“The list will go ‘live’ December first and be active through December 15 on Thatscooperativeextension.org.

The mission of the event is to bring vendor and purchaser together in one place, online. Buying local provides financial support directly to the local economy.”

“Oswego County is a rural county, with a prosperous agricultural community,” Forestiere said. “The diversity of land allows for the growth of a variety of agricultural products including onions, apples, meat, cheese, wine, maple syrup, honey, berries, plums, peaches, and a wide variety of vegetables. The agricultural community in this county generates $41.2 million in annual revenue from 612 farms. Our Holiday Farmers’ Market showcases this abundance and helps our local economy.”
