Callicoon Market draws large crowds STORY AND PHOTOS

BY KRISTINA SUMFLETH

E

very Sunday morning in Callicoon, the streets are abuzz with activity as patrons far and wide flock to the Callicoon Farmers’ Market to peruse the numerous local products that are offered. Organic Callicoon Market fruits and vegetables, Sundays, 11a.m.–2 p.m. locally made honey, fresh May 4–November 16 waffles and even lilac ice Callicoon Creek Park cream are just some of the many reasons people A. Dorrer Drive, Callicoon enjoy the experience.

“So far we are off to a good start,” stated Sullivan County Farmers’ Farmers Market Association President Danielle Gaebel. “It opened [outdoors] on May 4th and the market is strong, people are looking for local food and to support local businesses.”

Forty local businesses have returned this year to the Market, including few new vendors and four organic farmers.

“Everything is going pretty well, there is a different crowd every week and lots of regulars,” said Charles Matthews. “I should have come here years ago.”

Matthews is the owner of Birdhouse Estates and sells his custom designed birdhouses.

Some new designs have also been made to Callicoon Creek Park itself.

Gravel and woodchips were installed a few weeks ago giving the Market a cleaner space and easier walking path for customers. Many vendors love the redesign and in the words of Bob Eckert, owner of Northern Farmhouse Pasta, “the park looks unbelievable.”

The Market has been a fixture in the riverside hamlet since 2000.

“The best way to make it better is to bring a friend!,” said Gaebel.

Stiltwalkers entertained the crowd at last week’s Farmers Market.

Angela Martin, who spends her weekends in Sullivan County, summarized it: “I come here every week, I love it!” She was shopping for bread at Eileen Reimer’s stand, stopping for a few moments to exchange news. It was a scene we witnessed many times on our visit to the market on a Saturday morning.

At the market, you can buy organic vegetables; herbs and herb products including soaps, beauty products, medicinal herbals and teas; furniture and other wood products; wine; natural meat, poultry, and pork; fruit;

jams and jellies; organic dairy products; and readymade, natural food.

The people we spoke with all said they loved to be able to get fresh, natural products and also the act of coming to the market. Here it’s more than a quick trip to the supermarket to refill the empty shelves. Many ven-

dors greeted their customers like old friends, exchanging news and swapping stories, more like “old times” when communities centered around their markets.

The market has tables and chairs with umbrellas for those who want to sit and stay for a while.
