National Farmers Market Week!

We're thanking our producers for a great market, every Saturday! Rock steady through too much rain, too little rain, cold winters, and hot summers - our producers remain a dependable and essential source of regionally grown, healthy food for our community.

Join us as we celebrate National Farmers Market Week to highlight the value farmers markets bring to local communities. Markets with regional farmers and food artisans sourcing them for ingredients contribute by preserving farmland, stimulating local economies, increasing access to nutritious food, supporting healthy communities, and promoting sustainability. That's a lot of value!

August offers the peak of summer's harvests. Gajeski Produce, Mead Orchards and Dobler Farms have fresh corn, melons, squash and more. Little Seed Gardens and Maple View Farm also have mounds of gorgeous produce. Summer tomatoes are everywhere now. Wright's Farm and Mead Orchards have berries and just picked stone fruits. Our dairies have great cheeses. Four farms have meats for the grill and Pura Vida Fisheries has just-caught seafood from off Montauk's shores.

Enjoy using your kitchen to celebrate summer and the great work of these producers!
