Food, community and creativity in Sea Cliff

Posted

From June to October as the sun rises on Saturday mornings, vendors from the North Shore set up their booths in the grass outside St. Luke’s Church for the Sea Cliff Farmers Market. The event, adored by the community and in its fifth year, is continuing to flourish. It offers fresh food, showcases local businesses, and is a welcoming place for friends to gather.
Glen Cove resident Amy Peters, an advocate for knowing where one’s food comes from, founded the farmers market in 2014. She was inspired to bring this opportunity to her neighbors and provide everyone with access to clean, nutritious wares.
Beagan Young, of Youngs Farm in Brookville, sells fresh produce each week. Additional vendors diversify the event’s offerings, like To Be Gluten Free and Steiner’s Coffee Cake’s, which offer delicious baked goods, and Conscious Kitchen and Don’s Finest Living Foods’ prepared items. “We have guest artists and vendors this year, which has also been very popular,” Peters added.
As the market continues to grow, Peters said one thing remains constant: “The farmers market brings people together, and the pleasures of good food builds our community and celebrates our area’s unique culture.”
