Growing Season!

The Pleasantville Farmers Market is the place to enjoy seeing the growing season roll out, with new items arriving from our farms and orchards every week. That's true with our cut flower farm The River Garden too. This week you can choose from phlox and other fresh cut flowers, our season's first garlic scapes, fresh strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus, kohlrabi, head lettuce, frisee, collard greens, kales, radishes, broccolini, chard, pea shoots and more. See you at the Market!

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Recent changes in NYS COVID-19 regulations have enabled us to modify our health & safety protocols for customers at the Pleasantville Farmers Market -- balancing changes in mask use with a marketplace that remains the same in terms of distancing, layout and the option to wear a mask as an extra precaution if preferred. Our updated policies are:

• Vaccinated shoppers may visit the Market without wearing a mask
• Unvaccinated shoppers are requested to still wear a mask covering nose and mouth while shopping
• The Market is collecting documentation of vaccinations for vaccinated vendors and Market volunteers who wish to be in the marketplace without a mask
• NYS regulations still require markets to maintain all distancing measures at this time

The Market will continue to re-evaluate its health & safety protocols as NYS updates their rules and regulations for farmers markets.

DON'T MISS YOUR SHOT!

This Saturday, 9am -1pm, visitors to the Market (18 and older) can get a shot of COVID-19 vaccine, thanks to Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health and their partner the Ossining Volunteer Ambulance Corps. It's FREE! No insurance needed. First come, first served. Please bring ID to verify age.
