The best local farmers market I’ve ever visited, with plenty of local fruits and veggies, multiple flower stands, breakfast biscuits or breakfast pitas, Thai and Cambodian food, breakfast burritos, great coffee and tea, hard cider and donuts, and more.
Plenty of parking but the traffic is tough coming in and out. Has restrooms and has an ATM, though we only saw one place that didn’t take credit cards or Apple Pay. The market is covered, which is a nice break. Stunning water views from nearby benches to watch a dragon boat or kayak — or nothing in particular.
This place is so cute. We came in from Pittsburgh, staying at the Inn of Aurora, and we're looking for something to do. There was so much good-looking produce and homemade goods. Everyone was so friendly and the price of the dried flower bouquet I got was amazing!
Beautiful farmers market. If I lived closer I would go there every week. Fresh lush veggies and fruit, vibrant flowers, delicious food, creative craftsmanship. So inspiring. Lucky people who live in Ithaca and close by. That's my view.
Almost removed a star for the horrendous parking situation, but! At the light right before the market, if you turn away from the market (towards Papa John's), if you're lucky, you can find some free street parking (about a 5-10 min walk to the market).
Dogs are allowed at the market, but NOT in the pavilion, so I'd plan accordingly.
Otherwise, this place is AMAZING. Love seeing so many college students, and I'd advise getting here as early as you can.
There's an ATM, all-gender bathrooms, and most places will also take cards. Bonus is that it's covered (but still open-air) in case it rains!
Great place to have lunch, delicious options! Went back several times in my week and a half stay. Had Japanese, African, and Cambodian (my personal favorite).

Definitely worth a visit! Amazing selection of vegetables, meat and fruits to buy and some vendors that are selling beautiful flowers. There’s a wide selection of things you can buy, like jam, honey, clothes, art and pottery. For like $20 you can get really full. The Cambodian stall is my favorite. The Amohck Chicken (#7 on the menu) is my favorite, it’s so savory and slightly spicy with a nice bed of rice. The fresh squeezed lemonade was the best drink I’ve had, it was slightly sour but still sweet and so refreshing. The Banh Chev was also really good, just beware that it has a really strong kick and is spicy. The Pad Thai was more on the sweeter side so not my favorite but it got better when you used the lime, but the Thai iced tea was the worst I’ve had. It was too sweet and they used too much condensed milk where it soon tasted like vanilla ice cream. The Vegan Samosa was ok, it was packed with potatoes, but the sauces they offer is good, with mild or hot curry, and a hot tomato based sauce. The best spot to eat if you’re lucky is right at the dock, there’s one bench there with a roof, so you can watch over the lake and be in the shade as you enjoy the delicious food!
We only had an hour before the market closed. Seems really cute with plenty of fresh veggie and fruit options, wine, hard cider, spirit tasting and eclectic eateries. I tried the Cambodian place and the dish I ate was delicious. Hubby tried the grilled cheese place and he said it was also really good. Loved that they have real dishes and flatware that they wash and reuse.
We live a couple hours drive away and finally had the chance to visit the market. We were drawn to it by the YouTuber Pete of #justafewacresfarm Just a Few Acres Farm, and he was kind enough to take time for a selfie with us. We bought some quality steaks from him and they lived up to their reputation! It would have been nice to meet Hillary as well.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety supplied by the market. It was definitely worth the trip and we have already recommended it to others. Beautiful location! We left with tomatoes to can and a sampling of local wines as well. So glad we took the adventure.

So many vendors, beautiful location, live music, reasonable prices.
Parking can be tricky, we arrived around noon and the traffic was a bit much. We ended up parking down the street and walking over on the trail (totally lovely, would highly recommend).
Make sure to bring cash! I missed some amazing samosas getting cash from my partner. I ended up getting a delicious Onigiri with Mushroom instead. Yummms.
Great community outing, will definitely try to go again.
Had a wonderful time! So many vendors and fantastic food. Next time I will bring my dog as well as they are allowed.
