The Fairport Farmers’ Market was started in the mid 1970’s by then Village Trustee Patricia Knapp, and continues to be sponsored by the Village of Fairport.
The market has grown & evolved, and now hosts an average of 60 vendors each week in the height of the season. It is well known and respected statewide, and has been seen internationally on a Food Network show segment, and mentioned in the book The Artichoke Trail.
A Saturday trip to the market is the custom for many locals not only for the produce and other goods, but also as a popular place to mingle with neighbors and friends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the market open today?
If it is a Saturday from May to November, then yes! The only Saturday that the market is closed during the market season is for the annual Canal Days festival on the first weekend in June. All other weekends, the market is open rain or shine.
What's in season?
We can't answer that for you, unfortunately, due to the subtle differences in nature each year. All products sold at the market are seasonal, so only offered when ready to be harvested. When the fields are empty, the produce will be no longer available. Your best bet is to ask a vendor when they think they'll have a certain item, and they can give you an idea of when they think it'll be available. They can also let you know how many more weeks they'll have a type of item.
Can I bring my pet?
We're sorry, but we ask that you respect our "no pets allowed" policy by leaving Fido at home.
Is there an ATM at the market?
There are two ATMs available, one on-site at the Bank of America, and another across the street at the Fairport Savings Bank.
Do the vendors accept credit or debit cards?
No, most do not. However, there are two ATMs close by.
Is there parking available?
