Down to Earth Larchmont Farmers Market – Larchmont, NY

Nestled in the heart of downtown Larchmont, the Down to Earth Larchmont Farmers Market is more than just a place to shop—it's a Saturday morning tradition. Every week, the market transforms the Metro-North parking lot into a vibrant hub of activity where farmers, artisans, and food lovers come together to support a more sustainable, community-driven food system.

It's common to see kids snacking on fresh fruit or a local muffin while parents shop, or dogs sitting patiently (leashed, of course) while their owners chat with vendors. Friendly market staff and signage also make it easy for newcomers to get oriented and learn about what’s in season.
