Our market offers a great selection of locally grown vegetables, dairy and meats, farm fresh eggs, fresh seafood, fresh baked bread and sweets, honey, pickles, ravioli, grab-and-go and bake-at-home prepared foods, juices, healthy snacks and more! We also have weekly guest art and craft vendors. All products are grown or produced on Long Island.
