GOSHEN – Several farmers markets in Orange County opened this week, with many more opening in the coming days.
Most markets operate through October or November.
“Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to support the local economy,” Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said. “These markets are important to our farming families and provide us with fresh, healthy produce. I hope residents will continue to support our local farm stands and markets this summer and fall.”
Countywide, there are more than a dozen markets to explore when the season is in full swing. In addition to farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, there is a wide array of artisan dairy products, gourmet prepared foods, adult craft beverages, honey, locally raised meats, cut flowers, live plants, and more available for purchase. Many markets also feature live music to set the mood for a fun, family-friendly, shopping experience.
