There are over 20 farmers markets in Westchester County, and they are not all the same. Some are massive Saturday operations with live music and 60+ vendors. Others are quiet farmstands with a handful of tables. A few run year-round through indoor winter setups. Most of the guides out there just list addresses and hours, which doesn’t actually help you figure out which ones are worth your Saturday morning.
We’ve been to a lot of them. Here’s what we know.
The ones to know
Pleasantville Farmers Market
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1 PM | Memorial Plaza, Pleasantville
This is the one. Voted Best of Westchester by Westchester Magazine for 11 consecutive years, 60+ vendors, live music, cooking demos, and a real community feel. If you only go to one market in the county, go here. The winter market moves indoors to Pleasantville Middle School (December through May) so you never have to stop going.
SNAP benefits are doubled up to $40 here — spend $40, get $80 — thanks to grants from Phelps Hospital and Northern Westchester Hospital. Nine nearby parking lots, so parking isn’t the nightmare you’d expect.
Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow (TaSH)
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1:30 PM | Patriots Park, Tarrytown
Forty-plus vendors, strong bakery and fermented goods selection (sourdough, kombucha, kimchi), and kids activities. In the fall, the Sleepy Hollow connection makes this one feel seasonal before you even get to the pumpkins. The winter market runs January through April indoors at John Paulding School.
Katonah (John Jay Homestead Farm Market)
Saturdays, 9 AM–2 PM | Downtown Katonah, Lot 2, 190 Katonah Ave (temporary location while John Jay Homestead is being restored)
Heavy on certified organic and biodynamic offerings. The vibe is artisan and intentional — this isn’t a grab-your-tomatoes-and-go market. Members get a “First Pick” window from 9–9:30 AM before the general public, which is a nice touch. They send a Friday email listing which vendors will be there Saturday. Their 16th season in 2026.
Muscoot Farm
Sundays, 9:30 AM–2:30 PM | 51 Route 100, Katonah
A farmers market set on an actual working county farm. Twenty-five-plus vendors, and kids can see the farm animals while you shop. The setting alone makes this one of the most Instagram-friendly markets in the county. It opens in May and runs through fall.
Irvington Farmers Market
Sundays, 9 AM–1:30 PM | 101 Main Street, Irvington
A solid Sunday option in one of Westchester’s most walkable villages. Good mix of produce vendors, artisan bakers, cheese mongers, and fish. Pair it with a walk through town or coffee at one of the shops on Main Street.
Neighborhood favorites
These are the markets that might not draw crowds from across the county, but people in those towns swear by them.
Ossining
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1 PM | Corner of Main & Spring Streets
Year-round (indoor winter market at Claremont School, January through March). Strong community feel in Ossining’s revitalized downtown. Pair it with brunch at 3 Westerly down on the waterfront.
Hastings-on-Hudson
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1 PM | 131 Southside Avenue
Small-to-medium, but with a real emphasis on sustainable farming and getting to know the people who grow your food. Runs year-round with an indoor winter market on alternating Saturdays. While you’re there, wander Hastings — it’s one of the most charming river towns in the county.
Bronxville
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1 PM | Stone Place at Paxton Avenue (May through November)
The vendor lineup rotates each Saturday, so every week is slightly different. The Bronxville village setting is about as pretty as it gets for a morning errand.
Chappaqua
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1 PM | Chappaqua Metro-North Station
Right at the train station, which is convenient if you’re coming from elsewhere. Runs through December. A solid mid-county option.
Larchmont (Down to Earth)
Saturdays, 8:30 AM–1 PM | Larchmont Metro-North Station, Chatsworth Ave
Year-round. Part of the Down to Earth Markets network (which also runs Rye and Scarsdale), so many vendors rotate across those three locations. Accepts SNAP/EBT with Fresh Connect matching checks.
Peekskill
Saturdays, 9 AM–2 PM | Bank Street (June through November, indoor winter market at Field Library)
Peekskill is a designated arts district, so the market has a more creative vibe than some of the buttoned-up southern Westchester ones. Worth combining with a walk through the galleries.
Sunday markets
If you’re a Saturday-is-already-taken person:
- Irvington (9 AM–1:30 PM) — the quality pick
- Muscoot Farm, Katonah (9:30 AM–2:30 PM) — the experience pick
- Rye (8:30 AM–1 PM) — look for Grigoli’s pastries and Cano Coffee
- Scarsdale (8:30 AM–1:30 PM) — Down to Earth network market
- Pelham (9:30 AM–1 PM, through December) — small and local
- Croton-on-Hudson (9 AM–2 PM, through December) — river town charm
Weekday options
For the flexible-schedule crowd:
- White Plains — Wednesdays 8:30 AM–2:45 PM, Court Street downtown. The only major mid-week market.
- Somers — Fridays 8:30 AM–1 PM at Honeybee Grove. Small, country feel, local honey.
- Yonkers — Fridays 12–5 PM at Van der Donck Park (near the train station). Also a Thursday market at Saint John’s Church.
- Dobbs Ferry — Fridays 9:30 AM–4 PM, Cedar & Main Streets. More farmstand than full market.
What to look for this fall
If you’re going to the market in September, October, or November, here’s what’s in season — it changes more than you’d think from month to month.
September is when summer and fall overlap. You’ll still find late-season tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and the last of the corn, but early apples start showing up (McIntosh and Honeycrisp peak early in the month). Pumpkins start appearing mid-September. Fall raspberries too.
October is peak. New York is the second-largest apple producer in the country, and October is when you feel it — Cortland, Fuji, Golden Delicious are all at their best. Winter squash arrives: butternut, acorn, delicata, kabocha, spaghetti squash. Root vegetables take over — beets, turnips, parsnips, sweet potatoes. Look for Concord grapes (a true New York crop) and mushrooms: oyster, hen of the woods, shiitake. Cider season is in full swing.
November belongs to storage crops. Winter squash, potatoes, onions, carrots, beets. Hardy greens like kale, collards, and late spinach. Preserved goods — jams, pickles, ferments — start filling the vendor tables. This is when the indoor winter markets are about to start, so keep an eye on Pleasantville, TaSH, and Ossining for their switchover dates.
Vendors worth finding
A few names that show up at multiple markets across the county:
- Sprig Flower Truck — a refurbished retro plow truck converted into a mobile flower shop. You’ll know it when you see it. Very photogenic.
- Dan Madura Farm (from the Black Dirt Region) — fresh eggs and wild/cultivated mushrooms (oyster, hen of the woods, shiitake)
- Grigoli’s — pastries, found at Rye and rotating locations
- Cano Coffee — local coffee vendor at Rye and southern Westchester markets
The Down to Earth Markets network (Larchmont, Rye, Scarsdale) shares vendors, so if you miss someone at one market, try another.
When the outdoor markets close
They don’t all stop. Five markets run indoor winter versions:
| Market | Winter location | Season | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pleasantville | Pleasantville Middle School | Dec–May | Sat 9 AM–1 PM |
| TaSH | John Paulding School | Jan–Apr | Sat 9 AM–12:30 PM |
| Ossining | Claremont School | Jan–Mar | Sat 9 AM–1 PM |
| Hastings-on-Hudson | Indoor location | Dec–May (alternating Sat) | 9 AM–1 PM |
| Peekskill | Field Library | Winter months | Sat 10 AM–2 PM |
Larchmont runs year-round in the same outdoor location.
Make a morning of it
A few pairings we like:
- Pleasantville market → walk around the village, coffee at one of the cafes on Wheeler Avenue
- Ossining market → brunch at 3 Westerly Bar & Grill on the waterfront
- Hastings market → Saint George Bistro for lunch, walk the waterfront trail
- Irvington market → stroll Main Street, check out the shops
- Muscoot Farm → stay on the farm, let kids see the animals, bring a picnic blanket
- Peekskill market → explore the Peekskill arts district and galleries
Hours and dates listed here are based on the 2026 season. Markets occasionally adjust schedules, so check their websites or social pages before you head out — especially later in November when some start winding down.
