The Canajoharie Palatine Bridge Chamber of Commerce is adding a second Farmers’ Market day and location for the 2010 season. The second market will be held in the parking lot of the Dutchtown Ace Hardware Store in Palatine Bridge on Wednesday afternoons from 4-6pm starting May 19, 2010. The Saturday market will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of The Arkell Museum at Canajoharie as it has for its first two seasons.
Vendor applications are available from the chamber’s website www.canajohariepalatinechamber.com or by calling 518-673-4434. “Most of our vendors from the past two years will be rejoining and we have two great new producers already signed up”, said Michele McGlone, chair of the organizing committee. New vendors of all kinds are being sought, particularly those selling jams, breads, and other baked goods. All products sold at the market must be produced/raised in New York State and at least 50% of each vendor’s goods must be produced/raised on property they own or rent. The market participates in NYS Agriculture and Markets’ Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program and is a member of the Pride of New York program.
The Saturday market has enjoyed a loyal following of local customers. “We so excited to be expanding our Farmers’ Market and to be working with Dutchtown Ace Hardware. We’re hoping that the new location will give help us reach people for whom a mid-week afternoon stop better fits their schedule”, said Dolores Jacksland, president of the chamber. Consumers also are invited to visit the chamber’s website and sign up for newsletters about the market and other chamber events.
