When:

Fridays: Dooryard Garden: 1-2 PM for members at the Seedling level and above; 2-4 PM for the general public.

Saturdays: Courtyard: 1-4 PM for the general public

Sundays: Dooryard Garden: 1-2 PM for members at the Seedling level and above; 2-4 PM for the general public.

What: 

A lovingly picked, just harvested selection of Stone Barns’ fruits and vegetables. This past Saturday, produce for sale include purslane, bok choi, beets, carrots, and garlic.  Other items available included bagged herbal teas, chicken, and the freshest eggs out there! 

According to several of the staff, Stone Barns Market is concentrating on selling their own product.  The only outside vendor, Red Barn Bakery, was handpicked by Dan Barber.  Even though I had just eaten, their table of pies, cakes, and cookies made lunch a distant memory.  The fresh peach and blueberry pies alone are worth a drive or train ride up and back!

Once a month, a second outside vendor—Maine’s Port Clyde Fresh Catch—also sells at Stone Barns Market. Their next visit is Sunday, July 25th.

As mentioned in our feature on Stone Barns this past Spring, the center is a short trip from Manhattan or Brooklyn, via car or train.  You won’t regret escaping the city heat to spend a day wandering among the chickens, vegetables, pigs, and flowers!  Especially since you can now come home with a few extra treats.

Upcoming Event:

August 7 and 8th: Summer on the Farm Weekend
(Language from their flyer)

“Celebrate the delicious summer harvest.  Stop by our tasting table, learn how to make pickles, dig in for a potato harvest, take a canning or seed saving class.”

Mother’s Day at Stone Barns

The May 9^th Farmers’ Market takes place on Mother’s Day. Stone Barns has planned a selection of fun activities for families to help them celebrate the special day.  Activities include ‘pick-you-own eggs’ and sheep moving demonstrations.

See the full schedule here, as some of the programs require pre-registration!

To close off our Stone Barns Series, we want to encourage you to plan a visit to beautiful Tarrytown and Pocantico Hills! 

If you live in or around Manhattan, Tarrytown and Pocantico Hills(home to Stone Barns) is a 40 minute train ride from Grand Central Station—snag a window seat for stunning views of the Hudson Valley.

You could make a day of it…or if you really want to relax…spend the weekend!  Downtown Tarrytown is close to Lyndhurst, Sunnyside, and Kykuit.  Downtown Tarrytown features fun spots for a bite to eat or drink including Coffee Labs, Horse Feathers, Lubins and Links, and Main Street Sweets.

Happy Marketing!
