Brookside Market Gardens is a very small farm in the Town of Fenton, in Broome County, NY. I, Linda Dittmar, own the farm, and do all the growing and marketing myself, which necessarily limits the potential size of the operation. I grow a variety of vegetables, and a few small fruits. Anything I grow is grown organically, although I have not sought certification, due to the size of my operation. I
n order to round out my offerings at Farmers Markets, I purchase additional produce, especially fruit, from other farmers to take to market. What I purchase may or may not be grown organically. I try to get produce that has had minimal spraying, but this is not always possible. I sell my produce in the months of July, Aug, and Sept. at Farmers Markets in Delaware County that are sponsored by Delaware Co. Cooperative Extension: Sidney on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday, Walton on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays and Deposit on selected Thursdays from 10 to 2. I accept Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks from WIC clients and senior citizens. I also take WIC Fruit and Vegetable checks, personal checks, and cash. I CANNOT accept SNAP payments at this time.
