid-May. 

As in past years, the Market also will feature entertainment and special events designed for the whole family.  Non-profit groups will sell coffee, soda & snacks the entire season.  The complete Calendar of Events will be available here by early May.

 

We continually seek new farm and specialty product vendors. Please refer any potential vendors to the Chamber office or Market Manager.  Vendors may come for just one or two Saturdays, or for the full season.  Rates are just $50 for the entire season, or $15 per day.  Chamber members can have a spot at the Market at no charge, upon approval.  The Chamber will again sell food (coffee, pizza, etc). several times, along with some other products.  There will again be two “big basket” raffles and we hope Chamber members will participate by providing Gift Certificates from their businesses for this. 

Community groups are encouraged to sell food and/or have information tables at the Market.  To find out how you or your group can participate, please call or email the Market Manager, Nancy Hughes, at 716-937-0103 or nhughes@rochester.rr.com 

This will be our 8th season.  Vendors, volunteers, customers & entertainers are all keys to our success.  Come, join all your old & new friends at the Alden Farmers Market!
