About the market
Bringing food, music and people together
Now in our 14th season we continue our original mission of bringing food that is locally grown, raised or produced to the community. We strive to raise awareness of the importance of eating and buying locally for the sustainability of our planet. And we can't resist how good local food tastes!
​
We are pleased that the market has become a regular destination for many in the area and we encourage any and all shoppers and visitors to join us every Saturday during our season.

Parking is easy and the people are friendly.
The Chappaqua Farmers Market is committed to food justice and equality; we build partnerships with farmers and vendors to create a community that is inclusive and diverse. We are working hard to increase diversity in the market – in the mix of our farmers and vendors to the people who shop for local food and goods. As we take a diverse approach to running our market, we encourage engagement with the community, especially our BIPOC neighbors, to collaborate with us to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and recognized. We welcome conversations that will facilitate our growth into a more equitable entity. If you would like to reach out to our board you can do so by emailing us at info@chappaquafarmersmarket.org
Our Market Managers
Pascale Le Draoulec, our market manager, grew up in California to French expat parents who foraged for everything from snails to watercress, and would drive a hundred miles for a good Crottin de Chevre or baguette, before farmer’s markets became a thing there. The markets of Provence and Santa Monica are her inspiration. Pascale also runs the Hastings, Irvington and Bronxville farmers markets in Westchester and the market at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. She is a former restaurant critic and author. You can read her weekly blog here on the website.
​
Kimberly Patota is our new onsite market manager. She joins us from Tarrytown as is a graduate of Marist College. She has maintained a strong commitment to her hometown area, actively participating in initiatives such as the food pantry of Sleepy Hollow. Working as a vendor and farmer for a flower farm piqued her interest in farmers markets. She has a passion for community-driven endeavors and embodying the values of being a good neighbor to all.
