All throughout the year, locals and out of towners alike can come to New York State and find all sorts of markets taking place. Some of our favorite markets remain open during every season, while some of our most beloved ones only operate briefly during particular seasons. Now that warmer months have fully set in and we can begin to once again enjoy our favorite outdoor activities, you’ll start to notice that many of us are heading outside to do as much of our shopping as we possibly can. If you love making your way through all of the Empire State’s different seasonal markets as much as we do, then don’t miss out on spending a Saturday in this one small town!
Just outside the heart of Penn Yan, the Windmill Farm and Craft Market sits on 40-acres of beautiful land in the Finger Lakes.
