Shop Local and Support Rockland County Farmers’ Markets

NEW CITY, NY, - Fresh, local food is back in season. Farmers’ markets and farm stands in Rockland welcome residents for another year of healthy shopping close to home.

Markets throughout the county offer a wide variety of locally grown fruit and vegetables, as well as local honey, eggs, flowers, baked goods, and handmade items. The Rockland County Department of Health encourages residents to visit markets to support area farmers and enjoy fresh seasonal foods.

“Farmers’ Markets offer residents access to fresh, healthy produce, while supporting local farmers”, said Dr. Mary Leahy, Rockland County Commissioner of Health. “Buying local also helps the environment by reducing packaging, refrigeration, and long-distance shipping.” 

Bring a reusable shopping bag when you visit farmers’ markets.  Here is a list of farmers’ markets and farm stands in Rockland County:
