This is one of the best farmers markets I've ever been to! There was a large variety of vendors and they're all under a covered pavilion. I also appreciated the organization - the website had a map and directory on who the vendors are and where they are located. I was visiting from out of town so I didn't buy a lot of produce, but I did buy a ton of other stuff. From Georgian garlic, to truffles, to wine, to kombucha, to hand pies, to chapsticks... This is a must stop if you're in the area for much more than produce. Come hungry! read more

The Ithaca Farmer's Market was one of the things we really wanted to get to see while in town for just two days so, we snuck over on a busy Saturday for a walk/shop and really enjoyed ourselves. Parking was easier around noon and we actually parked at the DMV and walked over which only took about 10 minutes. Tons of vendors and some extremely delicious food being cooked on site - made to order - we really saw a bunch of things we wanted: breakfast burritos, breakfast pitas, boba, baked goods, wines, vinegar, etc. Everyone was friendly and the range of items was large. The produce was the real star of the show - if we lived here we decided we'd be here every weekend stocking up. Sadly, we mostly browsed and had a few snacks. Very nice space right on the water - you can grab a snack or a meal and sit and enjoy a water view. read more

Produce, homemade foods, handmade products, boat tours The Ithaca Farm Market is a great place with about 90 weekend vendors of all sorts. We stopped for fresh produce, cheeses, and coffee. We also saw flowers, art, hard cider and wine, popcorn, baked goods, chocolates, honey, wood, leather, clay, paper, jewelry, and fiber works. Also some ready-to-eat asian food. There was even a tour boat docked out back. The range of goods was amazing. The open air market was a nice weekend activity. read more

This is a cool farmers market located near the waterfront that leads to Cayuga Lake. There's lots of produce, and other goods like special jams, baked items, artwork, drinks, honey and so on to be found here. You can buy food to eat directly at this place as well if you're feeling hungry. I feel that some of the sold products are pricey or more expensive, but otherwise this place is good. I'd say that if you plan to buy some things from here, you might have to prepare to spend more than you'd expect. I do think there are a few tourist-trap-like businesses here, so be on the lookout for that. Additionally, I must add that parking can become a huge issue when trying to go to this market. The parking spaces fill up super fast. read more

I loved this farmers market and I am counting the days until I go back. First they gave a great variety of food and things being sold. The vendors are very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything I purchased, I wish they had here in the city because I want more of it. I love when a farmer's market has items you can only find there. So first I had a homemade ginger ale which was delicious. I also had a breakfast burrito which was really good. I also purchased a leather belt which is beautiful and well made with genuine leather. I purchased a hair pin which is quite beautiful and I look forward to wearing. This is a must see, it was with the one hour drive, we spent the whole day here. Also we were able to get parking right in the front, just be patient. They also have a cool system of rescuing the silverware which was great. read more

Awesome market- so many talented vendors, fresh produce, yummy food!! Everyone we spoke to was sweet, vibes were great. Had delicious Greek food by the water and then a shower stroll before returning for dessert. Definitely recommend ! read more

Great products , produce. Food , meats and more . Love the crepes!!!!! They have added much needed more parking.

Wow! This place is incredible. Great food, wonderful vendors and fantastic craftsmanship everywhere I turned. Loved the cutting board and one spoke to me that I took home. The coffee shops, pitas and sweets at every turn were equally delicious! Best to make a day of it and take in the ambience of a cruise, picnic by the water or just relaxing! Each booth we stopped, offered excellent service and great communication! Complete awesomeness at the market! read more

It's a neat and medium size market with a large parking lot. There are three sections. There weren't as many farm stands as I was expecting, but there was a large variety of local products, like wine, liquor, flowers, food, coffee, etc. The food was good at all the stands we tried (onigiri, momos, hand pies, and empanadas). There's free wine tastings. The back has a little dock to sit on and there were musicians playing. The outdoor bathrooms were really small. Prices were moderate. It wasn't too crowded on the Saturday I went. read more

Great vibes at the Ithaca farmers market. There's a variety of vendors from 30 miles away offering as vegetables, honey and wines. Diverse cuisines such as Cambodian, Chilean empanadas and Thai. My favorite area was the back section where the dock is where everybody's just hanging out and there's live music and it's just a very chill vibe during the summer Cayuga. Open on the weekends and definitely a place to kinda chill. Eat, picnic, and appreciate the really great local fare. read more

Pretty good place. It's definitely a freshmen and alumni favorite. Most weekends they have the same vendors, but often they will they have special events and new vendors for all over upstate. The prices are what u expect. read more

While on vacation in the finger lakes region, we had a cooler rainy day that we were looking for something to do. Wy wife found out about the farmers market that was about 30 min drive from us. It was a beautiful drive, we saw many waterfalls and countless wineries on the way. Parking appeared to be daunting, but with a bit of patience we scored a spot close to one of the entrances. It was crowded, but everyone was pleasant and moving through the crowd wasn't an issue. We sampled a few things, bought a couple things, had a snack and enjoyed our time there. It was well worth our time to visit, we always enjoy local venues when we travel. You are fortunate to have this in your town read more

It was a rainy day and I was looking for things to do in the area. The farmer's market is covered and there were so many vendors! I was able to sample and purchase delicious local honey, smoked cheese, and honey comb. We purchased a beautiful handmade headband and jewelry for my daughter. There are so many unique art and other items to look at/ purchase. Loved the view of Cayuga Lake as well. There are food vendors and bathrooms as well. read more

Ithaca Farmers' Market - Covered Farmers Market, great to visit rain or shine. - Farmers Market Near Me - Ithaca, New York

First time here since I was a student at Cornell - this is an amazing farmers market!! It's definitely less produce focused than most farmers markets and instead has much more prepared food vendors and vineyards/cideries doing tastings. It's probably 50% wine tastings realistically. The prepared food is a little pricey - dishes will run about $15 or more. Snacks (eg samosas, dumplings) are around $6-8. There are also some coffee and drink stands (kombucha, lemonade, etc). There's ample parking and the spot is wonderful, situated right on the waterfront. Overall this is a great way to spend a weekend morning. Highly recommend a stop while you're in town. read more

Better than ever with covered areas, lots of good options, etc. Had the savory crepe and iced coffee and walked around looking at hand made art: screen-printed shirts, wooden bowls, jewelry, etc. lots of wine, cheese, and yogurt tastings to boot. Plenty offers and seasonal veggies. Only fruit was strawberries. Cambodian good, samosas, and breakfast burrito stands had very long lines but the food looked delicious. Plenty of parking, seating by the lake and even a hiking trail (1.2 miles) that you can take after and it goes along the water. You can also rent a boat tour while you're down there. read more

Farmers' market is nice. Strawberry lemonade is worth trying but the situation on the parking lot is not worth it. Spent 2 hours trying to get out. Nobody regulates the traffic. Worst. Even called the police, and they said it as a common situation. Guys do not park on the market's parking lot unless u have a lot of fee time. read more

Ithaca Farmers' Market - Terrible traffic to come out. - Farmers Market Near Me - Ithaca, New York

Ithaca Farmers Market seems to be one of the popular places to visit based on online recommendations of things to do in Ithaca, so made it a point to stop by on a weekend visit to Ithaca. The waterfront location on Cayuga Lake with benches and walking paths make it a cute place to visit. The stalls have a variety of vendors selling produce, wines, crafts, specialty goods, cooked foods, coffee, cider, ice cream, and much more. One downside is that there's no place to sit within the market, so you have to leave the market to find a place to sit, relax, or eat food. I felt it lacked quick food options for those who didn't want a full meal, and lacked vendors that sold local baked goods. My favorite part was the live music out by the Cayuga Lake pier where you can sit and enjoy lake views while listening to music. The pier is where Discover Cayuga Lakes cruises take off from on weekends. Overall, I'd rate the Ithaca Farmers Market a 3.5/5 as a fun place to kill an hour or so and perhaps pick up something if you find yourself bored on the weekend while visiting Ithaca. read more

The market is beautiful, one of the nicest I have ever been to and I've done markets all over the world. I appreciate the recycling/reusable dishes, etc. But a lot of the vendors seem stuck up, or just dont care about making a sale. We wanted to buy some art, no other customer was in the stall yet we were completely ignored. But the most foul part of the market is the Thai food vendor, AVOID. First, they are not friendly. We ordered the Mango sticky rice which I have ordered a thousand times before all over the world and generally it takes pretty similar. This was like prison slop. The rice was not sticky, the mangoes were DEFROSTED FROZEN MANGOES which were absolutely disgusting, and the condensed milk topping was just a clear liquid. I took a bite, my teen took a bite and the whole $10 travesty was thrown into the trash. This vendor should not be operating and ripping customers off as such. read more

The best farmers market I've ever been to! You'll find tons or organic produce, flowers, plants, herbs, honeys, wines, leather goods, jewelry, amazing food and my favorite --40 Weight Espresso! Parking can be a challenge. I usually find a spot, but when I don't, I go to the medical building parking lot nearby on the water and you can pick up a trail that leads to the market there. The customer service is great. There is always someone on duty to help. There are two bathrooms, but I often run into Aldi and use theirs before I hit the market. The market is pretty dreamy. Wood plank floors, music and lights adorn the market. I promise, you'll love it! read more

The Ithaca Farmers Market gets a lot of hype, but I wasn't blown away. Stop in for lunch, said everyone. They have great food for lunch, said everyone. We came in at 1 and every savory food kiosk was completely wiped or had a massive line. We were only able to get our hands on bread and ice cream. The savory food kiosks didn't feel like what you'd typically find at a Farmers Market. They felt a little heavy... maybe in 100 degree weather I just wasn't feeling the heavy Cambodian noodles. I wish there were a few lighter grab and go options like tacos / sandwiches. You also cannot get a glass of wine or beer. Only a small tasting and a full size bottle. Not ideal if you want to walk around and have a drink with your eats. Seating is limited and it was just a bit of a hot mess. I regretted not having a nice and relaxing lunch downtown. The upside - produce looked fresh and bountiful and the flowers were gorgeous. There are of course lots of locally made goodies and if you are looking to shop vs eat there is a ton of selection. Unfortunately for lunch this just wasn't our best bet. Lesson learned! read more

My friends and I came here on a Saturday morning at 10am. We expected it to be super crowded, and while it was busy, it wasn't as bad as we expected. There are a great selection of vendors (produce, baked goods, hot food, homeware, decor, jewelry, soap/bath products, etc). Everyone we spoke with was so friendly and nice. I'd highly recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Always love the Ithaca Farmer's Market as all of the small vendors have something great to offer.

I could have CRIED walking up to this market! What a beautiful dream it is with its adorable booths and vendors and oasis-style atmosphere. It is just so stunning. There's something for everyone including amazing eats, ice cream, honeys, soaps, art, produce, flowers, and much more. I only wish it was open more frequently so I could stop by anytime I am in town. Only open on Saturdays and the traffic does get a little crazy. We parked father away from the market proper so we would have an easier time getting out. The market is situated right on the water which allows for gorgeous views as you take in the sights and smells. I purchased a Farmers Market sweater and will wear it with pride. We had limited time as we were headed to a show after our visit, but I could have stayed and chatted with vendors/sat an enjoyed snacks for HOURS. Do NOT miss this market if you're in Ithaca on a Saturday! read more

Different concept from Madison's (WI) farmer's market. It's good for buying groceries groceries. It offers a good variety of produce. Go early, it gets crowded as it is a popular market. The gluten-free crepes and matcha coffee (different stands) that I had for breakfast were good/healthy but had no flavor...they were really healthy. FYI Bring your own bags as they don't provide any. read more

One of the best farmers markets on the East Coast. I've had my fair share of farmers markets, but Ithaca's market provides a diverse range of food options, goods, and produce. Everyone from the store owners to the people are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. I loved supporting local businesses when purchasing locally made jewelry, pottery, local plants, and other goods. This community genuinely cares about the quality of their products and commits to composting and other green methods to help our planet. I wish I lived closer to this market, but I will definitely come back. It's a must visit when in the area. read more

My wife and I heard all about this farmers market and told we had to go. We love these types of markets and usually spend a load of money. The market is open Saturday and Sunday and it is mostly covered. It is a very popular market so be patient getting there and with parking. Overall, my wife and I were a bit disappointed after all of the hype. I guess we expected something different. Way to many wineries giving tastings and tiny booths serving perogies, Cambodian food, breakfast items, etc. We found the only bread place and bought a few loaves and some scones. Prices were excellent. Very few options, if any, for jam, jellies, pies, syrups, salsas, candles, etc. That is what we were looking for. Regardless, we were glad we went but I don't think we would go back. read more

I am so jealous of anyone living in Ithaca. This farmers market is small but mighty! Everything there seems to be local grown. The vendors were so friendly, prices were reasonable, and the options were limitless. Since we were traveling home, we couldn't buy veggies or meat but we made sure to stop at multiple booths for other items. My dog got a bison bone that kept him occupied for about 8 hours and still remains his favorite thing. I got honey for my mom which she says is incredible. I purchased a bourbon cider for my brother. It's tart and a bit dry but very refreshing. I loved seeing the fresh flowers, so beautiful. For lunch my boyfriend got a gyro that he practically cried over, it was so good. I got 2 different crepes, 1 sweet with strawberries which was amazing and 1 savory with chicken and feta. Oh Em gee was that thing incredible! I would go back just for that particular crepe. read more

Few places prove to be magical quite like the Ithaca Farmers Market. It is busting with excited energy of Saturday morning, and filled with all sorts of vendors from on the go treats to produce for the week. The market is a decent size filled with vendors from end to end. Walking through we stopped at a crepe shop that had the longest line selling both sweet and savory crepes. We got breakfast crepes filled with eggs, cheese, and some veggies. It was fantastic! The market is also by a lake and it's beautiful to sit out there and eat by the water. If you're visiting Ithaca, this place is worth a visit! read more

First of all, if you plan to visit here please visit their website for updated market hours because their hours vary from month to month as well as location. We visited the steam boat landing location on a Sunday. There's a steam boat ride if you're into that. We got to try variety of things like apple ciders (hot and cold) with no added sugar that was refreshing and full of natural sweetness, momos (dumplings with veggies), and almond croissant with light filling. This open market is near the lake where steam boat docks. There was nothing like enjoying all these delicious things in a peaceful place. If you have a chance to visit here, it's worth the visit. There's no entrance fee so you can just browse. read more

Adorable farmer's market, if I lived closer, you would probably see me buying flowers every other week from here. They had my favorite peonies and arrangements for such reasonable prices compared to what I would pay for in the heart of NYC. Great food and fresh vegetables. We ended up just getting apple cider slushie and apple cider donuts which were delicious. read more

One of my favorite stops in the spring, summer or fall!! Ithaca Farmers Market is one of the top markets I've been to and always a highlight when I get to come back. The market is measles up to the bottom of Cayuga Lake and is always hopping. The market is large with stall under a wooden roof to keep it shaded and protected if it rains. They range from veggies & fruit, Che's & meats to hand made items like soap, clothing, yarn, pottery and woodworking, so many great things you'll want to take home. They have beautiful flowers and plants and then stalls with food from all around the world. Shop & then grab a bite and take it to the bench's and tables along the water. There usually some musicians playing and you can enjoy the cool breeze coming off the lake and watch the kayakers paddle up to grab some food themselves. Do bring cash as many of the venders only use cash (there's an atm if you need it) A great Saturday event! read more

This is one of my favourite farmers' markets in the world. However as a disclaimer, I may be biased because this has a college-nostalgia for me. Despite that, it ranks up there with smaller town ones like those I've found in Vermont. The farmers' market is open on the early weekends where you can get local fare for a fair price. Selections range from cideries and wineries, apple farms, apiary enthusiasts for honey, artwork, etc. It's all enclosed in an open-air pavilion situated right by the water. One of my favourite places to sit and eat is on the dock. There is abundant seating though -- proper tables, on the rocks, on benches, etc., and there's quite a bit of shade as well. There's also an ATM provided and two proper bathrooms, so overall, the market is legit. Check it out if you're ever in town! read more

The Ithaca Farmer's Market is one of my absolute favorite places in the world. By farmer's market standards, it's by far the best around - tons of options for fruits, veggies, local cheese, mushrooms, coffee, you name it. I even got a really cute mask here that I've worn for most of the pandemic. And then, there are the food stalls, if you're here for a meal (which I would definitely recommend). The breakfast burritos are a crowd favorite, but you will have to wait a bit for them. My favorite is the crepe place, I get the spinach & feta with mozzerella cheese sauce on top. They also have gluten free & dairy free options! If you're hungry, the pizza is also incredible. Take your food out by the water and sit on the docks or benches if the weather is nice! read more
