Community Events and News
University Community Farmers Market -- Saturdays, June 5 - Oct. 16, 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Location: UB South Campus on Main Street at Kenmore Avenue in Buffalo, NY
Parking is available right behind the market by entering campus across from the University Plaza on Main Street
The University Community Farmers Market began in 2007 as a community event to bring fresh produce and market goods and
support local business in the neighborhood. Each year more vendors and events are added to make the market an enjoyable
community gathering place for all.
This market is a collaboration between the University at Buffalo, the surrounding South Campus neighborhoods and local
organizations to promote wellness and community sustainability through the availability of fresh produce and
locally grown food.
In 2009, the market attendance doubled over the previous season! Come visit in 2010 to support this dynamic local program.
This season the market is being managed by Gail Willsky.
