Early Season Market Opens!

This Week — March 5, 2023

It’s a new year, and a new season of Brighton Farmers’ Market is about to begin! The Market’s Early Season opens this Sunday, March 5, from 10 am to noon. It will be held indoors in Brighton’s Brookside Center, 220 Idlewood Rd., Rochester, with easy access to the facility from S. Winton Rd. It’s just barely March, a little too early for much produce from these hardy upstate farmers, but there will be plenty of good local products to whet your appetite for the full season to come! The Early Season continues through April 2. The Market will close on Easter, April 9. The Main Season opens April 16, 9 am to 1 pm, in the Brighton High School parking lot, 1150 Winton Road S. See you Sunday!
