Announcements

New Rochelle – Friday, August 8th
Only TWO chances left to meet a Rockstar (under age 9, that is…)! The Beth El Day Camp Rockstars, girls ages 7 and 8, will serve as Food Ambassadors to New Rochelle’s Down to Earth Farmers Market tomorrow and Friday, August 15th. Between the hours of 11 am and 1 pm, you can find the girls with their latest recipe made from fresh market ingredients. Tomorrow they’ll feature FRUIT KABOBS. They make the recipe and offer free samples – and free recipe cards – for everyone to recreate it at home. See you there!
Ossining – Saturday, August 9th

Recycle Sack: With the goal to eliminate plastic bags from the farmers market, this Saturday, the market manager in Ossining will begin accepting donations of clean, reusable shopping bags that people would like to drop-off. The donated bags will be offered to customers as an alternative to plastic bags for their market purchases. For each bag donated, customers can enter to win a $25 gift certificate for the market, and a winner will be drawn every 2 weeks!

Croton-on-Hudson: Sunday, August 10th

Chef Maria Reina of Bella Cucina Maria will host a free cooking demo from 11:30 am-1:30 pm. She creates healthy, seasonal dishes with fresh ingredients from the market. She has a wonderful recipe for this week that features pasture-raised eggs and peppers, but that’s the only hint we’ll give for now. Stop by to sample her dish and gain new ideas for cooking from the market!

Feed Your River: How Riverkeeper and Down to Earth Markets Are Teaming Up
to Support Local Food and Clean Water
by Jeremy Cherson of Riverkeeper

Riverkeeper, New York’s clean water advocate, and Down to Earth Markets are teaming up this summer and fall to present the Feed Your River Series, a partnership between neighbors to promote local food and the importance of clean water. The first event takes place this Saturday, August 9th, when Riverkeeper will appear at the Ossining Farmers Market to discuss our latest initiatives with market customers.

Did you know that over 100,000 New Yorkers get their drinking water directly from the Hudson River? Another 8 million New Yorkers depend on the good health of the Catskills for their drinking water supply.

Come visit Riverkeeper at these Down to Earth Farmers Markets:

8/9: Ossining Farmers Market
8/16: Tarrytown Farmers Market
8/31: Piermont Farmers Market
9/7: McGolrick Park Farmers Market (Brooklyn)
9/7: Park Slope Farmers Market (Brooklyn)
10/11: Morningside Park Farmers Market (Manhattan)

The connection between clean water and healthful food is readily apparent for our friends at Down to Earth Markets. Their farmers markets bring the finest produce of the Hudson Valley and surrounding area to the people of the metro region.

Farmers in the Catskills and Hudson Valley rely on clean, plentiful water to provide us with nutritious food. Supporting farmers at a Down to Earth Market helps farms within the NYC watershed stay in business and thrive. Ultimately, stewardship of farmland is an important component of maintaining water quality on the Hudson and its tributaries.

Riverkeeper will be featured at select Down to Earth Markets throughout the estuary to engage communities about the importance of protecting the Hudson River and our drinking supply. Stop by the learn about our ongoing campaigns to stop dangerous oil shipments down the Hudson, prevent the raid of clean water funds to finance the Tappan Zee Bridge, and keep fracking waste off New York roads. Everyone can make an impact. Find out how by visiting Riverkeeper at your favorite Down to Earth Farmers Market.

Riverkeeper relies on extraordinary heroes like you to raise the red flag and educate the public on threats to our river. We need you to join our volunteer team to help the Feed Your River Series thrive and grow. Click here to join our outreach and education volunteer team. See you at the markets!
