PEARL RIVER – The Town of Orangetown is looking into bringing a farmers’ market to downtown Pearl River this spring.

“Being aware of the last failed attempt at one, we engaged the manager of another (successful) local farmers market to assist us,” said Town Supervisor Teresa Kenny.

She said the town is also forming a committee and is conducting a survey to gather input on the idea. “We recognize the importance of reaching out to local businesses, including discussions about whether they want to participate in the farmers’ market and how they think it can help drive business to their establishments.”

The survey was posted on the town’s Facebook page and sent out to the town’s email list and has received over 900 responses. Kenny said 99.7 percent where “highly in favor” of having a market and of those, 67 percent said they would shop weekly.
