Pafford Membership Coordinator Kristie Lang said she and fellow Pafford team members were eager to support local farmers and vendors. “We love partnering and working with other organizations in our town. We are community-driven, and our CEO, Jamie Pafford-Gresham, remains an advocate for rural ambulance services. So any time we can participate in community events and work with other rural organizations, it helps us all connect with one another to serve the citizens of Hope and Hempstead County.”

Also in attendance at the market today were Papa’s Honey, VC Farms, Solomon Farms, Salinas Farms, Young Sprouts, and Arnold Farms, providing fresh, locally-grown produce in addition to baked goods, jellies, breads, and other homemade products. 

The Hope Farmers Market takes place every Tuesday morning from 7am to 11am, and vendors provide a variety of locally-grown fresh produce, canned items, baked goods, and homemade products.
