About Honeybee Grove
Heading into our fourth year, Honeybee Grove is a cut-your-own flower farm located in the heart of Somers, NY. We offer u-pick seasonal flowers, artisan markets, workshops, private events and more. The u-pick flower portion of the farm will be open for picking during most of our market days from 9am to 2pm.
The farm is located right in the center of town, next door the the Elephant hotel. Our location is ideal for a quick stop on your way to and from wherever you are going on Sunday. Sundays are already our busiest days at the farm, so a farmer’s market makes for a wonderful addition to the day’s activities.
There is a porta-john on site, but no indoor facilities. Access to electricity is limited and generator powered.

FAQs
How Many Years Have You Been Around?
While this will be second year for a farmer’s market, the farm first opened it’s doors in 2021. We have planned and operated several seasonal artisan markets 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, 700 adults.
What are the Vendor Fees?
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 20-22 weeks we'll offer a discounted fee of $800 for the full market season.

Nope! Vendors do not need to commit to every week. If you would like to commit to all 22 weeks, we offer a discounted fee of $792 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 (though even on rainy days we didn’t see much mud last year). 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 8:50am, 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.
