After nine years of dedicated service, Gouverneur Farmers Market Manager Linda E. Brown of Richville is stepping down for her position due to health problems,

“Thanks to all of the people that have helped me and the weekly market vendors and people visiting the market,” Mrs. Brown said in an interview with the Gouverneur Tribune Press. “I’ll still be around the market to visit.”

Mrs. Brown has been a member of the Gouverneur Farmers Market since 1976 and has made many friends.
