Products

Items must be grown, gathered, produced and/or processed on Long Island, NY.

If there are questions regarding the sale of specific items please contact us and/or provide detailed information with your application. Specific products may be granted an exception if produced off Long Island, if such product is unavailable from a Long Island producer, and product is still deemed to be “local” within NY state, or neighboring state.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Competition

We strive to have a wide variety of products at the market from as many vendors as possible. Every attempt will be made to separate competing vendors in the market given that enough space is available to do so.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Music & Marketing

In an effort to attract repeat and new customers to the market and make the Market experience more enjoyable for the vendors/shoppers, we will attempt to have musicians every Sunday, as well as various community outreach tents. Each vendor to donate an item of your choice, which will be presented to the musician in a “thank you package” for their services, or may be used occasionally as a raffle incentive to encourage Farmer’s Market customers to participate in email blasts or advertising special events at the Market, etc.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
