Noreen Whitney, a regular vendor at the Brighton Farmers’ Market, describes the market as a family.
“We all have our own niche, but you become like family,” she said.
Despite the unfavorable weather, she greeted customers June 3, selling her famous jams and jellies.
In hopes of promoting a healthy, sustainable local food system, the Brighton Farmer’s Market brings in almost 50 vendors from the region each Sunday to provide the community with fresh products.
Set in the Brighton High School parking lot, the market runs through Oct. 28, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market had been scheduled to move to the Brighton Town Hall parking lot on July 1, but will now remain at the high school for the entire season.
Whitney has been selling at farmers markets and county fairs for almost 23 years now, making over 140 different types of jams, jellies, marmalades and preserves. Based at Nordic Farms in Branchport, Whitney uses both her own ideas and her customers’ suggestions to create new types of products.
Like Whitney, each vendor has his or her own speciality. Ranging from fresh fruits to baked goods to natural maple syrup, visitors have much to enjoy at the market, including weekly special events and guests.
