As we get ready for the outdoor winter market at the Plaza, we want to thank all of you for shopping with us this year, rain or shine (and this winter when the weather is "brrrrr!"). Your on-going support of our producers is so helpful, especially during the winter months. And while the weather may be getting colder outside, did you know many New York crops are still in season? From apples to root vegetables, there's an abundance of fresh, delicious produce you can find at the Market for a late autumn meal. If you’re curious to learn more about about shopping seasonally chat with your producers and learn more about New York’s harvest seasons by visiting: https://www.agriculture.ny.gov/harvest-chart
