Extending from the third Saturday in June to the last Saturday in September annually, the Perry Farmers' Market - on the corner of Main Street and Borden Avenue - hosts fifteen to twenty vendors offering a dazzling array of produce for area residents. Weekly music and demonstrations mingle with a festive, colorful atmosphere, places to sit and catch up with friends or just enjoy the sights and sounds of summer.
Selection & VarietyThe 8:30 - 12:30 market features vendors providing the full spectrum of fresh fruits and vegetables, maple and honey products, meats, fresh baked breads, scones, and pies, chocolates, cut flowers and hanging baskets, certified organic chickens and produce, and many other unique and homemade products. Farmers' Market Nutrition coupons, available through Office of the Aging and Women, Infants and Children (WIC), will be accepted at the market.
Weekly Entertainment
Through the Summer Saturday Arts Series, the market will also host live music weekly at 10 o'clock from regionally acclaimed performers. In addition, there will be cooking demonstrations from local chefs, craft, bead-making, flintknapping, spinning, stained glass and pottery demonstrations, Irish dancing, and kids' activities such as face painting, custom cartoons and magicians. Area restaurants take turns hosting a booth each week to offer refreshments and lunch, and the Arts Council sponsors a booth to permit area artists to display and sell their work.
Experience Perry
Beyond providing a diverse sampling of western New York's most delicious produce to our customers, our main goals in starting the Market have been to enhance the quality of life for area residents, act as a catalyst for the area economy, and most importantly, help build community.
The Perry Farmers' Market is an ideal first stop as part of one's Saturday plans, whether at Silver Lake, Letchworth State Park, or to gather fixings for a superb summer lunch back home.
