What Makes Ithaca Farmers Market a Great Place?
The Ithaca Farmers Market is accessible by foot, car, boat or bike. Soon a new waterfront trail will connect the market to other attractions throughout the whole southern tip of Cayuga Lake as well. People within the community use the space to shop or just socialize, and visitors travel from outside the area because of the great selection and feel of the community representation. Plenty of parking is available, as well as docking facilities for boaters. The market’s calming presence takes over as you walk through ivy- and flower-covered trellises that separate the parking lot from market stands. Seating is available on hand-carved benches at the waterfront, or grass embankments for afternoon lounging while watching Cornell University Crew matches. Everyone does their part with clean-up, from litter to messes made by pets (which are welcome). The inviting space of the Farmers Market is used a large portion of the year, and draws crowds on colder winter weekends as well as warm July week
