NEW HARTFORD — The 2019 edition of the New Hartford Farmers Market has a new day of the week and a new home.
It will debut Tuesday, June 4 at 3 p.m. in its new location at Sherrill Brook Park on New Paris Road (State Route 12), the New Hartford Chamber of Commerce announced.
Last year, the chamber restarted its farmers market in the New Hartford Shopping Center parking lot on Wednesdays.
This year’s New Hartford Farmers Market will continue every Tuesday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. through September and will coincide with the Picnic in the Park Food Truck Festival taking place at the same time, per a chamber news release.
The Town of New Hartford has built two new pavilions in Sherrill Brook Park specifically for the farmers market. The new pavilions have electrical outlets for vendors requiring power and will provide a shaded area for several vendors, the release stated.
As of May 21, a total of 30 vendors had registered to participate in this year’s New Hartford Farmers Market, according to the chamber’s website. The vendors include Blue Sky Ranch, Christine’s Cookie Shoppe, Grey Fox Felting, Heidelberg Bread, Kaili’s Bakery, Quarry Brook Farms, Savicki’s Farm Market, and Three Sisters Creations.
Picnic in the Park New Hartford also takes place on Tuesdays in Sherrill Brook Park — it started May 21 — from 4-8 p.m. A wide variety of food trucks will be staged in the parking lot adjacent to the main playground. Picnic in the Park is presented by the Utica Food Truck Association, which also sponsors Picnic in the Park Utica on Friday nights at the Parkway Center.
The New Hartford Chamber plans to host live musical entertainment as part of the Tuesday festivities and is seeking solo acts and bands who wish to contribute sets or full concerts to the community, the release stated. The chamber is also seeking sponsors who wish to help bring paid performances to the town park on Tuesdays. Signup information is available at NewHartfordChamber.com
Vendors interested in participating in the farmers market are not charged regular vendor fees, but instead asked to join the chamber membership, the release stated.
