ALFRED, NY - What are you doing this weekend? This week, on Sunday 8/11/19, the Alfred Farmers Market will be the place to be for excellent local food, music, art, and culture. Oren Wiley Clark Schultze will be the musical performer from 11 to 1p.m. and Kristina Snyder from 1 to 3p.m. Oren is a 12-string guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, and Christina Snyder writes a lot of her own music with a Christian/folk sound. Individuals of all ages and abilities can join in the fun and be entertained with hands on educational and hands on activities. The Family Activities tent will feature a Whirligig Spinner which is hand decorated circle shape that spins powered by a penny or string. A handcrafted mug made by local artisan, the MUD Club will be raffled off as a fundraiser for the market. Don’t miss out on this one of a kind item!
The recipe featured this week is Grass-fed
Beef Meatloaf, which showcases local items like grass-fed beef, eggs and onions
that can be found in season this week. The Alfred Farmers Market wouldn’t exist
if not for the dedicated farmers and artisans that regularly attend. The
highlighted vendor of this week is Sugar Haven Farms from Rexville. They offer healthy, wholesome products, from animals raised without hormones
and antibiotics. They use proven approaches to agriculture in a sustainable
model that benefits both the land (the billions of microbes found in one
handful of soil) and the caretakers of the land. Be sure to check them, and all of the other
producers, out at the market!
The Alfred Farmer’s Market is located at the
Alfred Village Bandstand on the corner of Main and Saxon Drive. Market days are
every Sunday from 11a.m.-3p.m. from June 16 to October 27th. SNAP/EBT, WIC checks
and FMNP (Farmers Market Nutrition Program) and senior checks are accepted.
Meet your friends, neighbors and farmers on Sunday June 16th and enjoy the
bounty of the season and the Alfred Farmer’s Market. For more information,
