I know it's late in the season but I have to give a shout out for the farmers market in Garden City on tuesdays. I recently decided to make it a must each week and I'm thrilled I did. It has:

1) a veggie vender with basics and really interesting beets (four varieties), carrots ( 3 varieties), tomatoes (heirlooms and), cauliflower (3 varieties),etc.

2) bread person with interesting varieties

3) Italian pasta, really fresh, really soft mozzarella,cold cuts

4) Greek pastry lady

5) Fresh friut and pie vender; lately apples and pears,etc.

6) Honey vender

7) pickle vender with several pickle related relishes various pickles

8) 1 or two others that slip my mind

They set up in the southeast corner of the parking lot between the two court houses.

Enjoy

spoke to mrs. terry last week , she said they plan to keep the market in g.c. open till thansgiving, they plan to stop the market in hempstead at the end of this month.

that g.c. market sounds interesting but im not able to get to that area on a tuesday. as i previously mentioned i go to my hometown market in lynbrook. not as large as the one in g.c. but is getting more popular. with a pickle guy-oops lady, a farmer who sells quiches,pies,doughnuts,cider,organic eggs and milk,another farmer with fresh corn,lettuce and other veggies. theres also a vendor selling chips and sauces,and two others-one from queens who sells bobkas and other breads,and a pasta vendor from brooklyn named papa pasquales. the quality of all vendors is very good and many items are sold out by 930. i would get there before 8 am for the best pickings. the market ends its year on sunday november 18th.

[byrd]

it's the same exact vendors, give or take one on any given week.

[mrbeachy]

yes that is true. i do wish that there were more weekend markets,especially in nassau county. btw i believe that tomorrow is the last day for the gc market by the courts. i do know that lynbrook has its final day on sunday 11-18.

I'm new in the area. I used to frequent the markets in the city. How many vendors are at the Lynbrook market? What are the main products sold?

[mrbeachy]

its usually around 6-8 vendors on a given sunday. scroll up to my october 29,2007 post for more information.market should open for the season on sunday june 1 2008.

Thanks. The market in the city sells seafood. I used to get my vegetables and seafood there. From your prior emails it doesn't look like this market doesn't have a seafood vendor. Nothing beats fresh fish and produce in the summer.

[mrbeachy]

there is the possibility of having a fresh fish vendor at the lynbrook market for the first time this year.its in the discussion stage. most markets open for the season in either may or june:check the ny state dept of agriculture and markets website for more information.

Terry's farm has everything for veggies, incl. heirloom stuff, fresh beans and greens. Golden Earthworm Farms is all organic with a limited selection but it's all perfect. Olive oil guy, flower lady, generic Italian food guy, and a fruit stand with semi-local stuff. Get there early for the best pick, it gets fairly crowded.

[MrPhil]

What did you think of it? Are there many vendors?

[MrPhil]

I'm curious if anyone has been to the farmers market in Huntington. Saw it listed in the link and while I'm Nassau, it actually closer (and more accessible time wise)

[howund09]

The market in Huntington is in the municipal parking lot across from the old town hall( now a realtor), adjacent to the church on 25A on every sunday until Thanksgiving.

thanks for the information. i do know about the lynbrook market i have shopped there many times and the quality is very good to excellent-its the only weekend market in southern nassau county.it closes for the year on sunday november 19. it doesnt start till the first sunday in june. i am thinking of contacting lynbrook village hall to see if they would consider starting the market in april or may rather than june; lynbrook will have a new mayor as of april 2007 and may be receptive to that idea. the lynbrook market is at the corner of stauderman avenue and forest avenues behind the eckerd drug store. it is not easily visible from sunrise highway-supposedly the village has now put up signs.
