HELP US NOT LOSE OUR GENESEO FARMERS MARKET!
To my Geneseo Farmers Market customers: The city is proposing that the market be moved downtown to the City Hall Parking lot. I have seen the Port Byron Farmers Market completely fail as a result of being moved. When the flood waters have moved my Freight House Market, we had only seen about 25% of our customers come.
We would have a smaller footprint for our market, we would not be allowed to work out of our vehicles and told to park 2 blocks away. Sheltering our overflow of product from rain/sun/wind is crucial. On dates the city has committed events, we would be asked to move again(if they allow us a market). The city says that they are trying to help the downtown. There are few businesses open on Saturday mornings that we would help.
Please help us to stop this decision by showing up this Tuesday, March 24th to the City Council meeting, reach out to Mayor Sean Johnson, City Administrator Brandon Maeglin, or any of your ward representatives.
