A massive two-alarm fire destroyed Bauman’s Farm Market in Penfield/Webster early on July 22, 2026, destroying the main market building and an adjacent barn while leaving most greenhouses reportedly unharmed. The Bauman family confirmed that no people or animals were hurt, and they expressed gratitude for the safety of loved ones as they assess next steps. Firefighters from multiple departments worked through the night, with road closures in the area and ongoing hotspot checks as investigators look into the cause. The scene also highlighted the market’s long history and generational family operation dating back to 1908, as neighbors and local communities offered support. Officials noted that security alerts alerted the family around 2:30 a.m., and the surrounding intersections were temporarily closed to accommodate emergency response. In updates and public statements, the family emphasized gratitude for first responders and the need to determine next steps while keeping people safe.
