Best of Westchester: Teamwork's the Tale!

The Pleasantville Farmers Market has been voted Best Of Westchester by the readers of Westchester Magazine for a 7th year in a row (2014 - 2020). The Market has always strived to provide the best experience for all involved, and to do so consistently despite any bumps in the road. The most important aspect to highlight in our run as the Best, is that it could not have come about without teamwork.

Our farmers and food artisans are incredibly dedicated to their role in providing healthful food for our community. Our shoppers dependably shop for their families each week while supporting these regional producers. Pleasantville's municipal leaders and staff, the Pleasantville Chamber of Commerce and our Sponsors all provide key support. And our staff and volunteers (Board members and community members) provide untold hours to ensure this complex event succeeds in appearing simple each week.

The generous commitment of all these participants, working in concert, has helped Pleasantville Farmers Market stay on course. Thanks to all of you for contributing to this teamwork, and for enabling the Market to provide its best.

Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Goats milk is a good source of protein. When comparing it to regular cows milk shoppers should note that goats milk contains 13% more calcium, 25% more vitamin B6, 47% more vitamin A, and 134% more potassium. Also, goats milk contains less sugar (lactose)".
