Farmers Markets, Summer Stands For the Summer

Hi All,

It's summer and that means fresh fruit and vegetables for all.  Imagine those crisp cucumbers, lovely tomatoes and mouth watering watermelons.  Don't forget those awesome strawberries, berrylicious blueberries and other fresh fruits and vegetables.

And while your local Stop 'n Shop or King Kullen or Waldbaum's or Best Market might have fruit and vegetables, Farmers Markets and Summer Stands have superb fresh fruit and vegetables as well.

But where do you find these farmers markets and summer stands you ask?  Great question - and read on for more information.

Farmingdale Patch wrote this article back in June of this year - titled 'Long Island Farmers Markets, Farm Stands to Check Out This Summer' - which is a great starting point for all things 'farmer market related'. The article has a list of Farmers Markets in both Nassau and Suffolk county. Included in the list is the location of the farmers market.  Also included are dates and times when the market is open to the public. Note that there are at least twice as many markets in Suffolk County as there are in Nassau County.  Which kind of makes sense because Suffolk is closer to farms on Long Island!

Click on this link to go to Google Maps so you can plan and get directions for all the trips to the Farmers Markets and Summer stands that you'll be making this summer!

Enjoy the link and the healthy fruits and vegetables that you'll find at the various farmers markets!
