Natural Awakenings Westchester / Putnam / Dutchess New York

Farmers Markets in Westchester & Putnam, NY, this Summer 2011: Farmers Markets offer the opportunity to sample many farms in one place, and meet some neighbors in the process.

John Jay Homestead in Katonah, site of a new farmers market this year.

A new market opened in Katonah this summer, and it’s creating a buzz in the local food world. The John Jay Homestead Farm Market features local produce and dairy from such small farms as Amba Farm in Bedford Hills, JD Farm in Brewster, I & Me Farm and Cabbage Hill in Mount Kisco, Burren Farm in Katonah, Mobius Fields in Waccabuc, North Winds Farm in Pawling, and Hudson Milk Company in Shrub Oak.

Three area Farmers Markets did not reopen this summer, including the Mount Kisco and Mamaroneck market that was run by Community Markets, and the small Kent/Lake Carmel market at the Lake Carmel Recreation Center Parking lot. The Hartsdale Market, which was operated by Community Markets last year, is now run by Westchester Greenhouse for the town of Greenburgh.
