About the Pelham Market
Pelham residents and friends Jane Sweeney and Amy Cole launched the Pelham Market in the spring of 2020 as a response to the COVID pandemic and the need for a friendly, outdoor farmer's market.
After two successful seasons, Jane and Amy tapped Morning Glory Markets, based in Hastings on Hudson, to take the market to the next level. In addition to Pelham, Morning Glory Markets run seasonal farmers markets in Bronxville, Chappaqua, and the New York Botanical Garden, as well as year-round markets in Hastings on Hudson and Irvington, NY. Their markets are carefully curated to provide shoppers with the very best of the Hudson Valley: produce, breads and baked goods, cheese, pastured meats, fresh seafood, grains, pickles, and alcohol. They believe that in addition to farmers markets supporting local agriculture and food production, they should also serve as hubs for their communities.
