Winter Plan In Place!

The Pleasantville Farmers Market will be in Memorial Plaza again this winter. For opening day December 4, the Market will shift to a "preorder & pickup" model with all vendors and all products present in Pleasantville Farmers Market Online. December through March customers may place orders online, pay with a single click, and then enjoy quick, contactless pickup on Saturdays (9:00am - 11:30am). Though some vendors may have items for spontaneous walk-up purchase, the key to the Winter Market succeeding is the speed and convenience of preordering. Collecting preorders is efficient for shoppers, lessening time in the cold. Focusing on delivering preorders enables vendors to work a shorter market day, keep a smaller staff and avoid the effort of displaying inventory that might freeze. This winter support your producers using PFM-O, keeping you connected with your favorite foods, year-round.

Please note our schedule for the upcoming months:

• November 20: last 8:30am - 1pm market
• November 27: Market closed
• December 4: first winter 9 - 11:30am market
