With summer less than two weeks away, farm-grown fruits and vegetables will soon be in plentiful supply at Batavia’s Genesee Country Farmers’ Market. The popular open-air market begins its 2010 season this Tuesday, June 15, in the parking lot at Batavia Downs Casino.
In addition to farm-fresh produce, the market will also feature home-baked goods like bread, rolls, pastries, pies and muffins.
Member wineries of the Niagara Wine Trail will once again offer a wide variety of local wines to taste and purchase. And a new addition this year is a lunch wagon serving sandwiches, drinks and desserts. About 20 vendors are expected to participate.
In making the announcement, Market Manager Paul Fenton said “We are looking forward to our third season at Batavia Downs Casino. It’s an easily accessible spot for all of our customers and is convenient for the many patrons of The Downs, too.
"We are proud of the fact that we are a grower’s market and everything we sell is grown by our vendors.”
The market will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday through Oct. 29.
