Ithaca Farmers Market Claimed

Please be sure to check our hours and locations that vary by season here.

We’ve been cultivating earth and community since 1973.

Come, relax and take in the sites of one of the country’s best farmers markets. Our market and vendors are all about promoting “joyous commerce.” We make it fun to shop, and to connect to your community.

We operate from a belief that local goods are a linchpin of our economy.

The Ithaca Farmers Market is an owner–operated cooperative market with over 160 members, who grow or produce their wares within 30 miles of the pavilion. You’ll find a full spread at the market with something for everyone — hot prepared foods for those in need of a meal, a full spread of vegetables, fruit, pastured meat, bakeries, and exceptionally crafted artisanal gifts for your loved ones.

At the market, you know it’s fresh. You have the opportunity to buy right from the grower. Sometimes, they just picked it that very morning! And if one of our artisan’s work strikes your fancy, you know it was skillfully and creatively made by the person you’re buying it from. Spectacular breakfast and lunch offerings provide something for everyone’s taste… whether it’s local flavor or from a host of international cuisines.

On Saturdays and Sundays from April until December, we are located in a beautiful park on the Cayuga Lake waterfront at the historic Steamboat Landing, selling local products from an award-winning covered pavilion. We also operate three other markets within the City of Ithaca to better serve our neighborhoods. In addition, from January through March our winter market operates out of The Space, Greenstar’s event space. For more information, see our visit us page.

We offer an ATM on site for your convenience, and at the market information desk you can exchange EBT payments for tokens that can be used like cash for market products.

We are your year-round destination for local.
