Bronxville Farmers' Market Soon to Move Indoors
Nov. 20, 2013: After a six-month stint outdoors, the Bronxville Farmers' Market will be moving indoors to 1 Pondfield Road after this Saturday's market (November 23).
We have had a busy and productive outdoor season with 39 vendors this year. We were very fortunate with the weather and even escaped the usual nor’easters and hurricanes and did not get flooded out even once this season! That's a first on both counts.
Our furry friends visited in October from Staghorn Valley Alpacas and were as cute and popular as ever. We had students from Bronxville High School visit, collecting donations for Hearts to Home to help our servicemen and women.
After taking last winter off for all to reboot, we are once again fortunate to have a very generous realtor, Samson Management, allowing us to use their unoccupied space at 1 Pondfield Road. We would not be able to run a market without their kind gesture.
The indoor market will be held every other Saturday starting December 14. (December 14 and 28, January 11 and 25, February 8 and 22, March 8 and 22, and April 5 and 19 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.)
We are back outside May 10, just in time for your Mother's Day feast!
We will have fresh veggies all winter since one of our new farmers has high tunnels and greenhouses and can continue production all winter. Also, many of our regular vendors will be there, as well as some new ones. Please check our new website (www.bronxvillefarmersmarket.com) for directions and vendor information.
Thanks to all our loyal customers who have supported the BFM this season as well as the past 12 years!
Hope to see you Saturday outdoors!

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
