Rain or Shne Market!

Deja Vu? Last week we had a rain issue until 8:45am. This Saturday we may have a similar damp start, perhaps clearing after 9:30am. Our farmers and food artisans will dependably bring the antidote to all this unstable weather: great food!

All you have to do is bring your umbrella and reusable bags to be able to tote home ingredients for a week's worth of inspiring summer meals. If we get lucky and the weather is dry Saturday afternoon too, remember to shop from the Market's farmers and food artisans for a delicious picnic to enjoy at the Pleasantville Music Festival.

The Market is always open rain or shine. Weather permitting on Saturday we'll also host a Bits & Bites nutrition event, a second Girl Scouts craft project for kids, and a performance of classic and modern acoustic rock & pop with the Quasi Normal Band. (Event details and times are further down this newsletter).

WOW! Pleasantville Farmers Market has been voted Best of Westchester for an 11th year in a row due to the teamwork of everyone involved:

• Our farmers and food artisans are incredibly dedicated to their role in providing healthful food for our community, year-round.
• Our shoppers dependably shop for their families each week while supporting these regional producers.
• Pleasantville's municipal leaders and staff, local Chamber, Sponsors, and Business Supporters all provide key support.
• And our staff and volunteers provide untold hours to ensure this complex event succeeds each week.

Thanks to all of you for contributing to the Market so it can provide its best every week, every year.

Lead Sponsor Northwell Health Tip:

"Authentic artisanal cheeses aid digestion through the presence of enzymes and/or anti-viral MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides). They also contain less salt than processed cheeses, and none of the dyes, preservatives, stabilizers and other unnecessary ingredients found in more conventional cheese products". Brought to you by Northern Westchester and Phelps, your local Northwell hospitals.
