Looking for local vendors for: veggies, mushrooms, fruit, cheese, dairy, meats, hot sauces, pickles, breads, baked goods, soups, beverages, salsas, herbs, honey, maple syrup, and more! Please, no resale goods. We will carefully curate our vendor selection so as not to have much overlap in product offerings - allowing better sales opportunities for or participating vendors.

  • Why Here?

    The farm is located right in the center of town, next door the the Elephant hotel. Somers does not yet have a farmer’s market and our loyal visitors are excited for the idea. Our location is ideal for a quick stop on your way to and from wherever you are going on Sunday, and the u-pick farm will be open to the public for those wishing to make a morning of their visit. Sundays are already our busiest days at the farm, so a farmer’s market will make for a wonderful addition to the day’s activities.

FAQs

How Many Years Have You Been Around?

While this will be our first year for a farmer’s market, the farm first opened it’s doors in 2021. We have planned and operated two seasonal markets each year during that time. Our opening season market - Daffodil Day and a closing season market - Mistletoe Market, highlight local artisan makers. Each of these markets have drawn on average, 350 adults.

What are the Vendor Fees?

For our first year our vendor fee will be $45 per week, as we appreciate you taking a chance on a first year market! Expect vendor fees to go up slightly next year.  Vendor fees are non-refundable and help cover the cost of marketing, advertising, employees and market related necessities.  We will NOT be taking a percentage of your sales.  If you would like to commit to all 20 weeks we'll offer a discounted fee of $800 for the full market season. 

Do I have to commit to all twenty weeks?

Nope! Vendors do not need to commit to the full twenty weeks. We do ask that you commit to a minimum of10 out of the 20 weeks and must choose those weeks by May 18th for marketing purposes.  If you would like to commit to all 20 weeks we'll offer a discounted fee of $800 for the full market season. 

What does set-up look like?

Vendors are required to have a 10 x 10' tent and be prepared for display outdoors, rain, shine or snow.  Tents must be properly weighted down.  The ground is relatively flat where the vendor tents will be located, but we will be in a field so the ground is slightly uneven and potentially muddy.  Once unloaded, vendor parking will be available close by (walking distance) at the Elephant Hotel next door. Vendors can start setting up at 7:30am on Sunday and must be fully set up by 9:00am, cars cleared. No vendor may pack up and leave early. Vendors are responsible for supplying their own tents and tables and displaying their goods in a neat, clean and pleasant looking manner. Vendors are required to display a Certificate of Insurance and comply with all Westchester County Department of Health or NYS Agriculture and Markets rules and regulations, as applicable.


What is the Market layout like?

The farm is located behind a commercial building. There is visitor parking available in the commercial lot for this building. We have a flat grassy area between the parking lot and our two main gardens, and this is where the farmer’s market will take place. This area of the farm provides for easy access for loading/unloading for our vendors as well as easy drop-in ability for quick shoppers. There is a porta-potty on site and a cold water sink for hand washing, within the public garden. The backdrop of the farmer’s market will be our picking gardens which are in full bloom from end of July to mid October.

Do I have to be there in person to sell my goods?

The answer is yes. You personally, as the owner of the business, do not need to be on site, but a staff member of your business must be present to set-up your tent and vendor space, and work your vendor booth for each market day.
