Farm fresh, direct to you!

Double Your SNAP Dollars Every Week!

MARKET DAY IS THIS TUESDAY, JULY 9! St Monica Church 831 Genesee St. Rochester, NY 14611 Go here for directions and parking information The days are long, the air is sweet, and there's so much abundance coming this week. See you Tuesday! New Vendor Alert! Prime Beef Brothers will be with us again this week and for the rest of the market season! Check out what their website here! They’ll be selling top quality beef and steak butters. Use SNAP to purchase your steaks and use the FREE FreshConnect  checks to bring home all the peppers, onions, mushrooms and other grilling veggies you could wish for.   Help us welcome Prime Beef Brothers this Tuesday and bring your summer grilling to the next level! Meet founder and family man Frank Navarro Jr! DON'T FORGET! New York State has doubled SNAP/EBT dollars at farmers markets! Every two SNAP/EBT dollars a customer spends are matched, effectively doubling your money. How does this work? When you arrive at the Westside Farmers Market, look for our market info tent: it has a big sign that reads “SNAP/EBT Accepted Here.” We will swipe your EBT card and give you SNAP tokens for use at our market in the amount you request. For every two dollars you exchange for tokens, we will supply an equivalent amount in Fresh Connect checks.  Tokens and Fresh Connect checks can be exchanged for any SNAP eligible item such as bread, dairy, produce, meats, fish, eggs and more. More dollars to spend means more local, fresh, filling, and healthy foods for you and your family! Stop by the market info tent for information. Calling all crafters and makers! We are often asked to include some one-of-a-kind items made here locally so each year we gather to do just that. This year's craft nights are taking place on August 6 and September 10. We are now accepting applications for all kinds of makers to be a vendor for some of our most popular Tuesday events! Would you like to be a vendor this year? To apply, fill out the this application form or visit the vendor info page. Applications are due July 21 for the August 6 event and August 28 for the September 10 event. We look forward to seeing this year's art and creativity! July is moving along quickly and we will be seeing the very last of the strawberries- but with their departure we are looking forward to local peaches, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, and much more. Are you wondering what to do with all this abundance? Stop by Canning with Colette and enter her raffle to win her easy to follow canning book and a complete set of canning equipment.  Grab some of her NEW low sugar homemade jams and jellies and unleash your inner canning queen or king! Live music fills the air at the market with The Road Less Traveled this week! They have been frequent guests of the Westside Market over the years and we are happy to welcome them back.  If you can, please consider tipping our musicians. They play because they love music and being part of the community. Thank you! A sneak peak of what's fresh this week See our full list of vendors here.  Want to become a vendor?

Community Resources This week we will have the Repair Cafe and St. Peter's Kitchen coming to meet with shoppers and share important information and opportunities to build a healthy community together.
