Vendor Events in New Rochelle, NY

New Rochelle's Down to Earth Farmers Market runs weekly from June through mid-November at Twin Lakes Park on North Avenue, making it a reliable source for locally-grown and prepared food throughout the growing season. This weekly farmers market brings together regional producers who sell everything from seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs to artisanal cheeses, farm-fresh eggs, baked goods, and house-made jams and preserves. The market operates Friday mornings from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, giving Westchester County shoppers a regular opportunity to connect directly with the farmers and food makers behind what they eat. Farmers markets like this one differ from grocery stores and other retail spaces by offering direct vendor-to-customer relationships and products that are typically fresher and more seasonally focused than what you'll find elsewhere. Vendors at New Rochelle's Down to Earth Farmers Market reflect the agricultural heritage of the Hudson Valley region and surrounding areas, rotating their offerings based on what's in season each week. In early summer, expect to find berries, greens, and early vegetables; mid-summer brings stone fruits, tomatoes, and peak produce variety; fall transitions to apples, squash, root vegetables, and preserves made from the season's harvest. The market is designed to be accessible to a wide range of shoppers. It accepts credit cards alongside cash, and participates in the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program as well as the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (Senior FMNP), which means eligible participants can use federal nutrition benefits to purchase fresh produce directly from vendors. This makes Twin Lakes Park's weekly market a practical destination for families, seniors, and home cooks looking to buy quality ingredients while supporting local food producers in New Rochelle and the broader Westchester area.

The New Rochelle Farmers Market is a Friday farmers market operated by Down to Earth Markets in partnership with the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District. Vendors are small-scale farmers and food makers offering locally grown fruits and vegetables, pasture-raised meats and eggs, local seafood, honey, small-batch baked goods, pickles, and artisanal products. The market requires vendors to be farmers or food makers using local farm ingredients, with limited exceptions for certified sourcing of olive oil, chocolate, and coffee. The Thomas Paine Cottage Museum location at 20 Sicard Avenue provides a scenic park setting with additional community amenities nearby. SNAP EBT, Fresh Connect Checks, and WIC/FMNP checks are accepted. The market operates Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the growing season.
