December through March the Market's winter hours are 9:00am - 11:30am. Though some vendors may have items for spontaneous walk-up purchase, the key to the Winter Market succeeding is the speed and convenience of preordering. Collecting preorders is efficient for shoppers, lessening time in the cold. Focusing on delivering preorders enables vendors to work a shorter market day, keep a smaller staff and avoid the effort of displaying inventory that might freeze. This winter support your producers by using PFM-O to keep connected with your favorite foods, year-round.

• Early Closure October 30: CLOSING at 11:30am
• November 20: last 8:30am - 1pm market

Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following "The benefits of antioxidants show up everywhere, but the synergy that occurs between the vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytochemicals, and antioxidants when we eat whole foods may best reduce the risk of some serious chronic conditions and cancers. Eat more whole plant foods and do so frequently".
