What's at the Fall Farmers' Market in Bronxville? |
 |
 |
 |
|
By Pascale Le Draoulec, Director of the Bronxville Farmers' Market
Oct. 16, 2019: While everyone loves the tomatoes, corn, berries, and stone-fruit of summer, you can't deny how beautiful autumn looks in our produce bins. There are so many leafy greens, varieties of apples, and types of squash and gourds, with many different variations in color, size, and texture.
It always surprises me that just when the temperatures begin to dip, and you start thinking of belly-warming soups, the perfect soup ingredients (from leeks and celeriac to butternut squash and apples) show up at the market.
Our organic produce vendor Sun Sprout Farm expanded to three tents this year, and they are always full of shoppers happy for Black Dirt organic produce at affordable prices.
This year we added a regular Honey vendor: Hudson River Apiaries. They are based in Cortlandt Manor. This vendor is particularly important since local honey is just the thing to ward off pollen and other change-of-season allergies. They are at the market twice a month.
We are so happy that Booskerdoo, the tiny new coffee shop in Bronxville, was able to join us mid-season.
Also, this year, the Hive Juice Lab rolled up in their former school bus painted a deep pink. Inside the bus, they sell cold-press juices in flavors like Jungle Plum (watermelon, lemon, & basil) and Worker Bee (pineapple, pear, lemon, & turmeric).
The bus is a labor of love and community. It's run by a young Yonkers couple (Jovian & Ashlee) who came up with the idea after becoming vegan. Jovian started working in Michelin-star kitchens after four years of military service. He paired his culinary training with skills learned in the Air Force to create a mobile juice lab.
Their families and friends all had a hand in making their dream come alive. Jovian's mother gave them the truck, his grandfather flew in from Puerto Rico to build out the interior, and their friends transformed it from a yellow school bus to a tropical pink garden on wheels. Stop by the window to learn more about their story and buy a juice! They are at the market on the second and fourth weekend of each month.

By Shannon Gangemi, Executive Director, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce
Sep. 25, 2019: On Tuesday, September 17, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce executive director Shannon Gangemi and Chamber president Leah Caro attended a multi-chamber event with County Executive George Latimer and his economic development team. Held at the county executive’s office, the event allowed chamber executives and members to network and share best practices.
Ms. Gangemi said, “In our ongoing effort to bring value to our members, it was a great opportunity to speak with leadership from other communities to learn what they are doing and the struggles their members may face.” In particular, other chamber directors were excited to hear about the Bronxville street concerts and especially the 2nd Annual Oktoberfest, which will be held on Park Place on October 13.
Mr. Latimer’s team is eager to engage with the business communities throughout Westchester County and work toward continued growth and prosperity. The Bronxville Chamber will connect with the county’s executive’s team to plan a presentation for the chamber membership.
Current Bronxville Chamber members and future members are encouraged to contact Shannon for any reason at

New Law Requires Online Sellers in New York to Pay Sales Tax; Will Benefit Local Municipalities like Bronxville |
|
|
|
|
By Leah Caro, President, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce
Sep. 4, 2019: Members of the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors met with New York State Senator Shelley Mayer (37th Senate District) in August to discuss legislation at the State regarding small business.
The Board thanked Senator Mayer for the passage of a law that went into effect this past June requiring on-line sellers without a brick-and-mortar presence in New York State to pay sales tax equal to the sales tax for brick-and-mortar retail. This new law helps to eliminate the tax advantage that on-line sellers (and their buying public) have long enjoyed.
Chamber President Leah Caro stated, “We appreciate that Senator Mayer and New York State is looking out for small business and requiring the on-line giants to pay their fair share.”
Additionally, Senator Mayer went on to explain that revenues collected from the online sales tax would have a portion remitted to local municipalities, much in the same way that Westchester County remits a percentage of its sales tax back to our communities.
Senator Mayer, as is her style, listened attentively as Board members discussed the impact of various payroll and other taxes on small business, and assured the Board that the impact of taxation on small business owners is always a consideration for her. She is looking at forming a task force of small business owners so she may learn first-hand what is important to them, and how to further their success.
The Bronxville Chamber of Commerce is committed to being an advocate for local businesses. We value the input of our current and future members. If you’d like to serve on the Board, and any of our committees, or to become a member, please contact Executive Director Shannon Gangemi at

By Leah Caro, President, Bronxville Chamber of Commerce
Aug. 7, 2019: The Bronxville Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Shannon Hurley Gangemi has been hired as its new executive director. A Bronxville resident, Shannon brings to the position vast experience from the business world, as well as committed community involvement.

Leah Caro of Park Sterling Realty, the president of the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce, is looking forward to working with Shannon. “Shannon is enthusiastic and smart, and you can really see how much she cares for Bronxville and its commercial district.”
Michelle MacMillan of Paws and Play, the chamber of commerce's vice president and former executive director, agrees. “The position of executive director is so important. Shannon will be the face of our chamber, as liaison to our members, local charitable organizations, the school, and, of course, village government. I know she’ll do a great job.”
“Being executive director for the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce seems like an ideal position for me,” stated Shannon. “I’m able to stay local for my family but make a meaningful and visible contribution to the village – which I totally love.”
In addition to advocating for its members, the executive director, along with the board and other volunteers, works to bring nearly a dozen events to the community annually, organizes important member meetings, and promotes Bronxville and its merchants every day.
