Thank you to the owners who helped to organize this event, and those who attended. At the Forum, a number of important issues were raised surrounding the Board of Directors recommended bylaw changes. We discussed their implication on our co-op, expansion plans, owner participation, and other general concerns. Please visit http://www.srfcforum09.wordpress.com for complete notes on the forum. You can also browse the recommended changes, and leave your comments. What do you think about these changes? A follow up Forum will be held Thursday, August 13th. We need volunteers for this event! Please e-mail amanda@syracuserealfood.coop if you are available to help make phone calls about the forum, set up for the event, or clean up after the event.

The market will be open from 2:00pm to 7:00pm every Thursday until the last day of the market, currently slated for October 30, 2008. This community-driven market features fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables. We are excited to announce that the Brownson Family Farm and Owen Orchards will return for our second season with their wonderful selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. We are also happy to welcome several new Central New York farmers to the market, including the Albrin Fruit Farm (known for their cherries), and Su Su’s Farm (known for its Vietnamese specialties). Last but not least, the Syracuse Real Food Cooperative will be teaming up with Grindstone Farms and Black Brook Farm to offer a wide variety of organic produce. All farmers participating in the Syracuse Eastside Neighborhood Farmers’ Market will accept WIC and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) coupons as well as food stamp benefits. New for this year, the market will also be able to accept all major CREDIT/ DEBIT cards through its wireless EBT service. We are the only local farmers’ market with this capability. At the Grand Opening, community agencies and organizations will be present to provide information and giveaways on a variety of health, wellness, and community programs and services. Please come out and enjoy the neighborhood, the park, the new playground set, and welcome our new and returning farmers to an exciting second season! Background: The Syracuse Eastside Neighborhood Farmers’ Market is sponsored and supported by the Community Foundation of Central New York and the Westcott Community Center, and has partnered with the Loguen Park Association, Farmers Market Federation of New York, SUNY ESF Center for Community Design Research, Syracuse Real Foods Cooperative, and Grace Episcopal Church. The mission of the Syracuse Eastside Neighborhood Farmers’ Market is to host a market that improves neighborhood food security, supports local farmers and businesses, teaches youth entrepreneurship skills, while enriching the cultural heritage and community life of Syracuse’s Eastside neighborhood through educational and cultural programming.
