Warwick Valley Farmers' Market Opens 23rd Season on Mother's Day, May 8th

WARWICK, N.Y. - May 1, 2016 - PRLog -- The Warwick Valley Farmers' Market will open its 2016 Market Season - it's 23^rd Market Season -  at 9:00 a.m. on Mother's Day Sunday, May 8^th.  Opening Sunday ribbon cutting ceremonies will take place at 9:30 a.m.

The Warwick Valley Farmers' Market has long been recognized locally and in the regional press as a core community institution helping define Warwick. Over the last two years, it has been recognized for the part it plays in creating as a special place to visit for a weekend getaway and a very special and  unique community to call home.  Every Sunday from May through November, the Warwick Valley Farmers' Market sets up in the South Street Parking Lot, in the middle of the downtown, and fittingly, in the middle of the Historic District.

The Market has added new vendors who will join us every Sunday:  Daily Bread Bakeshop will offer a selection of yeast-based freshly baked artisan breads to compliment wood fired sourdough breads already offered in the Market. Others include  Lakeside Maple with a selection of trail mixes baked in maple syrup; Maria's Gourmet Edibles with a selection of stuffed breads; Soraia's Natural Valley Kitchen with vegan options, bone broth and fruit soups; Emily's Italian Hearth with on-site wood-fired pizzas

In the 2016 Season, the Market will for the first time, open to part time vendors.  "Three of our vendors will join us every other Sunday," said Penny Steyer, Market Manager.  "Those vendors are Senza Glutine by Carmela, Corbett's Cookie Bar Kitchen, and Pine Island Brewery as this makes more sense for them in terms of staffing.  Senza Glutine and Corbett's will begin on Sunday, May 8^th. Pine Island Brewery will start on Sunday, May 15^th."

These are just a few of the  new items that consumers will find at the Market.  Our other 30 vendors have been working hard to expand their offerings to meet consumers' interests.  From early hoop-house tomatoes, to special varieties of greens and vegetables, to goji berries, to select prepared seafood dishes, to specialty pastas, tortillas, pickles and cider donuts, you can find everything for your table, locally grown and fresh from our farms and farm kitchens.

The Warwick Valley Farmers' Market is a producer market with a core of 10 fruit and vegetable vendors, one organic maple syrup farm, 5 livestock farms, 2 horticulturalists, one fishmonger. Those core farm producers are complimented and enhanced by a roster of 9 on-farm kitchens and on-farm wineries and cideries as well as other complimentary kitchens who are dedicated to bringing prepared food from local farms to you at the Market.
