FARMERS MARKET GETS MORE VENDORS, MORE FARMERS, PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT

E Hartsdale Ave has had a farmers market on the avenue during the summer/fall months for over 17 years. We ran one of the first farmers markets in Westchester. Since we started the market many other localities in Westchester have started even more successful markets. The E Hartsdale Ave farmers market has been smaller and less festive than other markets. That's going to change---for the better.

The Greenburgh Town Board issued an RFP earlier this year to farmers market organizers. Community Markets, which runs the successful Croton on Hudson, Katonah-Lewisboro, Larchmont, Ossining, Pleasantville, Morningside Park and Park Slope farmers markets will oversee the management of our farmer's market this summer/fall. There will be no costs to the taxpayers.

There will be more farmers...more vendors...more food and choices. The market begins Saturday, June 19th from 8:30 AM to 1 PM on E Hartsdale Ave.

We are trying to open up a 2nd farmer's market in Greenburgh.
