Expanded New Rochelle Farmers Market Opens Saturday

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The Farmers Market in downtown New Rochelle opens for the season June 1. And it's going to be bigger than ever.

The expanded market will offer local fruits, organic greens, artisanal breads and cheeses, pickles, home-made desserts, locally-roasted coffee, hand-crafted soaps, pasture-fed meat, and fresh cut flowers from local farms at the Sprig Flower Truck.

There will be market food preparation demonstrations and a knife-sharpener will be there on the first Saturday of every month, including opening day. Live music and special events for children ensure a fun time for the entire family.

The New Rochelle Farmers Market is held weekly from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays at Ruby Dee Park at Library Green, through October.

This is a whole new market, with a whole new attitude, run by Morning Glory Markets, the same folks who run the popular Farmers Markets in Hastings-on-Hudson, Bronxville, Chappaqua, Irvington and at the Bronx Botanical Gardens.

The New Rochelle Farmers Market is brought to you by the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) with support from the City of New Rochelle, Montefiore Hospital and Bulfamante Landscaping. Weekly market children’s events are part of the popular BID Family Days organized with the New Rochelle Public Library.
