ALFRED, NY - What are you doing this weekend? This week, on Sunday 9/15/19, the Alfred Farmers Market will be the place to be for excellent local food, music, art, and culture. Casual Reply will be the musical performer from 11 to 3 pm. Casual Reply features John Spicer and Michelle Libertone performing acoustic folk, light rock, and country favorites. 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 Basket Making in which you make a basket with a cereal box and raffia. A handcrafted mug made by local artist Cory Brown will be raffled off as a fundraiser for the market. Don’t miss out on this one of a kind item!
This week only, the Alfred Farmers Market will feature bulk green beans. Justin Ellison, from White Valley Farm in Whitesville, NY will be at the market selling ½ bushel boxes (approximately 10lb) of green beans for $15. This is the perfect opportunity to can or freeze local food for the winter! 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 Designs by Scaryann. Mary Ann Carpenter of Belfast uses the process of winding, cutting and weaving her own jump rings into chainmaille and beaded jewelry. She even weaves chainmaille during the market, so you can see how it’s made. Be sure to check her, and all of the other producers, out at the market!
