Changes to Bradford Farmers' Market
Bradford Farmers' Market to join forces with Pitt-Bradford's Center for Rural Health Practice, Canticle Farm
The Center for Rural Health Practice at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, is joining forces with the Bradford Farmers’ Market and Canticle Farm to bring locally-grown produce to downtown Bradford.
The Bradford Farmers’ Market will operate from 8 a.m. until noon on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, beginning July 10, in the parking lot of Old City Hall on Boylston Street in Bradford.
The Bradford Farmers’ Market is sponsored by Bradford’s Downtown Bradford Business District Authority. Initially started more than 15 years ago, the market has struggled in the last few years to attract produce vendors at its location in Veterans Square.
The change of location will provide vendors with a better area in which to set up their wares, said Anita Dolan, Main Street Manager, and a safer, less-trafficked location for customers. The help of the Center for Rural Health and Canticle Farm has guaranteed that fresh produce will once again be available at the market.
Canticle Farm, a non-profit Community Supported Agriculture Farm from Allegany, N.Y., will bring certified organic produce.
Other greenhouses and local growers will provide produce in-season, including apples from Rocky Ridge Orchard near Kane, vegetables from Evergreen Elm and more.
In addition to produce, items available at the market will include baked goods, preserves, hand-crafted items, plants, herbs and local maple syrup and honey.
The Center for Rural Health is also applying for a grant that would provide tents for vendors as well as nutritional education and children’s activities at the market.
New vendors are welcome. For more information, contact Dolan at (814)598-3865.
