It’s the most exciting time of the year for many Western New Yorkers: farmers market season! The Kenmore Farmers Market is a catch-all for a plethora of scratch-made food producers and produce growers. Stop by the intersection of Delaware Road & Delaware Avenue this Sunday morning as the Village of Kenmore kicks off the 2025 farmers market season. Sundays from June 15th through October 26th, the Kenmore Village Green (located at 2919 Delaware Ave.) comes alive with tent after tent of the area’s best food producers and loads of excited community members eating and visiting! This food-based, producer-only market hosts a fantastic line-up of nearly 60 fresh and prepared foods with a strong commitment to craft production. Market director, Lauren Willett-Benson states, “We’re growing bigger and stronger each year with more to offer our neighbors! The Kenmore Farmers Market is a special kind of community marketplace. The visitors are warm and supportive and our collective of vendors is diverse, innovative, and collaborative. Our main mission is to provide WNY neighbors with the opportunity to shop directly from friendly small businesses and forge connections with local makers, producers, and growers while learning about their product and process. When people buy from people they’re supporting livelihoods and families right in our own regional backyard.” Fan favorites include seasonal fresh local produce, raw honey, gorgeous baked goods including warm loaves of bread, artisan bagels, cookies and decadent sweet treats, handmade dumplings and knishes, small-batch coffee (hot and cold press!), fresh pressed juices, pantry staples such as olive oil, pickles, roasted nuts, pet treats, herbal products, wine and spirits, and even beautiful cut flower bouquets for the table or hanging baskets for the porch. This year there will be vegetable and herb seedlings to get your very own home garden started as well as high quality soil! Hungry? Grab a hot breakfast sandwich, mini pancakes, pizza, smoothie, acai bowl, or visit the mobile creperie. Unique items at the market this year include allergy friendly baked goods (vegan and gluten free), wildflower mead, microgreens, fermented small batch hot sauces, and artisan ice cream sandwiches! Each week the market hosts a small selection of guest vendors as well as two local artisans for gift-worthy shopping. The market opens this Sunday morning in tandem with Father’s Day and runs from 9am-1pm through the fall. Opening Day boasts a collaborative effort with Kenmore Porchfest featuring live bands all day long in a special “unplugged” format to preview and promote their incredible event happening June 22nd throughout the Village of Kenmore. The market continues the season with live music each week, visits from the Erie County Mobile Library, a balloon artist, and other special pop-ups— this is a family event that you won’t want to miss. There is ample parking within walking distance of the market including free public parking available in municipal lots behind businesses that line Delaware Avenue, as well as on surrounding residential streets.
