This year’s series of events builds on the success of the farmers’ market pilot project staged by SU and SUNY-ESF last October.
“Based on the success of drawing 1,250 participants and 32 vendors last year, we are excited about the chance to offer four events and expand the variety of vendors this year,” says Peter Webber, SU’s director of auxiliary services and chair of the committee organizing the market. “It is a great opportunity for students, staff, faculty and community members to purchase wholesome, quality produce and specialty items from local farmers and craftsmen.”
