Hudson Valley Farmers Markets Are Blooming For 2021

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Forsythia and farmers markets — two ways to know it’s spring. And all around the region, many farmers markets are reopening or expanding their schedules, some even moving to new quarters.

Even year-round markets like the one in Nyack are shaking off the winter and coronavirus blues.

"Now that the sunshine is warm again, we recommit to keeping up our mask hygiene and social distance practice and expect to have a great spring," said market Manager Bill Batson.
