Dryden Agway Celebrating 35 Years As An Independent Business

By Kelly Ritter

Dryden Agway became an independent business in 1984. It has been locally owned and operated since then.  Being surrounded by “big Box” stores and the allure of online shopping, we are quite proud to be going strong all these years! That’s why we are hosting an event Saturday May 18th, to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment! The fun starts at 9am with a craft fair. We will have vendors with jewelry, wood working, soap and herbal remedies. Olea Estates will be here with olive oil, vinegars and herbs. We will have a Mary Kay rep and a Thirty One rep here as well! The craft fair runs until 1pm. From  11-1, Lite 97.3 will be here with a live broadcast! Americana Winery and Bacchus Brewery will be here with samples at that time as well!  At 11:30 Alexanders Food Truck will arrive with his AMAZING MENU! If you have never tried his food, this is your chance to treat your taste buds!  All day we will have great sales like 35% off all Trees, 35% off all bird feeders and 35% off all pet toys! We will also have a drawing for 35 different giveaways!

For the last five years, Dryden Agway has hosted the Dryden Farmers Market. This market is FREE for vendors and the community has really enjoyed it.  We have vendors with veggies, mushrooms, meat, eggs, honey, olive oil, crafts and so much more. We are still accepting applications for the 2019 season. Stop into the store for details. The market starts Saturday June 15th 9am-1pm and will run through September, you can have a look at the best tips for having a remote business and making it work properly.

New this year, we are going to be a drop off location for Shared Roots Farm Organic CSA. This will start in June. We have applications at the store for this as well.

Stop in to see us at 59 West Main Street in Dryden, Monday through Friday 7:30-6:00, Saturday 7:30-3:00 and Sunday 8:30-2:00.

Thank you to all of our customers for the last 35 years!
