I'm a huge fan of farmers' markets.  Ithaca's Farmers' Market is up there on my list.  There is a distinct wooden structure that shelters the market.  From Art to Food, to Crafts to Clothes, Ithaca's Farmers' Market has unique, local, worldly, sustainable, earthy products for all to enjoy.  

We'll see you in October!

What is there not to love here? There are lots of vendors sells fresh and organic  fruits, vegetables, flowers, honey, jam, nuts, and prepared foods (I agree Angela N that there's always a huge line on Sundays for the breakfast burritos. And why not, it smells great!) Best of all, they're all from the Ithaca/finger lakes area! I love buying tasty food and drinks and eating it right along the lake. You can truly enjoy life's simple pleasure here! Don't forget to buy yourself a Cornell wooden clock tower here for souvenir if you haven't bought one already.

It's covered, but it's also open-air. The Ithaca Farmer's Market is an excellent stop for breakfast or to browse local produce and crafts.

Located at Steamboat Landing every Saturday and Sunday, it's also open for summer months on Thursdays and also on Tuesdays at Dewitt Park.

What To Buy: Everything you can get your hands on! No really, there are so many wonderful delicious items...and some unique items as well. Look around once, then go back a second time for the shopping.

People get religious over the breakfast burritos available here, but I say skip them and go straight for the Greek Euros. Not only will your serving be bigger, you'll also get lamb, and what could be more awesome than lamb? Breakfast shouldn't be in burrito-form anyway.

I spend my Sundays here sucking in local music, sunshine, rainier cherries and hobby art. Good spot for finding local honey and fresh lemonade.

There is also very high ratio of exceptionally good climbing-trees overlooking the water. Get to one before the children do.

Amazing farmers market. Just amazing. I'm used to farmers markets having mostly plants, produce, homemade salad dressing, and honey. The Ithaca Farmer's Market has everything! Amazing Bakery goods (4 vendors for that). Wine (2 vendors). Cheese. Prepared food. Homemade products. etc etc. I've been to farmers markets in LA (Santa Monica, Koreatown, Larchmont Village), and this puts them all to shame.

Definitely check it out! Buy local!

I didn't know a farmers' market could be this good.

This is one of my favorite things to do in Ithaca.  I could easily go both weekend mornings.  There is a terrific selection of produce from local farms, and so much more.  Plants, baked goods, quilts, photographs, jewelry, cut flowers, yarn, pottery, and about fifty other types of things are sold there.  

If you're just visiting Ithaca, definitely be sure to experience this lovely market.

I loved the Ithaca Farmers' Market and I wished it was open longer and closer to Cornell so I could visit it more often when I was there. It's in a really nice location on Lake Cayuga and they have delicious ice cream, maple candy, lemonade, etc.

friggin BEST farmer's market ever.  anything you could ever want can be found here.  i ADOOOOOOORE the farmer's market for its high density of super tasty food stalls.  and extra extra extra points for using only biodegradable/compostable plateware/utensils!!!

i absolutely love being able to buy some bread/cambodian/whatever and take it to a table or bench by the water, and spend a bit of leisurely weekend time eating and losing myself to the moment.  i wish all farmer's markets could be this amazing.
