SCHOHARIE — Many people agree that Schoharie County needs a centrally located, easily accessible farmers market. Since last spring, an exploratory committee has surveyed community members and local producers, held productive community meetings to discuss the results of the surveys, and the county’s Agriculture Development Specialist has applied for grant funding to pursue this goal.

The next step in the process of creating a new farmers market is the formation of a Board. Local agricultural producers, vendors and community members who are interested in participating in the formation of a farmers market are invited to apply to serve on the farmers market’s founding board by completing a brief application (linked here). Applications should be submitted by September 30, 2025. Applicants will be invited to participate in brief online interviews in early October.
