Thanks Westchester for 9 years as the Best!

The Pleasantville Farmers Market has been voted Best Of Westchester by the readers of Westchester Magazine for a 9th year in a row (2014 - 2022)! The most important aspect in our run as the Best has been the teamwork of all involved. Our farmers and food artisans are incredibly dedicated to their role in providing healthful food for our community, year-round. Our shoppers dependably shop for their families each week while supporting these regional producers. Pleasantville's municipal leaders and staff, the Pleasantville Chamber of Commerce and our Sponsors all provide key support. And our staff and volunteers provide untold hours to ensure this complex event succeeds each week. Thanks to all of you for contributing to the Market so it can provide its best.
