Brief Description: The only indoor farmers market in the region, the Cooperstown Farmers Market is located just off Main Street and is heated in the winter months. The objective of the CFM is to support locally grown produce and locally made crafts. Eighty percent of the goods and produce offered by vendors must be produced within the environs of Otsego County by the vendor, a member of the vendor’s immediate family or a representative. The producer - or in the case of agricultural vendors, the farm - is required to be within a 50 mile radius of the market.

In addition to the quality produce, homemade food and handmade craft items market regulars have come to expect, the CFM is also known through the area for its live entertainment and special theme days. Last year, visitors to the market enjoyed everything from balloon art to beer tasting to book signings. Accepting new vendors, by jury process, as space allows.
