NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKBW) â Cold temperatures and even the pandemic couldn t stop producers from attending the winter farmers market in North Tonawanda and Lockport.
Jonathan Berry of Berry Farms said they ve been setting up in one particular spot for 25 years. We come pretty much every weekend. We have our cabbage down there, we still have our potatoes still, we still got our beets left and some carrots and onions left, said Berry.
He said despite the ongoing pandemic, business has been good. It s actually been really good since the pandemic. I think a lot of people are not going to the grocery stores, they re actually coming back to the farmers markets, supporting their local farmers, he said.
