Celebrating its 16th year, the Pawling Farmers Market (PFM) is continuing and expanding its popular market through October 7 (2023) on the Pawling Village Green. Shop the market on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for fresh and locally grown and produced veggies and fruit, bread, meat, eggs, cheese, microgreens, condiments and more. The market has weekly live music and regular events, such as Composting 101, cooking demonstrations and face painting. There is also a rotating group of artisans that offer beautiful handmade products.

“We’re excited to be able to present more vendors and artisans than ever this year with expanded food and artisan offerings extending over a longer season too,” says Betsy Montgomery, president. 

This year, PFM has sought to make the market more financially accessible to the community by expanding its Feed Your Neighbor (FYN) program. Every week, qualified market shoppers can obtain at least $10 in PFM tokens at the PFM market table by presenting an FYN program card. The tokens can be used to buy food from any vendor at the market. Program cards are available at the Pawling Resource Center to Pawling/Holmes residents or those that work or worship in Pawling/Holmes with financial need.
