The Sodus Farmers’ Market provides an avenue for the community to shop and buy locally grown, nutritious food and to connect with the farmers who grow our food. The market operates out of the parking lot of the United Third Methodist Church on Belden Ave. Sodus, NY.
There are several parking options in the immediate vicinity. The 2023 market team members are: Sandy Hall, market manager, Sandra Hamilton, Sue and Daryl Minier, Gloria Mayou, Lorri Brandt and Lynn Polochock. In addition, a Community Advisory Team guides the Market team with its suggestions and insights. Another generous group of volunteers, “Friends of the Market,” help set up and break down the market and offer helping hands to those in need. More “Friends” are always welcome.
