Montauk Farmers Market On The Green Coming Soon

MONTAUK, NY — The sweet tastes of summer and nature's bounty are coming again to Montauk.

The Montauk Farmers Market on the Green returns on June 13 to downtown Montauk and will set up every Thursday during the summer from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The market continues on Fridays from September 9 to October 4.

The fresh market is organized and run by the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, with some proceeds donated to the Montauk Food Pantry each year. Last year’s fees garnered $9,329 for the pantry, the Chamber said.

The market will carry fresh produce from local farmers, baked goods, gourmet specialties and a selection of local wines.

This year, 36 vendors are slated to participate, including six newcomers: Dr. Sauce, Finn’s Smoked Fish, Greenport Beef Jerky, Misooks Ginger Tea, Two Jammin’ Chicks, and Turmeric Boss.

“Our farmers market is not only a way for our residents and visitors to purchase locally grown and produced fresh fare, but also to connect with each other within Montauk,” Laraine Creegan, the Chamber’s executive director, said. “Why, we even saw Lady Gaga and her beau there last year,” she added.

Community farmers markets offer a shopping experience that promotes "a sense of place, something that's important in making residents feel tied to their community," Creegan said. Plus, she added, the markets are a boon for local business, drawing people downtown to continue shopping and dining.

A separate Montauk Farmers Market Facebook Page features recipes for products sold at the market and spotlights market vendors.
