Brockport's Farmer's Market opening June 19

The Village of Brockport will be sponsoring the Market Street Farm Market. The season starts on Father's Day featuring a strawberry social, a fundraiser sponsored by the Brockport Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.

This year the market will feature new vendor, Greg'ry's Bakery of Bergen, offering cookies, scones, pies, Mountain Bread (a sweet white bread) and a salt rising bread.

Of the 16 original vendors, 15 are returning to the market this year. Bringing fresh, affordable produce to consumers and giving local growers an additional venue for their products were clearly goals in mind when Carrie Maziarz got involved in planning the market.

Scott Winner, economic development marketing coordinator for the village, said another goal set in establishing the market was to stimulate retail activity during a time of year and on a day of the week that was typically slow for downtown merchants.

The market is open Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting on Father's Day, June 19 through October 30.
