Suburban Long Islanders may forget that our island is also home to a remarkable agricultural bounty. Most of us don’t encounter farms on a daily basis, and it’s inconvenient to drive out east every time we need a head of lettuce or an ear of corn.

Luckily, Nassau and Suffolk’s 39 weekly farmers markets provide a consistent source of just-picked fruits and vegetables that make supermarket produce pale in comparison. In June, we’re seeing the last of the asparagus, the beginning of the berries and, as we move into summer, broccoli, beans, carrots, eggplant, corn and tomatoes. Markets that go into fall will still have winter squash, potatoes and onions through Thanksgiving. And, to round out the harvest, all of Long Island’s markets feature artisanal baked goods, condiments, beverages and much more.

This year, we welcome six new markets: New Hyde Park, East Marion, Hauppauge, Patchogue and two in Westbury. And please note the markets in Bay Shore, East Hampton and Syosset have moved to new locations.

Deep Roots market in Glen Cove has not gone anywhere. The future of this market was up in the air after its founder and presiding spirit, Amy Peters, died in October. Happily, the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce has taken over management of the market and it still occupies its waterside location in Garvies Point.
