I have lived in Irvington for several years now and I love my community and this farmers market. I love the diversity of vendors that show up; food trucks, clothing, dog treats, crafts, fresh flowers, local companies, and many other wonderful participants.
That being said I feel as though the farmers market has leaned too far into artisan goods. I would really like to see a stronger presence of fresh produce vendors. The last time we were there, it was just two or three produce stalls out of a few dozen total. I think people expect a bit more than that out of a "farmers" market but that's just my opinion. I would love for all of the current participants to stay and there just be a little more diversity in the produce.
My wife and I try to go every time, and frankly we will continue to do so in the best and worst of times. We want to encourage community events like this. But we can support and also recognize that it's not perfect and express how we believe they could be better.
