Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Corn facts: Antioxidant activity, which helps protect the body from cancer and heart disease, is encouraged by eating corn. Sweet corn is loaded with lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals that promote healthy vision. A midsize ear also offers a helpful 3-gram dose of dietary fiber".

Shop Safe
Shop Fast
Shop PFM-ONLINE!

Pleasantville Farmers Market Online (PFM-O) provides a way to enjoy contactless shopping, reserve items to avoid the morning rush, and to keep your Market visit brief.

If you are a first time user of PFM-O please register by CLICKING HERE. Then use the same link to login and preorder from participating vendors - you can place orders today until 2:00pm (PFM-O is open each week Tuesday, 7:00pm - Thursday, 2:00pm).

How to pick up preordered items?

• Items ordered on PFM-O are collected at vendor’s tents.
• All participating vendors have a sign saying “Preorder From Me Online”.
• In front of vendors that typically lack significant lines "Walk Up Service & Preorder Pick Up" is painted on the pavement. PFM-O shoppers wait briefly with other walk up shoppers to collect their items from these vendors.
• Vendors having dedicated, sizeable walk up lines display a “Pick Up Preorders Here” sign above a yellow "Preorder Pick Up" box painted on the pavement - at these vendors you can skip the walk up line. Step in the box, then step away quickly after receiving your preorder.

PFM-O is also a great way to further support your producers. By preordering items and skipping the line at our busiest vendors you can help reduce the length of vendors' walk up lines (to their relief!) and provide them needed revenue during a challenging year.

PFM-O ABSENCE:
Morgiewicz Produce will be at the Market Saturday but is absent this week from the PFM-O.
