Norwich Farmers Market offers free memberships to farmers & veterans
NORWICH – Norwich Farmers Market is now offering free memberships to local farmers who wish to sell their own farm-produced commodities and free memberships to veterans to sell their home produced products, or promote their entrepreneurial businesses at the Wednesday farmers market in Norwich.
This is possible through a grant recently received from the Agricultural Development Council of Chenango County.
The Norwich Farmer's Market is the only market left in Chenango County which offers all of the agriculture programs designed for farmers markets in New York State - FMNP-WIC, FMNP-SR, WIC V&F, SNAP/EBT, Health Bucks, and FreshConnect.
In addition, it offers its members credit card services and training in all federal, state, and local programs, regulations and laws for open-air markets.
The Norwich Farmers Markets' first day will be Wednesday, May 2, 2018.
Anyone wishing to join the market may obtain an application form and by-laws through e-mail by contacting norwichfarmersmarket@frontier.com or through USPS mail by calling 607-334-4928.
The Norwich Farmers Market started in the 1930’s as a two day public market, (Wednesdays and Saturdays) and was administered by the City of Norwich.
The market was eventually turned over by the city, and made into two separate nonprofit organizations in 2014. Norwich BID officially closed the Saturday portion of the 80+ year old farmers market at the end of season 2015.
By 2016 there were only two Saturday markets left where Chenango County recipients of some of these agriculture programs could redeem their coupons, checks, and benefits. They were across the county line in Sidney (for residents living in the eastern part of the county) and in Cincinnatus on the west.
There is a special event being planned later in May to give the community information regarding all the agriculture programs offered to farmers and farmers markets and to promote all Chenango County agriculture – both individual farm businesses and all seven county farmers markets.
Nutrition and health information will also be a feature in this “Welcome Spring” event on the last Wednesday of May. Details will be published soon.
