Ithaca Farmers Market
A wooden market hall at the mouth of Cayuga Lake's inlet. On weekends it brings together local farmers, wineries and snack stalls from many countries, offering a snapshot of everyday life in Ithaca.
The Ithaca Farmers Market is run by a cooperative, and every vendor must be a producer within 30 miles. The main site is a covered wooden arcade at Steamboat Landing, next to the inlet channel of Cayuga Lake. It opens on Saturday mornings (roughly April to December) and on Sunday mornings (seasonal). You can buy apples, maple syrup, cheese, cider and local wines, and there are also stalls selling flavorful snacks from Cambodia, Laos, Mexico and elsewhere. After browsing, you can have brunch on the lakeside lawn. In winter the market moves indoors or runs for shorter hours, so check the official website before you go. Parking is tight on Saturdays, so consider biking or taking the bus.
Opening hours
Approx. April–December, Saturdays 09:00–14:00 (other days and hours seasonal)
