Ithaca Farmers Market is thrilled to welcome back our loyal customers and new visitors with a wide variety of products including farm-raised meat, eggs, and dairy; fresh vegetables and fruit; locally-gathered honey and locally-prepared staples like jelly and sauces; bread, pastries, and other baked goods; wine, hard apple cider and mushroom spirits; as well as live plants and the best selection of hot food and art created within 30 miles of Ithaca. This year we are celebrating our 50^th Anniversary with special events and other surprises scheduled all season long. Our merchandise table offers a huge selection of new and returning IFM-branded gear including our 50^th anniversary raglan-sleeve t-shirts.

In November and December the vendor count can go down depending on the weather, but the quality is always through the roof! These last two months cater to holiday meal shoppers and those prepping their gift-giving for the season. At our last market in December, we end our year with our world-famous International Rutabaga Curl!

A few tips to get the best out of your visit:

• Come early in the morning if you want to get to your favorite vendors before they sell out! If you want to have lunch at the market, expect to stand in line for 5 to 10 minutes on busy days.
• Your furry friends aren’t allowed in the Pavilion itself, but you can bring them outside the structure to walk the Waterfront Trail or watch the ducks on the lake.
• Our parking lot can get crowded later in the day, so plan accordingly by parking a little farther away or taking TCAT (Route 13 bus) to Aldi, and strolling over.
• PLEASE DO NOT park in the vendor-only parking area, in the fire lanes, on the shoulders, in front of driveways, in the Aldi or Marketview Apartments parking lots, or anywhere else where signs are posted prohibiting you parking there. Please do not move or block any parking signs. YOU MAY BE CITED OR TOWED.
• Many vendors don’t accept credit cards, so bring cash or plan to stop by our ATM. You can also purchase gift certificates in $5 increments using your credit/debit card at our office. Folks who use EBT/SNAP can visit the office to purchase tokens that can be used just like SNAP on the same items you’d get at a grocery store.
