Chenango County Farmers Market set to open Saturday
NORWICH – The Chenango County Farmers Market will officially open Saturday in the Frontier Communications parking lot, directly across from the city’s Police Department.
The market was forced to relocate this year due to the renovations taking place in East and West Park, according to Ken and Charlotte Walbrecht, who admitted things are starting up just a little late. In addition, the heavy spring rains have hampered the growth of many gardens all across the county, they added.
Approximately 30 vendors are expected to offer up a wide variety of locally grown produce this summer, in addition to baked goods, maple syrup, honey, eggs, jams, jellies and more, said the Walbrechts, whose involvement with the market goes back a quarter century. Everything offered at the market is high quality, they added.
“It just keeps building,” said the couple of the downtown market. “If we keep getting the kind of support we’ve received this year, that’s a trend we expect to see continue.”
The Walbrechts wished to thank the Norwich Business Improvement District for its aid with the market’s relocation, in addition to Deb Sylstra at Frontier Communications.
“Pegi LoPresti went out of her way to help us and the people at Frontier have been very cooperative as well,” said Charlotte Walbrecht. “The BID provided insurance for the market and we’ve really seen an outpouring of community support. The main thing now is getting the word out about our relocation.”
BID Executive Director Pegi LoPresti said the Farmers Market has been a viable and welcome addition to downtown Norwich for decades now. As one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers, the Farmers Market is a downtown staple in the community, she added.
“The BID and Friends of the Park are extremely grateful for their understanding and willingness to relocate to the Frontier parking lot in order to work around our long-awaited construction project in East Park,” said LoPresti. “By working in conjunction with Frontier and the BID, the market will remain in the heart of the downtown area, where they will continue to be accessible to all their regular customers. As always, the BID is pleased to assist the market in serving our community.”
The Walbrechts recently set up a Chenango County Farmers Market Facebook page – in an effort to further spread the word on its upcoming opening – which they said has generated a lot of interest so far.
“We know that it’s a bit of a change, but all of the vendors have been notified,” added Charlotte Walbrecht. “This is such a nice thing for the community to enjoy and we’re looking forward to the summer.”
The Chenango County Farmers Market will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. For more information on the Farmers’ Market contact the Walbrechts by phone at 334-8310 or via e-mail at mistymeadow@frontiernet.net.
