We’re back on track - sorry for the delay. It’s a new year and a new decade, time for a new dance step. Hold my hand for a spin…

      What started out as a small celebration has turned into quite the tumultuous event. I remember my father saying most of the guys in the Army wanted to spend New Years at home while he was one of the few that would rather be home for Christmas.

For the last 200 years agriculture has played a major role in Central New York. Recently there has been a movement amongst consumers in this area to take advantage of the tremendous bounty of this area through farmers markets. All summer long these markets have provided wonderful fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy products to urban and rural consumers. While some think winter signals the end of these local treats, farmers and producers continue to grow and provide many great products. In order to help get these great products to consumers there will be a Farmers Market every third Saturday of the month (Jan 16, Feb. 20, March 20 and April 17) in Dave’s Diner at Common Grounds  in Cazenovia from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
 
The producers from the summer Cazenovia Market were invited and though some do not have products to sell in the winter, many are attending. Frosty Morning Farm will offer dried herbs and soaps; Drover Hill Farm will bring their dry aged beef and pork, farm fresh eggs from Brick Farm and baked goods and mixes from Organically Hip. Other local producers will also attend. Heamour Farm will offer their fine hand crafted cheese, Full Quiver Farm has homemade breads, Cazenovia’s Primo and Mary’s Heritage salsas and pestos and Loomis Homesteads Maple products.
 
The Cazenovia Winter Farmers Market will be a great opportunity for all to come out and enjoy Central New York’s bounty. While you are there you can enjoy a coffee or lunch at Dave’s Diner.
