Sweet Summer

Our season is at a crossroads at the Pleasantville Farmers Market. Treats like sugar sweet plums are available. And a summer's worth of sun has brought us peaches, melons and sweet corn. But the first glimpse of fall is arriving in early varieties of apples (Honeycrisp, Ginger Gold and more). Nevertheless, summer remains the star of the show this week with crops like eggplant peaking. Try to fit in some pleasant, slow meals to celebrate the season. The meals you make now can provide tasty memories when you look back later this fall.

Phelps Health Tip:

Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "The antioxidant vitamin C, when eaten in its natural form (in whole foods such as peaches) or applied topically, can reduce wrinkles, improve overall skin texture and help to fight skin damage caused by the sun and pollution. Vitamin C also plays a vital role in the formation of collagen, the support system of your skin".

2020 Census Bags Are Out

Is your 2020 Census in?

We thank the Village 2020 Census Committee for their donation of free totes last week, and for their hard work in helping our Village and County achieve census success. If you've not already done so, please fill out the census. And spread the word! We only have until September 30th to reach our still uncounted residents.

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.
