Winter Farmers Market Finds a Home in Historic Naugles Barn

at Hallockville Museum Farm

Partnership with Riverhead Farmers Market brings local farmers, food producers, and community together on the North Fork throughout the winter

————————————

Hallockville Museum Farm is pleased to announce a partnership with the Riverhead Farmers Market to host the Winter Farmers Market in its historic Naugles Barn, bringing fresh, locally produced goods and a vibrant community gathering place to the North Fork throughout the colder months.

Beginning in November, the Winter Farmers Market will take place on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hallockville Museum Farm, offering residents and visitors an opportunity to shop local, support regional agricultural businesses, and connect with the people who grow and produce their food.

The partnership brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to local agriculture, community engagement, and the preservation of the region’s farming heritage. By welcoming the market into Naugles Barn, Hallockville offers a distinctive historic setting for a modern community tradition—one that celebrates the North Fork’s agricultural roots while supporting the farmers, makers, and small businesses that continue to shape its future.

“Hallockville is an active part of our region’s agricultural story, and hosting the Winter Farmers Market is a wonderful way to bring that story to life,” said Marianne Della Croce, Executive Director of Hallockville Museum Farm. “We are excited to work with the Riverhead Farmers Market to create a welcoming place where the community can shop locally, support our regional food producers, and stay connected to agriculture throughout the winter.”

“We are so excited for this new partnership! The Riverhead Farmers Market has been popping up in different locations since its first debut in 2013 in the old Sweezy’s building in downtown Riverhead. The market has moved several times since, but now at its 6th home we have renewed ambition. The market will bring some of the best locally grown, raised, caught and handmade items in the most beautiful space to date,” said Market manager, Rachel Stephens.

The Winter Farmers Market will offer visitors the opportunity to discover seasonal products and locally made goods while enjoying the unique atmosphere of Hallockville’s historic farmstead. The market also reflects Hallockville’s broader commitment to making the museum farm a year-round community resource, creating opportunities for local partnerships, education, and engagement beyond the traditional growing season.

Community members are encouraged to make the Winter Farmers Market part of their Saturday routine and experience the historic Naugles Barn as a gathering place for local food, small businesses, and community connection.
