There are several options for attending winter farmers’ markets in Central New York, but none are quite like the Circa Farmers’ Market, which opens for the season this Saturday, December 1st. Held at Circa Restaurant in the Village of Cazenovia, this market is strictly for producers only.
Circa Restaurant chef and owner, Alicyn Hart, has been hosting this market now for 3 years. “It has offered our customers the opportunity to meet, visit, and query the other farmers who bring to fruition Circa's goals of serving simple honest local fare…” said Chef Hart. “We've added and subtracted vendors, still adhering to the suggestion of limiting it to Circa purveyors.”
The idea started in 2010 due to a lack of markets in Cazenovia. Circa Farmers’ Market is a producer only market. Just as unique as Circa restaurant is to CNY, so are the participating vendors some of whom are selling items such as bison meat, pastured lamb, artisan cheeses, and grass fed butter.
This Saturday, Renate Nolan, cheesemaker extraordinaire of Dutch Girl Cheese, will be providing samples for market customers utilizing her exceptionally crafted cheeses combined with acorn squash from Lucky Moon Farm and meat from Ingallside Meadows. Renate will continue to supply sumptuous samples throughout the season. For details each month and updates don’t forget to like Circa Winters Farmer Market on Facebook!
The Circa Farmers’ Market will be held the first Saturday of the month beginning in December and continues through April. Doors open at 9am and while the market closes at Noon, feel free to hang around for an exquisitely prepared lunch, featuring menu items created from the many products found at the market.
Vendors at this year’s market include Meadowood Farms, Salt City Coffee, Ingallside Meadows Farm, Lucky Moon Farm, Empire Buffalo, Dutch Girl Cheese, Alambria Springs Farm, Lynnie Lynnes Gluten Free Bakery, and Kriemhild Dairy Farms!

The past couple of years has seen a recent explosion in the number of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in Madison County.  Most of these farms have specialized in vegetables, eggs, cheese etc.  Now a group of local farmers has launched a meat CSA including pork and beef deliveries on a regular basis.
