The Main Street Marketplace in West Seneca is a new farmers market that opened in late spring 2014…read more Open each Thursday from 4 - 7:30 pm through the summer, it is situated on the "grassy knoll" directly on the West Seneca town property corner on Main and Union. In wet weather, it moves down to the parking lot in front of the Ice rink. Parking is available behind the Police/Town offices and Library area.
I've been able to go a few times and have been fairly impressed for being a new market/area just getting its footing. They feature about 20-30 vendors and have carefully selected those of good quality without having 10 of the same type of product. Listed from their facebook page (which is updated weekly) the vendors are: Alpine Made, Biscotti for Everybotti, BRD's Forever Farm, Chateau Buffalo, Chow Chocolat, Donna's Pepper Jelly & Jam, Fernwood Enterprises, Gelato Gypsy, Great Harvest Bread Company, Hanzlian's Sausage & Deli, Hard Pressed Farm, Jackie's Kitchen Garden, JJ's Jams, Keeping Traditions, Kornerstone Coffee, Lilies of the Field, My Father's Fudge, Pet Connection Programs Inc., Plato Dale Farm, Susie Cuke's Pickle Company, Sweet Dream Maple Farm, The Pasta Peddler, Village Grove Bake Shop, Weiss Farm, William's Florist & Gift House.
Food to eat right there is available from Dukes Donuts, House of Munch, Just Pizza, and DogEars Cafe. Most weeks, depending on weather, I have seen just about every vendor there. They feature a weekly charity/group and have some sort of entertainment from a brass small ensemble to guitar/singer duo for a couple hours of the market.
Vendors are all friendly, offer generous samples, and have decent prices. While this is something you probably won't be able to do all of your weekly shopping at, it is a nicely accessible market for this area of the suburbs for some specialty purchases, fresh produce, or just a nice walk-around and snack. I like that they did not try to be too big, too fast and I look forward them continuing to grow here in West Seneca.
