Farmingville, NY - Supervisor Ed Romaine has announced that the weekly Farmers Market at Brookhaven Town Hall in Farmingville will be open every Thursday from June 4 through the month of October. The market will be held outside on the lawn directly in front of Town Hall from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This weekly New York State Agriculture and Markets sanctioned Farmers Market was established by the Town of Brookhaven in 2018 to encourage residents to buy Long Island fruits and vegetables and bring attention to the Town’s many farms and the produce grown right in the consumer’s backyard. Along with fresh produce, wine, flowers, baked goods, homemade bath and body products and more will be available for purchase. Social distancing safety protocols will be practiced, and all vendors and shoppers must wear a protective face covering mask.
Supervisor Romaine said, “The Farmers Market has become a tradition at Town Hall and eating healthy is important during these times. I thank the Long Island Farm Bureau, the members of the Town’s Agricultural Advisory Board, and the farmers who make fresh produce easily available to our residents. I encourage everyone to support our local farmers now and throughout the year.”
