Great place with fresh produce, pottery, baked goods and more. The people that run it are dedicated to the community.
Patty MacLeish says
The Cooperstown Farmers Market is the best. The Market never closed during COVID–the Market staff were creative and agile to get a shopping method in place and keep wonderful food on our community’s tables and provide a point of sale for our local farmers . It’s the place to be on Saturday mornings (and Tuesdays in the summer).
Dorothy Hudson says
Again, we have the perfect place for a market. It is open to the outdoors but undercover. We have music, live is better but recorded is good. We have a great variety of items for sale. We have venders to choose from for meat, vegetables, baked goods and crafts. We have a choice. Most everyone is cheerful and capable. Best of all my neighbors always look so happy and engaged when I see them there, plus there always is someone with a baby carriage. Always change, bank nearby.

Nice to also have a mid-week market to pick up fresh fruits, meats, eggs and veggies on a more relaxed market day. Thanks for this great opportunity
Amy Zoltick says
Not only is the market wonderful for produce but it is also wonderful for handmade items for oneself & as gifts.
Susan says
Great veggies, pottery, flowers, mushrooms, candles and honey…to name a few of the offerings. The market is very clean and the organizers remind those attending to social distance, wash hands/sanitize upon arrival, and wear face masks. This has been great during COVID-19.
Jean Perillo says
What a great farmer’s market! I visit it when I am in town visiting with family. From the flowers to the baked goods, fresh veggies and fruits and my favorite – the cheese from local farms. What a great place to buy quality, fresh ingredients while being entertained by live musicians. I love the market!
Katie Boardman says
Love, love, love our local and abundant Cooperstown Farmers Market. Open year round with the best of seasonal agricultural products from around our region. Clean, safe, well run, and meeting place for our communities. Great fresh food with good variety and friendly venders. We look forward to seeing and visiting with them, too.
Patty MacLeish says
The vendors at the Cooperstown Farmers Market are terrific but what really makes it outstanding is the Market managers figured out how to keep the market open during the pandemic. Organizing the volunteers, figuring out how to keep people safe, and planning an online market pickup option meant people got food and could feel safe and vendors could maintain sales all winter. It was such a blessing to have the market during a difficult time.
Ellen Pope says
Thanks, Patty, for stepping up and volunteering too–the market wouldn’t be where it is without our great volunteer squad!
Ingrid Nyeboe says
THE Cooperstown Farmers Market is the most outstanding fresh food market around. We love and we enjoy all the farmers who are kind, attentive and smart. A BIG shoutout to Ellen Pope—she’s a lovely presence and force behind the success of this market.
