As you exit College Walk and turn left, you’ll see Di Paola Turkey Farms for all your Thanksgiving bird needs, followed by Down Home Acres with root vegetables and greens. Next is Ardith Mae for all of you goat cheese lovers, (I’m unsure which cheese is the actual GOAT, but I’ll let you be the judge of that), followed by Walnut Hill Farm for your artisanal jams and heritage pork. Our last stop across from Morton Williams is Hawthorne Valley, which has a wide array of vegetables, bread, fermented drinks, and sauerkrauts.

Across from the Lerner-Furnald path, you’ll see Old Mother Hubbert (trying saying that ten times fast). Yes, Hubbert not Hubbard. For a chuckle and a few buck-buck-bucks, you can get milk, cheeses, eggs, and chickens! Right next to Old Mother is Madura Farms, the mushroom vendor. They sell various types of mushrooms that they grow upstate (that’s it, I asked). 

Moving under the scaffolding past W115th, we have the large conglomeration of Nolasco Farms, with more produce. After you walk past the walled-off construction area, you’ll see Hudson Valley Duck Farm on your right for mallard fans. You’ll also see Knoll Krest Farms next door, which sells eggs and homemade pasta. Across from Knoll Krest and on your left, you’ll see the GrowNYC representatives, who help keep the farmers’ market going. 

You’ll then walk around a bigger construction area to find Meredith’s Bread, with baked goods and sweet treats like pies, muffins, bread loaves, and jams. Next to Dr. Bread is Samascott Orchards. I’m partial to Samascott because, in my totally biased opinion, it has the greatest variety. Apples, potatoes, butternut squash, cider, cider donuts, pumpkins, popcorn—can you imagine anything more beautiful? Most days, the Samascott lines wrap around the corner here, but they move fairly quickly and worth the wait.

You can then cross 114th and shop at Pura Vida Fisheries, as fish are food, not friends. Next to Pura we have two square tents pushed together for Gonzalez Farms, stocked with potatoes and root vegetables. Across from the Earth Institute, we have Nature’s Way Farm for honey and soaps and Roaming Acres for chicken, pork, and ostrich. Across from University Hardware, you’ll see Two Guys From Woodbridge—I’ve only ever seen one guy, but maybe the second was on break—for lettuce varieties and microgreens. Our last stop is Korean Kimchee Harvest from East Branch Farms, where you can get 12oz jars of the titular side dish.
