Another holiday season is fast approaching, and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County (CCE Oswego County) is eager to host the annual Oswego County Holiday Farmers’ Market once again! Our unique holiday market event, part of the annual “Christmas in Mexico” celebration, is set to take place Saturday, December 7, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Mexico VFW, located at 5390 Scenic Avenue (State Route 3), just north of the Village of Mexico, NY. Free coffee and hot chocolate will be offered at the event.
CCE Oswego County is encouraging county-based businesses that are selling agriculture-related goods to sign up to participate as vendors. The Oswego County Holiday Farmers’ Market is not a craft market; rather, it highlights fresh produce and processed goods like honey, maple syrup, milk soaps and lotions, cheeses, and meats, as well as handmade farm and forestry products such as wreaths, boughs, and wood-carved items.
Space is limited at the VFW, so if you are interested in being an agricultural vendor, please return your completed registration form with payment to the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County office as soon as possible. Registration, due no later than November 15th, is $35 per space. If you need a table provided by CCE Oswego County, the cost is an additional $10 and does not include chairs. Vendor spaces are roughly 8 feet by 6 feet, and vendor setup will begin at 8:00 a.m.
