Farmers’ Market offers Summertime Tuesday Hours
The Cooperstown Farmers’ Market will be open on Tuesdays, 12 pm – 5 pm in July, August, and September. The Summer Tuesday Markets are in addition to the Saturday Markets, which run from 9 am to 2 pm.
“The Tuesday Markets provide another opportunity to enjoy and take advantage of summer’s bounty. People who work nearby can stop in on a break and pick up fresh produce, grab lunch, or shop for locally made goods,” says Karrie Larsson, Market Manager at Otsego 2000.
The Tuesday Cooperstown Farmers’ Market features:
“The Tuesday Farmers’ Market is Cooperstown’s newest lunch spot, with soup from Alex Webster of Alex’s Picnic, paninis and breakfast sandwiches by Jesse Pascale from Rock Hill Farm, and baked goods and vegan take-away meals from Pam DiLiberto at By the Handful. There’s a great selection of local items that will raise your summer picnics to the next level.”

Four farms will be offering fresh produce each week and there will be several vendors selling farmstead cheese, baked goods, grass-fed meat and charcuterie, local honey, homemade hummus and pesto, native New York State plants, CBD products, and organic skin care.
“Tuesdays are a great opportunity to come and take your time at the Market as it is substantially less crowded than Saturdays,” says Jesse Pascale from Rock Hill Farm. “We are also there for people to catch on their lunch break and for people who are coming just after work.”
Located at 101 Main Street in Pioneer Alley, the Cooperstown Farmers’ Market is open on Saturdays throughout the year. Saturday hours are 9 am - 2 pm, May through December, and 10 am – 2pm January through April. In addition, during July, August, and September, the Market is open on Tuesdays from 12 pm – 5 pm.
