The Ithaca Farmers Market is a fabulous and well-organized marketplace that offers an excellent selection of local foods, crafts, and superb street food choices, with a variety of nationalities represented. The market has controls on who can sell and what can be sold, making it one of the best farmer's markets the reviewer has experienced. The peaceful atmosphere, especially when sitting on the dock and enjoying something good to eat, is a highlight. While parking can be a bit of a challenge, the market is worth the effort, with fresh fruits, handmade wood utensils and bowls, baked goods, and other local produce available. The covered market allows businesses to operate rain or shine, providing a pleasant shopping experience for visitors.
