Co-op

As a Small Business Incubator, the members of this Co-op cleared the land, erected two 65 x 100 foot steel buildings and a state of the art, environmentally sensitive restroom facility. Since then, they have erected a third sales building, also 65 x 100 foot, and a 30 x 50 foot pavilion which is used by produce and occasional vendors, as well as community service organizations. Parking is ample for the 2000 or so visitors each Saturday. The rest rooms, like all of the facility, are fully handicapped accessible. Ten-foot wide aisles invite the baby stroller, as well as the wheel chair. Many of our visitors have taken a personal interest in Cross Roads, and in specific shops within Cross Roads. This Co-op has received donations of trees, flowers, services and materials from friends, neighbors and people who "just want to keep it growing".

Chautauqua has long been known for the quality and creativity of its artists and artisans and Cross Roads has brought many of the finest to this permanent location. Each undergoes a jury process to ensure the quality and diversity of the products offered. At Cross Roads, located between Westfield and Sherman on County Road 21, you’ll meet each "designer", you’ll watch the artisans at work (painting, sewing and much more), and you’ll be able to commission special works just for you. The 25 or so shops are individually owned and managed by the vendors. These small shops pack a big wallop. The personal, friendly atmosphere delights customers, along with the knowledge, skill and artistry of all the members.

Consider bringing your existing retail, real estate, or "your dream" business to The Cross Roads Farm & Craft Market. The weekly rent is less than a small display ad
