Thank You for Supporting Mrs. Frances Nash's Garden Basket, Our Farmers Market! We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for being part of our Farmers Market this season. From May 28 to October 8, we hosted 19 market days, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support. Here are some highlights from the season: - We welcomed 1,699 customers throughout the season. - Distributed $8,825 in coupons to make fresh, local produce accessible to more people. - Our highest attendance day was August 27, with 183 customers. - We averaged 90 customers each week. - We hosted 15 different vendors, with 5 dedicated vendors attending almost every week: Buffalo Go Green, Massachusetts Avenue Project, Libby's Lemonade, She Cook's 716, and Delicious Delights by D. - Nearly 30 community partners provided valuable resources to our customers throughout the season. - Thanks to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Graycliff, we were able to distribute free produce each week. A special thank you to our generous sponsors—Highmark, KeyBank, and National Fuel—for helping to make this season a success. Your support, along with the commitment of our vendors, community partners, and customers, has been instrumental in the market’s success. We look forward to seeing everyone next year and continuing to make a positive impact in our community! #FarmersMarket #CommunitySupport #Sustainability #LocalVendors #Buffalo #ThankYou
