NORWICH - Commerce Chenango would like to announce the planning of a farmers’ market in downtown Norwich. This project is a significant undertaking, and the organizers are looking to garner community support.

The Chenango County Agricultural Development Council and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Chenango County are looking to bring a functioning farmers’ market to downtown Norwich, set to run on Thursday afternoons.

This would occur in the marketing season of 2025, from May to autumn. The organizations are also considering an indoor winter market in the Norwich area for the winter of 2024-2025.

There will be an exploratory planning meeting in support of these two initiatives on Tuesday, September 10 at 12:00 pm at the CCE Center in Norwich at 99 North Broad Street. Any interested vendors and other attendees who are invested in seeing this project be implemented are invited to attend.

If you would like to attend the luncheon, you must make a reservation no later than the close of business on Friday September 6. RSVP by calling Rich Taber at 607-334-5841, ext. 1121, or email rbt44@cornell.edu. A complimentary light lunch and refreshments will be served to those who attend.
