The Ithaca farmers markets are run by a cooperative
representing over 125 growers and food producers, all
located within the immediate vicinity of the town. Markets are
held four days a week at two different locations. The largest
of the markets, on Saturday, occupies a pavilion at Steamboat
Landing. The smallest of the weekly markets is this one, in
downtown Ithaca, at Dewitt Park.

The group's Web site proclaims, “Our
is not a ‘farmers market’ where vendors buy crates of broccoli
from afar and repack it to sell to you. Every vendor who
applies to join the market must have their products
juried by a committee of their peers, to assure quality
and originality. |
And what they’re selling must be grown or
crafted within 30 miles of Ithaca…That’s Local to the Max!”
