Seasons Change

The calendar shows that next Tuesday summer departs and fall begins. But for a few more weeks shoppers of the Pleasantville Farmers Market can enjoy fruits and vegetables that represent both summer's exit and fall's arrival. If shopping for Rosh Hashana this week, our vendors will have items that are traditionally sought for the holiday. Get out to the Pleasantville Farmers Market Saturday, the weather looks great, and there is no better time to enjoy the bountiful harvest our farms bring to the Village.

Phelps Health Tip:

Great advice when it comes to purchasing fresh, seasonal food from regional farms. Tomatoes, peppers, carrots, apples, leafy greens all just have one ingredient: themselves!"

Shop PFM-ONLINE!

You can place orders TODAY until 2:00pm (PFM-O is open each week Tuesday, 7:00pm - Thursday, 2:00pm).

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.

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 ABSENCES:

Morgiewicz Produce and Campanelli's Poultry Farm will be at the Market Saturday but are absent this week from the PFM-O.
