Stuyvesant Farmer's Market Combines Friday Evening River Gazing with Local Farmers/Artisans

Beginning on Friday, June 16, Stuyvesant Landing hosts a new farmer's market at the Historic Stuyvesant Railroad Station. The market will be held on Friday evenings throughout the summer from 4 p.m. until dusk. Several local providers have already signed up and shoppers will be able to "set their tables" from available produce, local dairy products, homemade baked goods and other local products. The market will also have plants in flats and baskets and other specialty items like goat's milk soaps.

"We are welcoming any local producer," says Marilyn Burch, who has organized this new venue. "There is no booth charge or mark-up and we have customers waiting at the door. We've talked it up quite a bit and we expect that there'll be a good crowd to start and a bigger crowd as people hear about it. People are very enthusiastic about this market from what we've been hearing."

Across the street from the market, the Riverview Café will be serving their usual Friday night dinners. Those unfamiliar with Riverview Café's Friday night dinners will definitely want to make a full evening of it.

The Stuyvesant Railroad Station Restoration Committee came up with the idea for a Farmer's Market discussing ways to use the train station. "One day, our train station will be fully back to life," says committee chair, Ken Hummel. "Until then we want to find interesting ways to use the station and let people know we have this historic treasure."
