100 Things To Do: #75 Peruse the Farmer's Market

Why be hassled with growing your own corn and chasing down bee hives for honey if you can find that and more at the . 

Every Saturday, local residents look forward to picking up some of the freshest fruits and vegetables here on Long Island. This is the second year the has organized the after last summer’s success.

In fact, the past year was so popular that local vendors have already filled all of the slots for this season — this year, at the height of the summer, the market expects to have nearly 42 vendors participating and as many as 1,800 people accessing it each week. The vendors sell vegetables in addition to other locally grown flowers, made honey, baked goods and dog treats.  

Different from other markets, market vendors need to grow, raise or create their product on Long Island. Whether it is fresh fruits or vegetables grown locally, organic eggs for sale from locally raised chickens or sauces, honey and local yarn, customers are buying for the quality and the consistency of the product.

The market is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
