Winter Farmers Market Comes to Elmwood
I am happy to announce that many of the vendors from the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market, along with a few others, will kick off the opening of the Wintermarket on Elmwood on January 13th. Located inside the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Lafayette and Elmwood, it will be open on Sundays from 1 - 4PM until the Elmwood-Bidwell Market re-opens in May.
This is fantastic news for the entrepreneurs who will have a venue in which to sell their handcrafted and farm-raised products in the "off-season", and it's a great opportunity for the neighborhood as well. I've listed vendors committed to the project below, and you're likely to recognize many of the names from posts that have appeared here on the site.
Still, efforts are still being made to recruit more interested parties. Please contact YUM via email if you would like to be referred to the market's representatives. I'd personally love to see a farmer offering produce, so if you know any looking for a winter gig, send them our way!

So after fireworks and celebrations on Friday and Saturday, some, if not many, Buffalonians will no doubt be hung over and tired. That’s okay.

Between 3 and 6 PM, Cozumel at 153 Elmwood Avenue runs drink specials on Bloody Mary’s and Vodka drinks. A Blood Mary will only cost you $4.50 and a V … - Yesterday, 5:26am

ive always believed this is what we need. but i think the label is a touch off. and indoor farmers market that includes other products, well, id call that a public market - like on broadway. perhaps an all season indoor public market is really what we need in many of our commercial districts and is what this market is/should/could become.
with all the abandoned churches around town, this seems like a natural fit. large open space. generally with commercial kitchens and parking. on elmwood? well unless its north or south of the heart of elmwood, it gets tough. perhaps that firedamaged little number?

This church is just a block North of there. There (meterless) parking on both sides of Elmwood, and a small parking lot on Lafayette, and street parking on Lafayette and St. James, too.
The name is "winter market," not farmer's market. Hopefully, it will expand into some of what you hope for.
Lafayette Church believes in this enough to share its space for free this winter. Come and shop and enjoy!

Alright RD666, sometimes a girl has to do what she has to do and hit the old stock photography file. I try to use original photos for everything, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. Cut me some slack, it's Christmas! ;)

White cow diary's maple yogurt is amazing. I did a class presentation on forums for learning about the community and the benefits of buying local products and they were the star of the show! As a class, EDU416, we left a comment on the Nov 26th Buffalo Rising article, " WBFO, BRO and Local Shopping" we deemed it "date" yogurt!
