Springing Ahead!

Pleasantville Farmers Market can help you get into spring with three farms that indoor grow fresh greens (Little Seed Gardens, Maple View Farm, Gajeski Produce), a greenhouse that brings flowering plants to brighten your home and yard (Simply Planted Greenhouses), and too many additional vendors with delicious foods to list here (though they are all listed in PFM-O). Regular hours are back (8:30am - 1:00pm), our new marketplace layout is in place, and many vendors are returning after a winter away. Preorder to help your shopping be brief, or browse as a walk up shopper to be spontaneous with your purchases. See you at the Market!

NEW PARKING PATTERN

April 2, the marketplace moved to the south end of Memorial Plaza (near to Bedford Road) and customer parking relocated to the upper part of the parking lot. These adjustments accommodate the Village's Manville Road Improvement Project in 2022.

4/16: METERED PARKING AT PLAZA BEGINS

On April 16th the Village of Pleasantville will transition Memorial Plaza parking lot to metered parking. The Village's Pango smartphone app and a new pay station will be available for all metered streetside and Plaza lot parking. Parking meters have stickers (and QR codes) that indicate the parking zone—and parking lots have signs posted with zone numbers. Have your license plate number handy for when making payment at the pay station. Download the free Pango app for iPhone or Android devices, and follow the prompts to set up an account and method of payment. There is a 16% service fee charged by Pango. The app will deliver a reminder message five minutes before time expires, and (in most locations) time can be extended via the app.

PREFER FREE PARKING?

For more parking options get to know the "hidden parking lots of P'ville", especially the free ones! In addition to Memorial Plaza, there are 8 parking lots within a few blocks of the Market (6 of them offering free parking). Between all these parking lots and dozens of street meters, there are over 400 parking spaces available. Review them all by clicking here to view our NEW and updated map of parking lot locations.

Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Authentic artisanal cheeses aid digestion through the presence of enzymes and/or anti-viral MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides). They also contain less salt than processed cheeses, and none of the dyes, preservatives, stabilizers and other unnecessary ingredients found in more conventional cheese products".
