Public Market Launches New Season at Huntington Park

ONEONTA—The Oneonta Public Market has returned to downtown Oneonta for the 2025 season. As of Saturday, May 3, the market is open every Saturday through the end of October from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Huntington Park along Dietz Street. After October, the market will move indoors to a convenient location.

According to a press release, this vibrant, outdoor public market invites the community to enjoy and support locally grown and produced goods in the heart of the city. From fresh vegetables and orchard fruit to baked goods, trout, maple products, and food scrap collection services, the OPM offers a variety of quality, affordable products from dedicated local producers. Participating vendors include Middlefield Orchard, Thistlemint Organic Vegetable Farm, Mill Hollow Maple, Max Creek Trout Hatchery, Greyspire Farm Artisan Baked Goods, and Worms Waste Not. Both SNAP/EBT and FMNP benefits are accepted at select vendors, helping ensure accessibility for all.

The OPM continues a longstanding tradition of collaboration and community-centered values, officials said, proudly operating under a self-governed, vendor-led structure. In the spirit of mutual benefit, the market will operate alongside the Oneonta Farmers’ Market, providing shoppers with a convenient, one-stop opportunity to experience the best of Otsego County’s local food and artisan scene.

“We’re not here to compete; we’re here to collaborate,” said a representative from the OPM organizing committee. “We know our colleagues at the Oneonta Farmers’ Market are also committed to cultivating a robust local food system, and we are happy to be sharing the space with them.”

The OPM team invites vendors, residents, local business owners, and community partners to reach out, participate, and help build a market that reflects the energy and creativity of the region.
