Farmingville, NY - The weekly Farmers Market that takes place every Thursday afternoon in the lobby at Brookhaven Town Hall in Farmingville has been such a big success this summer and fall, it will be extended for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays on Tuesday, November 26 and Monday, December 23. The new dates will make fresh produce, flowers, spirits, baked goods, jams, pickles and fresh homemade pasta, all conveniently available before these two holidays. Pre-orders for baked goods and other fresh produce can be placed with Bakewicz Farms at the Brookhaven Town Farmers Market on Thursdays until October 31, or by calling the farm directly at 631-849-1120. Sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven and the Long Island Farm Bureau, this weekly NYS Agriculture & Markets sanctioned Farmers Market was established in 2018 by the Town of Brookhaven’s Agriculture Advisory Committee to encourage residents to buy Long Island fruits and vegetables and bring attention to the Town’s many farms and produce grown right in our own backyard. In addition to selling fresh produce, the market also features wine, spirits, flowers, seafood and other Long Island harvests. The weekly Farmers Market in the lobby at Town Hall is currently open every Thursday from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm and will run until October 31; the Market will then return on Tuesday, November 26 and Monday, December 23, also from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
