Farmer's markets aren't just for the warmer months, they're for every time of year, including the chilly winter season! While fruits and vegetables like watermelon, green beans and tomatoes are in-season during the summer months, fruits and vegetables like cabbage, brussels sprout and clementines are in-season and ready to be eaten during the colder, winter months! 
 
Here on Long Island there are various farmer’s markets to attend, plus, many benefits to shopping at a local farmer’s market! From getting to meet the producer and speak with them face-to-face about their products, to knowing that you’re giving your business to local growers and entrepreneurs, instead of huge grocery store chains, who really appreciate your patronage, there’s good to be had for everyone when Long Islanders opt for local produce. 
 
Take a look below at our list of winter farmer’s markets taking place this season on Long Island! Don’t forget to bring along some cash for those who do not accept credit cards and a reusable bag to be eco-friendly while shopping!
