Winter Harvest? Yes, of Course!

The winter season has a harvest thanks to our talented Pleasantville Farmers Market producers. Winter-growing farms offer fresh items such as herbs, microgreens, kale, chard, carrots, scallions, leeks, radishes, bok choy, and they have cellared root vegetables too. Regional grains, summer-grown and stored in the fall, are sold as raw ingredients for your baking, and they're in many fresh baked goods offered at the Market. Summer has been bottled as honey, chutneys, and sauces. Farms selling proteins have abundant items of pork, beef, duck, and chicken. Eggs continue to arrive, and are also a key ingredient in fresh pastas. Our fisherman has some seafood only seen during winter months. Our orchard has over twelve varieties of apples stored so they remain crisp, winter squash, and fresh cider. With a winter harvest of interesting options, menu planning remains full of potential. And when you want to take it easy in the kitchen, the Market has a number of prepared food items made with regionally produced ingredients. Your weekly support directly helps all these farmers and food artisans. Make a difference, and a delicious menu, by shopping at the Market throughout the winter season.

SOME WINTER DETAILS

Please note that winter season hours are 9:30am-12:00pm, and we're open RAIN or SHINE.

SNOW?! If a weather-related closure is required due to ongoing snow on a Saturday, we send out a special Friday newsletter announcing that closure, and post a notice to our website's homepage and social media.

Our vendors offer products for WALK-UP purchases December through March. A few vendors also have set up their own methods for shoppers to be able to PREORDER products if they wish. That information is listed below:

Lead Sponsor Northwell Health Tip:
"Health experts have emphasized the significance of reducing sodium, and increasing potassium levels, in the US diet. Sodium intake can be lowered by swapping processed foods for more fresh produce. And potassium occurs naturally in produce such as fresh beets, beet greens, Swiss chard, radishes, spinach and squash." 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.
