Farmers wanted for Thruway farmers markets | Environment

Local farmers are wanted for the “Tailgate Farmers Markets” at selected travel plazas along the Thruway.

The New York State Thruway Authority is looking for farmers to participate in the markets which open in mid May and continue through Nov. 1, depending on the availability of product.

The markets offer fresh farm produce to drivers on the Thruway and also give farmers the opportunity to sell and promote their products and produce.

Participation in the markets is limited to New York farmers and growers who grow local fresh fruits, vegetables, edible herbs, cider and horticultural products and only produce grown in New York State will be accepted.
