Clinton Farmers’ Market set to start June 6

CLINTON, N.Y. — The Clinton Village Green will welcome more than 45 vendors on Thursday, June 6 when the Clinton Farmers Market kicks off its 2024 season, the Clinton Chamber of Commerce announced.

The weekly event takes place on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Oct. 3. The market gives producers of fruits, vegetables, plants, baked goods, meat, dairy products, maple and honey products, food products, jewelry, photography, clothing, and more a place to peddle their wares.

The market accepts EBT SNAP benefits, and shoppers can use their benefits to purchase tokens at the chambers information tent. Those tokens can then be used to buyitems from vendors. As the market also operates a SNAP-based incentive program called FreshConnect that is designed to increase the purchasing power of SNAP customers, every shopper that redeems $2 in SNAP benefits receives an additional $2 FreshConnect coupon.

The market also offers the Power of Produce (POP) Kids Club which gives children ages 12 and up that are accompanied by an adult two $1 tokens to purchase fresh fruits or vegetables, the chamber noted. The program is funded through a grant from the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties.

The Kirkland Town Library will host a story time in the gazebo along with a youth market, game tables, and tech help. Musicians will perform in the gazebo throughout the season.

This years market sponsors are Access Federal Credit Union, First Source Federal Credit Union, Gilroy Kernan & Gilroy, Hamilton College, Krizia Martin, Mosquito Victory, NBT Bank, and Strategic Financial Services.

The Clinton Chamber of Commerce hosted the first market in 1997 with just a handful of vendors. More information about the market is available online at www.clintonchamber.org/farmers-market/.
