The contest requires participants fill in an entry for at least five categories -- please vote for all local, small restaurants and businesses that have earned your loyalty in the past year!

The magazine's format to vote has some initial steps (sign in with an email, then register, and then input a confirmation code) -- please stick with it to get your votes in!

Lead Sponsor Northwell Health Tip:
"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." Chaseholm Farm Creamery, Edgwick Farm and Bobolink Dairy offer a terrific selection of artisanal cheeses - special in flavor, in method, and in the ethical treatment of their herds. Health Tip brought to you by Northern Westchester and Phelps, your local Northwell hospitals.

Market Intern Program
The Market is accepting applications from area students, grades 8 - 12, for the our winter Intern Program. For information email info@pleasantvillefarmersmarket.org.
