McGolrick Park Down to Earth Farmers Market

In 1991, Down To Earth Markets founder Miriam Haas started the company’s first farmers market in Ossining, NY. At the time, growers were routinely spraying apples with the chemical Alar. Out of concern for the unknown health effects, she set out to connect with clean, local food sources. Two Hudson Valley farmers answered her call, and together they began selling produce directly to shoppers at the weekly market. 

Today Down to Earth Markets manages markets in Westchester and New York City. With over thirty years of experience, we curate each market to ensure shoppers get an exciting diversity of locally crafted products. Our vendors are small-scale farmers and artisanal food producers who work in tandem with nature’s seasons. For us, the word "local" means, “to market and back in a day".

Each community we serve is distinct. From site planning to vendor selection to promoting the markets weekly, we get to know each host environment. Our markets reflect their unique surroundings and create special places for neighbors to meet, shop, and connect.
