it's nice to see your market thriving. When so much stuff about the US is negative these days, it's encouraging to know there are still people like you and places like the market.
There are SO MANY people and places like this in the United States. The media CHOOSES to focus on and push out negative stories. Trust me, there seems to be an agenda to try to keep people focused on anything bad. There are millions of Americans who are good, honest folks, who do NOT hate or mistrust their neighbors! I know it's hard sometimes, but I really hope and pray that more and more of us focus on the good people and various communities that make this country the best place to live. ❤🙏🏼🇺🇲
It was a pleasure for me and my wife to meet you at the market this weekend (and to buy your last whole chicken). One thing I forgot to mention was that your videos inspired me to track down my late grandpa's 1948 Farmall Cub that I remember riding with him as a boy. With my grandma's help, I tracked it down, bought it from the farmer who had it, and plan to keep it in the family. Thanks for helping keep us connected to the land, the food we eat, and to our heritage. And if you ever do a Farmall Cub restoration video, I will be forever grateful!
This is awesome. I’m in Ireland, and currently restoring my grandfather’s Fordson Super Dexta. Tractor restoration is good for the soul! And a tangible reminder of how our parents and grandparents lived their lives. Pete has been a great inspiration for me too, even if my tractor is blue 😅
Hi Pete....Another outstanding video this week.....we look forward to all of your videos...So good seeing you back at the farmers market again..Enjoy your week.....May God bless your farm....
@@eastafrica1020These used to be normal in America. My small city used to have a square where a farmer could sell his produce out of a cart but a parking lot next to the library on Sunday is where farmers can bring their produce to sell now. Grocery stores largely got rid of direct sales.
if India or China will convert to these type of food consumerism from slop food. They gonna need to increase their territory to 10 000x. They gonna need more rich class population who can afford vehicles to travel to Farm Markets to support these inefficient so-called organic farmers etc..
The Market makes you feel alive with everybody walking around searching for that right item to take home. It's a nice way to spend a Saturday with everybody.
I was just wondering the other day why you had not had a Market Day in a while and then here it is!! Thanks much Pete and greetings to you and Hillary from the State of Nevada.
Thanks for bringing back the farmer's market. It brings another element to your/the farming process. From birth in and on the farm to consumer. It's showing the process in full circle.
Love the farmers market videos. Enjoyed it when i visited personally. Glad that such a venue survived Covid shutdowns and continues to support the local farming/ artisan community
Thanks for the video. It is uplifting to see the positive interaction among all the peoples. I would be thrilled to attend the Ithaca Farmers Market some day.
Thank you for posting your video of “my day at the market”. It was such a blessing to see everyday folks enjoying the simple pleasures and joy of direct marketing. Glad you had a successful day! Thanks again for taking all of us along.
Pete it’s nice to see you back at market and selling well. It’s nice that people come from other states to visit you at market. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hi Pete and watchers. I have watched your videos for years and never get tired of watching. I like it all - rebuilding farm equipment, spreading manure, auctions and everything in between. I grew up in Iowa and had family who farmed. I hate city life and find your farm a wonderful place to visit weekly Please say hello to Hillary and the kids.
Good morning Pete nice to see you at farmers market...Great perspective to the other finger lakes in similarities in markets in New York State...thank you Pete
Awesome day and getting to meet new people is a plus . Thank you for keeping a farm and taking it to market for all to see . Have a great day Pete , May God bless you and your family , and the farm .
Far too many people don't know what they have. Until it's gone. I'm deeply appreciative for everything and everyday that I have. Thanks for the market video!! Always enjoyable.
In my opinion. Quite few younger adults are very disrespectful to older generation as myself. Even at work. They talk to you like have no sense. Bs. You ask them direct question about something. They toss you off. No respect. No drive to help. More inclusive to their generation
Farm markets are an essential way for all farmers to be known and people to know and learn about their products. Here in Québec, Canada, i live all my life surrounded by farms of all sizes and most are able to sell their products on the side of the road of their farm, i had been living here since i was 3 yeas old and my grandparents would always bring us with them on weekends to go and walk about farms, the local town market etc. Sadly for a few years now some interlopers had invaded the local markets and have been selling produce that comes from Montréal grocers market where we don't know where said produce are produced either. Here in Canada we had been plague with those fake produce, where the vendors do a switch-roo and ask ridiculous prices as well, which also hurt farmers in every area in the end 😞 It is so nice to see you walk around the market, show other people produce, how they make them etc. So nice of you and see the love and engagement Pete, thank you. Everyone should support their local farmers 🙂
It’s funny- back in the day every farmer pressed out apples and had an oak barrel or two in the shed. Straight from the press to the barrel, nothing added but the bung to seal it up. ‘Round about the end of February my grandfather would grab a length of clear plastic tubing and he and I would go see if it was good and fizzy yet. Now it’s gourmet.
I'd like to see a few more of these Pete, the way you incorporate the market into your videos is essential to the content of the channel. It's gold star class, well done. :))
Look how close you are to a half million subscribers! Holy wow! You deserve each and every one. We should start a pool for the date and hour. lol No idea how quickly people jump on board when the numbers are so high, but I'll go with my birthday and hour, Sept. 20, 8am.
Interesting, entertaining, informative and well put together. Thanks for sharing! I agree that these local markets are important to the success of farming. Keep up the great work!
Hi Pete. We’ve watched you for years. Great to see how your farmer’s market runs. It was your success that lead us to sell at ours. We’ve sold for 2 years. We are the only vendor at ours on Saturdays. Occasionally a second vendor will set up but they typically are short lived. It’s hard work. But unlike you, our community as a whole doesn’t value homegrown food vs. Walmart. I’m still giving it a good fight. But it’s definitely not financially supporting our farm. You are very blessed to have one nearby.
May I suggest that you have beautiful display color photo signs, of your Beef etc. so passerbys who are too busy to read, will get a glimpse of your healthy meats and poultry. I wish I lived closer, I would buy it all!🥰
Pete my Wife works with the ENC honey and I didn’t even know all the different kinds of honey. They also sell Pollen Pills for allergies and several different wine Honey Vinegar and it’s good. They sell local pecans that are turned into candied Pecans done by the mennonites. She enjoys it all. Just another type of agriculture. The pollen pills really help People with allergies. Keeps her busy!
Your final comments ring so true..in the area that I live in the county has a population of 11,000 and farmer market need lots more people to be a viable option.
The first video of yours that I have watched. With that being said, I completely agree with your closing statement. If you want fresh local produce/goods you have to support those farmers that put so much into raising those items.
I wish every town and city had farmers markets all over instead of endless aisles of big box chains. I think the other thing that makes your market great is that it is not seasonally closed, it has the two week hiatus and everything is back on.
wish I could come to your market...I am a retired produce man with 42 years of service...I always loved farming and had a lot of farmer friends I used to go to market daily and deal with them to buy my produce to sll in a super market. As I say I would love to come out and see you watch all your videos but unfortunately Ican't walk to well anymore..I am 75 years old Keep up the nice videos...
Always enjoy a couple videos of your market days. I you stated, it is a very important part of your operation. Without it small farms are tough to survive. The area I’m from has finally got a good group together and have setup selling together making their own on farm markets.
Enjoyed. My Dad was raised on the family farm. They grew apples, pork, chicken and grew their own feed. My cousins farm it now. We still have the copper cauldron the cider was made in. The farm was its own market, being on a state road. Thanks, Pete!
One thing I find interesting about farmer’s markets is it’s really so similar to the way goods were sold for probably thousands of years. I wish we had more of an open market in every community.
Pete we had the privilege to meet you here at the market last fall. We truly do believe that this type of market is indeed the missing link for the farm to table. We purchased some of your ground beef and it was very delicious and we could tell the difference right off. Thanks for another trip to the market. Love these videos.
Wonderful video Pete. It just ended way, way too soon. And a big thank you for highlighting some of your fellow vendors; you can see the pride in their work just by observing their produce and products. Here’s wishing you good haying weather. 😊
Hey Pete, I really enjoy watching your market videos. That is such a great idea for the community to support the locals. And the produce looks fabulous. I just found local honey at our local market, and bought some, it's very tasty. Thanks again for Sharing your story. 😊
Hello from West Tennessee. Love you and Hillary's videos . Love the care you take of the animals . We live so far out in the boonies we have to pump in sunshine. LOL ! We do manage to have a small garden . It would be great to have market like ya'll have . My husband and I so much regret not fencing in our property 20 years ago when we retired so we could raise our own meat . It is so wonderful you sharing your farm life. Thank you so much. God bless.
I wish our locality had a market system like this. You are blessed to have it. I am in my 70's and old enough to recall the huge indoor Farmer's market that we attended most Saturdays in Williamsport, PA. The facility was huge with, I would guess, well over 100 (likely many more than that) vendors including multiple fresh meat vendors. In the late 70's or early 80's the market ceased to exist as attendance declined and the lard brick building torn down. I had moved from the area by then but family remained. When they told me about its demise I could hardly believe it. I recall it as so well attended the aisles were frequently packed and it was a challenge to navigate around without brushing up against patrons. Since that time smaller outdoor markets have sprung up in the area as there seems to be a bit or a resurgence of interest in farm to table food but the grandeur of the big indoor market will likely never been seen in our area again. What a loss.
Thanks for sharing your day at the farmers Market and giving us a tour Pete. I sure wish we lived closer, fresh carrots, beans and other vegetables would be so good. And your products, your meats look so good. Bbq worthy.
Hi Pete, thanks for a day with you at the market. Really appreciate the quality of food products and wish I could shop at your market but I’m here in Katy, TX so it would appear that I’m unable to visit you in the near future. Take care and give my best to Hillary and the rest of your family.
Thank you again Pete. I think you are helping to open eyes to a younger generation that good food production is a viable livelihood. Again a thank you to you and Hillary and the family for giving us our weekly dose of serenity.
Here here to those closing thoughts. Farmer's markets like this should be all across the country. I'm fortunate enough to live in a city with at least a half dozen farmer's markets and I love them, but none are quite as impressive as the Ithaca farmer's market. I used to live in the Bay Area and the Mountain View, CA farmer's market was actually of the caliber of the Ithaca market.
I know from previous posts you are not keen on doing Farmer's Market Video's but I have waited a long time for this. We (Wife and I ) really enjoy watching you at the market selling and then above all when you take us on a tour. its really nice to see other farms in the northeast thriving and what they are selling and doing. We' not farmers per se. but live in farm country we have farmas all around us. we are on an old farmland ourselves. thanks for taking the time to share the market Pete It is a welcome video here at our household. God speed. ECF
Pete I visit New Jersey twice a year advised niece to come visit you glad to see your smile calmness I raise black angus with a tick of ear meaning a little Brahman 1/8 or less hope to see you and wife stay healthy
Another Great video Pete.....I was surprized when the one family said they were from Grand Rapids Michigan.... That is where I grew up..... NOw I live about 60 miles North-East of there.... Maybe one day I can make it down there & meet you...... Have an Awesome day my friend
When I was little, my Dad would take us to the Farmer's Market and it was always alot to see, smell, and the mass of people. And even take us on Saturdays to the produce stands that sold corn, peaches, blueberries, tomatoes and other seasonal veggies. I always remember the smells like farm animals and ofcourse the best, was the county fair with all the big tractors. Thank you for your family's hard work and explanation of what really goes into a small farm and the market.
Pete, the market is very interesting and a real hub of diversity of products. The large crowds are a testament to all the vendors and there hard work to make this a successful venture.
Pete, it is so great to see the Ithica market and to know it is not a resell market. Even the peanuts here come dried from else where and some of the vendors put them into a pot of water--rehydrate and call them boiled. Only wish Enterprise could do the same. I liked it a whole bunch better when the farmers sold out the back of their trucks. So much more was grown by the local farmers--now it has turned into a big resale market--when the city decided to build a building and call it a "Farmers Market". In my opinion, the quality has gone down. Do enjoy your video's.
Thanks Pete for your time and effort to make this excellent video! You've helped me recall the great Farmer's Markets I have shopped at, including at the Embarcadero in San Francisco, and in downtown Iowa City, Iowa (another great University town, like Ithaca). In Britain during medieval time, the church or the delegates of the royal government gave 'charters' that permitted certain rural towns to have a regular recurring Market Day. Without that, the rural economy would have tanked. I wonder if the Romans in Britain had an identical system during the centuries they occupied Britain! Oops, there I go again . . . Evelyn in Minnesota
The market helps people by growing and the small farmer as outlet for for their quality food and products. Thank you Pete and Hillary for your wonderful videos and sharing. The best channel to watch!❤
it's nice to see your market thriving. When so much stuff about the US is negative these days, it's encouraging to know there are still people like you and places like the market.
True! We need more of these markets.
@@bgatlin5918problem in my area is prices are so outrageous from buying direct, that people just continue to go to grocery stores
Look at the culture to understand why
I think the majority of Americans are just like this. The news just shows you all the bad.
There are SO MANY people and places like this in the United States. The media CHOOSES to focus on and push out negative stories. Trust me, there seems to be an agenda to try to keep people focused on anything bad. There are millions of Americans who are good, honest folks, who do NOT hate or mistrust their neighbors! I know it's hard sometimes, but I really hope and pray that more and more of us focus on the good people and various communities that make this country the best place to live. ❤🙏🏼🇺🇲
And the Ithaca Farmers market couldn’t thrive without all its hardworking farmers!
Thanks for posting this video. Nice to see you back at the market. You do seem so happy there as well as the customers.

Pete is a man of many talents. In addition to all the skills he demonstrates on the farm, he is also a charismatic and congenial salesman.
Thanks for taking us to the Farmers Market. I enjoy it.
Hi Pete....Another outstanding video this week.....we look forward to all of your videos...So good seeing you back at the farmers market again..Enjoy your week.....May God bless your farm....
Me too it’s fun to people watch as well as get the insight.
Thanks for taking us along with you 👍👍✌️
Nice to see Pete and the farmers market vendors and customers all having a good time. Kind of reassuring
The world needs more markets like this.
@@eastafrica1020 That´s fantastic.

I love the mix of livestock, fencing, haying, tractor/equipment rebuilding and maintenance, gardening, market and the day in the videos. Huge fan!
I always enjoy the farmers market videos. Thanks for posting!
I look forward to waking up on Sunday morning getting a cup of coffee and watching just a few acres farm. ❤
Thank you Pete for taking us to the market again with you, it's been a while .

Thanks for posting Pete
Good morning and thanks for all your videos love the market videos Pete
Pete we had the privilege to meet you here at the market last fall. We truly do believe that this type of market is indeed the missing link for the farm to table. We purchased some of your ground beef and it was very delicious and we could tell the difference right off. Thanks for another trip to the market. Love these videos.
I hope that when I visit this wonderful market that you are there Pete so I can try your wonderful and delicious looking products.
Wonderful video Pete. It just ended way, way too soon. And a big thank you for highlighting some of your fellow vendors; you can see the pride in their work just by observing their produce and products. Here’s wishing you good haying weather. 😊
Glad you posted a video I love the videos from the farmers market
I am from Michigan and not too
far from Grand Rapids. I loved to see someone from home.
Thank you, for the market tour. What a beautiful market!
Great video thanks again mate
Hey Pete, I really enjoy watching your market videos. That is such a great idea for the community to support the locals. And the produce looks fabulous. I just found local honey at our local market, and bought some, it's very tasty. Thanks again for Sharing your story. 😊
Yay! Love the market videos. I sure wish we had a farmers market in our area, yours looks very well kept too.
Great job Pete. Glad you did well. Nice tour of the market.

Excellent market video Pete,always nice to see,and also the market would not be much without local support it's a beautiful thing.
Thanks Pete for another awesome Sunday morning video.
Pete, it is so great to see the Ithica market and to know it is not a resell market. Even the peanuts here come dried from else where and some of the vendors put them into a pot of water--rehydrate and call them boiled. Only wish Enterprise could do the same. I liked it a whole bunch better when the farmers sold out the back of their trucks. So much more was grown by the local farmers--now it has turned into a big resale market--when the city decided to build a building and call it a "Farmers Market". In my opinion, the quality has gone down. Do enjoy your video's.
Hello Pete enjoyed your video thankyou. Looks great there very busy. Have a great day.
Oh so enjoyable. Thanks Pete.
Thanks Pete, good work! see you on the next one.
Indeed I to am grateful for farmer's markets ...we have one here also in Pocatello Idaho
Wow shout out to grand rapids MI. I'm in Muskegon county.
Thanks Pete for your time and effort to make this excellent video! You've helped me recall the great Farmer's Markets I have shopped at, including at the Embarcadero in San Francisco, and in downtown Iowa City, Iowa (another great University town, like Ithaca). In Britain during medieval time, the church or the delegates of the royal government gave 'charters' that permitted certain rural towns to have a regular recurring Market Day. Without that, the rural economy would have tanked. I wonder if the Romans in Britain had an identical system during the centuries they occupied Britain! Oops, there I go again . . .

Thank you so much for a video of the market. It has been missed.
Awesome video Pete .. thank you so much for sharing the market with us
Here in the UK grass reared sirloin would be about $18 a pound, so your $11 is very good value.
These are how I found the channel and my favorite, as a seller myself (not at farmers markets)its very interesting
The market helps people by growing and the small farmer as outlet for for their quality food and products. Thank you Pete and Hillary for your wonderful videos and sharing. The best channel to watch!❤
