Winterizing The Market! We'll Need Your Help...

Involved in winterizing your home and vehicles for the upcoming season? We hope you'll join us in preparing the Pleasantville Farmers Market for the winter too.

To start, if you haven't registered yet to use Pleasantville Farmers Market Online (PFM-O) please click here to do so. If you have not used PFM-O in a while, try it again so you're reacquainted with the system.

From December - March the Market has shorter hours to limit exposure for customers and vendors. Some produce is only available by preorder (ie: apples and greens are not displayed when it's very cold). PFM-O offers a wider variety of items than is brought by vendors for walk up purchases. And though most vendors will have items for walk up, orders are faster to dispense when preordered, so the use of PFM-O is ideal to keep the Market successful for shoppers and producers in the colder months.

Next week Gajeski Produce will rejoin PFM-O in time for Thanksgiving preorders. After a Market closure on 11/26, we'll reopen for 12/3 with every all products our vendors offer listed in PFM-O, and the shorter Saturday hours of 9:00 - 11:30am.

This Saturday: Alpacatrax and Sharper Harper are in. The River Garden will offer stunning dried floral items (weather permitting). Many vendors are making their final visits before Thanksgiving (or for the year) so carefully look over the list of vendors below and see who you need to stock up from. The Market is at peak in fall harvest items so don't miss some of the most delicious shopping of the year. (Note Living Edge Designs adjusted their visit to next week, 11/19).

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

• November 19: last 8:30am - 1pm fall market
• November 26: Market CLOSED
• December 3: first 9 - 11:30am winter market
