For years, locals who love fresh produce and family farm products had to go cold turkey when Nyack Farmers’ Market vendors packed up their tents each November. Now, veggies and other farm fresh goods are available year round in Nyack.
Every Thursday until May 2 , from 8a – 2p, Nyack’s Farmers’ Market will operate indoors at the Nyack Center. The indoor incarnation of the Farmer’s market is a collaboration between the Nyack Center and the Nyack Chamber of Commerce. Many of the vendors that have been staples of the outdoor market are now participating in the Winter Edition of the farmer’s market. They share the large, warm, well-lit sanctuary of the former Presbyterian Church with some new faces.
Here is a roster of all of the vendors at the new indoor winter market. So while you’re doing your seasonal shopping in downtown Nyack, remember this cornucopia of edible gifts and delicious ingredients on the corner of Depew and South Broadway.
