Saturday the Pleasantville Farmers Market is tie dyed in colorful activities and colorful foods. This is the week of the popular Tie Dye T-Shirt Day, when kids and adults can create custom Market t-shirts to take home. Our Music @ the Market series presents the roots-rock hybrid Greetings From Anywhere. The Market has a “Let’s Talk” Health & Sustainability event highlighting World Breastfeeding Week. The Pleasantville Farmers Market customer annual survey is open for your input, so please fill one out on-line or while visiting the Market (participants are eligible for a prize drawing of Market Bucks and Market t-shirts). And our farmers have an incredibly colorful selection of items, representing one of the most exciting months at the Market. Stop by the Market Saturday to gather the freshest peaches, berries, plums, corn, eggplant, summer squash, tomatoes, cut flowers and more.

Let’s Talk: World Breastfeeding Week
Local. Sustainable. Renewable. That’s what human milk is. World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated from August 1 - 7 globally. The theme this year focuses on working women and making breastfeeding work. Information on Baby-Friendly Hospitals and the The NYS Milk Bank will also be available. This Let’s Talk event is held in collaboration with Phelps Memorial Hospital Center and the Phelps Milk Bank.

Breastfeeding & Work: Let’s Make it Work
“This year’s World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) supports a woman’s need for time, space, and support, especially in the workforce. Human milk is known for its many benefits for infant, mother, and environment. For some additional information visit Positive Media Blitz on Facebook and #positive breastfeeding.”
This Upcoming Week Is
National Farmers Market Week
Secretary of the USDA, Tom Vilsack has officially designated August 2nd - 8th as National Farmers Market Week. Here are two fun ways to celebrate farmers markets: (1) Keep shopping and enjoying your market - doing so preserves rural livelihoods and farmland, stimulates local economies, increases access to fresh foods, supports healthy communities and simply is a delicious way to make a difference. (2) Visit a farm - this Monday the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County is holding a High Tunnel & Greenhouse Tour of our vendor Neversink Farm. Space is limited and pre-registration is required in advance. To learn more about visiting this innovative farm Monday, August 3
