Farmers market shoppers know their input matters. Mesclun, specialty eggplants, arugula, heirloom tomatoes and many other items now commonplace at markets began as shopper suggestions to farmers at markets. The Pleasantville Farmers Market also values customer input. Please take a moment now and help make your market better by participating in our annual survey (participants are eligible for a prize drawing of Market Bucks and Market t-shirts!)

Phelps Health Tip
Herbs: Fun, Healthy, Delicious
Market Lead Sponsor, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center shares the following advice:

“Herbs are a great way to slide some antioxidants and phytochemicals into your diet. Add them to your salads, add dill to your fresh fish, mint to your cabbage, or basil to your tomatoes. Herbs make your menu more fun, more healthy, and more delicious!”

Need Help Carrying That?
July 25 places us into the optimal growing season for so many vegetables: summer squash, peas, greens, eggplants, peppers, and more. Loading up on produce can mean loading up on plastic bags. If you want fewer plastic bags in your kitchen and lifestyle, the Market has convenient, sturdy tote bags, made from 100% recycled plastic. And while they are pretty, they aren’t a pretty penny: one bag costs $3 and two cost $5. Stop by the Manager’s Tent and have one of our interns assist you.
