Imagine yourself on a busy morning, sipping a fresh cup of coffee that’s been brewed to perfection, and biting into a sweet apple-infused donut that was carefully made with only the best ingredients. Contrary to popular belief, this feeling isn’t just reserved for the weekend. In fact, it’s a Thursday morning at the Lynbrook Farmers Market.
Yes, it’s finally returned, as a result of the diligent work of Chamber member Harry Levitt, who spearheaded the effort to bring back the market after a two-year absence.
Levitt said that the vendors must “make, bake, grow or catch it to sell it” — and they must prove it. “I invite people to come down and check out fresh produce and baked goods,” he said. “They can grab breakfast and lunch. It’s a win, win!”
The market is coordinated by Fred and Ethel Terry, of Terry’s Farms, who were at a previous Lynbrook location for eleven years. They run a farm in Orient, NY that specializes in good, old fashioned, fresh fruit and vegetables. Twenty years ago they founded the Long Island Growers Market, where Terry Farms specializes in selling produce to Nassau and Suffolk County. Terry Farms has been family-owned for 400 years. Some of their market locations include, Lynbrook, Rockville Centre and Islip. They’ve kept it no secret that they were happy to return to Lynbrook.
“I’m so glad it’s back!” said Lynbrook resident Kristina Pezzello “We use to walk here before it moved away. This is wonderful!”
The Lynbrook Farmer’s Market doesn’t just offer the traditional fruits and vegetables — there’s a big selection of those, and so much more.
The aforementioned coffee is from “Gentle Brew,” a vendor that takes pride in collecting exotic beans from places like Columbia, Honduras and Ethiopia. Samples of great wine are just a booth away. Anthony Sannino and his family-owned Sannino Bella Vita Vineyard in Peconic, NY offered different vintages and bouquets for all connoisseurs.
And how about that donut? It’s from the Orchards of Concklin in Pomona, NY., owned by Linda Hill and Rich Concklin, who are celebrating three hundred years of offering a variety of fresh produce, pies, apple cider, donuts, peaches, apples, and flowers.
