Williamsville Farmers’ Market continues to grow

The second year of the Williamsville Farmers’ Market is enjoying a very healthy season this year, as festival organizer Lynn Schwab has enlisted a great slate of guest vendors and artists for the remaining months of the popular market.  The market is held at the historic and beautiful Williamsville Water Mill on E. Spring Street (off Main Street, across from Village Hall, the library and Island Park) and has become a huge hit for the village and town.  And what a beautiful setting, too.

Here is an email I got from Lynn highlighting the remaining few weeks of the market, which includes some great musicians from Babik, some wonderful family entertainment and even more farmers and food vendors:

Dear Friends of the Farmers Market,

Sweet corn, melon, basil, tomatoes & more . . . the Farmers Market at the Williamsville Mill offers its September harvest.  Enjoy farm fresh every Saturday!

Farmers Market Calendar For September:

FACT:  The average bite of food we eat has traveled 1,500 miles before it reaches our fork!  The food at our farmers market has traveled an average of only 30 miles!  No food is fresher or better tasting!!! 

We’re always looking for volunteers to assist with parking, market info tent (greeting customers, handing out literature & water), set up and break down.  To volunteer call 632-7938.  It’s fun and no job is too small!

See you at the market!
Lynn
