The Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the successful first season of the Deep Roots Farmers Market under its stewardship, continuing the legacy of founder Amy Peters, who first launched the market to bring fresh, locally grown food and handcrafted goods to the community.
The open-air market, located at Garvies Point Park along the city’s scenic waterfront, ran from late spring through early fall, featuring produce, seafood, baked goods, flowers, and artisan crafts from across Long Island. Each Saturday, the park filled with families, local shoppers, and visitors eager to support small businesses while enjoying live music, food, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
“I’m beyond thrilled to say Deep Roots Farmers Market had a wonderful first season under the stewardship of the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce, perpetuating Amy Peters’ legacy,” said Dr. Maxine Mayreis, Chamber president. “Huge thanks to our amazing vendors, shoppers, and the entire Glen Cove community for making it a success. More and more people are discovering the superior quality, affordability, and uniqueness of locally grown, locally produced, locally sourced, and handcrafted goods and produce! Our credo is shop local and Deep Roots makes it easy.”
Mayreis added that the music tent became a popular gathering spot this season, drawing crowds with “really groovy tunes” from local musicians. She noted that several new features are already in development for the 2026 season, encouraging residents to “tell all your friends, relatives, and neighbors to stay tuned.”
The Chamber officially took over management of the market in 2025, building on Peters’ commitment to sustainability and community connection. Deep Roots Farmers Market quickly became a Saturday tradition for residents and a destination for those discovering Glen Cove’s revitalized waterfront.
Although the regular season has ended, vendors will return for holiday shopping during the Downtown BID’s Tree Lighting and Winter Festival on Saturday, Dec. 6, in Village Square. For vendor or sponsorship opportunities, contact info@GlenCoveChamber.org.
