What's at Alfred Farmers Market this week?

ALFRED, NY - What are you doing this weekend? This week, on Sunday 9/29/19, the Alfred Farmers Market will be the place to be for excellent local food, music, art, and culture. Bob and Gena Decker will be the musical performers from 11 to 3 p.m. The couple has been making music together for over 20 years. They perform an eclectic acoustic mix that draws from the music of many different artists. 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 DIY homemade bird feeders made with pine cones. A handcrafted mug made by a local artist from 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 Creamy Beef and Shells that showcases local beef. You can find local beef at Sugar Haven Farm or Mascho Homestead Farm’s market booths. 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 Mascho Family Farm of Belmont, NY. They raise their grass fed animals to provide you with quality meat products that will give you not only a great eating experience, but peace of mind knowing that your food has been grown locally with great care.  Be sure to check them, and all of the other producers, out at the market!
