  • PREPARED FOOD/BAKED GOODS: All prepared foods and baked goods are required to be produced by the seller and feature locally grown ingredients when appropriate. At least one item sold must contain at a locally-sourced ingredient (sourced from a producer within 150 miles of the Market) and CANNOT contain synthetic food coloring or flavors, GMO ingredients, high fructose corn-syrup, or trans-fat.

  • ZERO WASTE: In the face of an ever worsening man-made climate crisis, we are working to be part of the solution by eliminating waste at the Market. We do not allow plastic bags or styrofoam and all packaging must be compostable or recyclable. Plastic coated hot cups, plastic coated plates, trays, or boats, single-use plastic cups, plastic utensils, plastic lids, plastic stir sticks, plastic straws, etc. are not allowed.

  • CRAFTS & WELLNESS PRODUCTS: On a very limited basis, we invite vendors who utilize local materials and/or make products to be used in the production, display, or consumption of food, i.e. cutting boards, knives, etc.

  • MISC: We do not accept vendors who sell pet food or multi-level marketing products.

  • COVID-19 SAFETY: Our markets are currently operating with strict health precautions. Vendors are required to properly wear effective face masks, maintain social-distancing in their tents, and abide by other public health protocols.

Much has changed since the first Hastings Farmers Market — a smattering of six or seven vendors — arrived on Maple Avenue in 1998, but what fueled this undertaking from the start, and drives it to this day, are volunteers. It was a few women, spearheaded by Sue Smith, who put their hearts — and immeasurable hours — into bringing the freshest local produce to our village. The idea was that a farmers’ market would contribute to the vitality of this community while also helping growers preserve the agricultural heritage of the Hudson Valley. And so here we are, decades later, a vibrant, ever-evolving intersection of food shop and village square, operating as a nonprofit and still dependent upon volunteers to make it work.

Volunteers help in myriad ways, from setting up the market at 7 a.m. to answering shoppers' questions, selling T-shirts and tote bags, and supporting new programs. We can always use more hands, whether on Saturdays at the market or on other days behind the scenes assisting with marketing, event planning, educational outreach, and more.

There are opportunities of all kinds, for every talent and time commitment. If you'd like to join the team or learn more, please fill out this form, stop by the market tent, or email us at info@hastingsfarmersmarket.org.

 

Help us on site or behind the scenes to keep this beloved market going strong and maintain its unique sense of place and plenty.

 

Our market has a long history of employing local students and residents. While we do not hire salespeople directly, we are happy to pass along résumés to our vendors when the need arises. If you are interested in selling for a vendor, please email your inquiry to the Market Director, Pascale Le Draoulec.
