Is it just me or are the farmers market videos just relaxing and very enjoyable?!
Watching other people work .... Very relaxing 😀
Not just you, relaxing and enjoyable but so are all of his other videos, these are more so though because we get to see him interacting with his customers.
They are
i love them too! i loved shopping with my mom every Saturday, i miss it!
Some of my favorite
Good morning Pete! Sunday morning time for my favorite video Just a few acres gotta love it! In the world we live in today it’s heart warming to just watch your show it gives me a sense of normalcy thanks again Pete!
So exciting to see a community come out to support local farmers and artisans.
"Supporting" is only temporary. Customers come back for quality and prices that is worth their hard-earned money. Buying from a local producer should always be a win-win for both the customers and producers.
Hi pete if I lived anywhere near you I would by all my meat and chicken’s from you regardless of the price seen how you grow everything so simple yet so fresh keep it up mate and hello from Australia
I feel the same way. But i am from Denmark in Scandinavia.
One of the nicest part of the video was seeing all those people once again out and about.
Our freedom to get out and socialize is critical beyond belief.
Great video Pete. Love everything about the farmers market, especially when you walk around and show the other vendors. Keep making your videos, always a plus when I see a new one is there to watch!!
I grew up in Seattle, and I never realized how lucky I was to have such a large farmer's market in my city. I know it's mostly famous for the "flying fish" mongers and the gum wall but, they sell everything there. From fruit, flowers and vegetables, to artisanal roasted almonds and pottery.
Washington state overall is pretty blessed with a lot of really good farmers markets, art fairs, community gatherings..
Dear Pete, I hadn't been on an excursion in a long time and was feeling shut in lately so, I said to myself what would be a fun change of pace and within a reasonable distance of Western Mass and I thought of you and Just A Few Acres Farm. I have been watching you regularly for about two years and I love your informative and engaging style, your wisdom and incredible mechanics' skills. I just got home this Sunday afternoon to find your new video from yesterday's market, and while I didn't make the cut 😉, this will always be on my favorites list. I just wanted to mention that though the long line of cars coming in moved slowly, it kept moving and people were always leaving, so spaces opened, up as early shoppers left. Inside the market is just as you described and more. This video was such a huge surprise and the perfect finish to my weekend at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. Thanks Pete.
I love your Farmers Market; I miss having one around as I used to frequent the ones in previous places I lived. It for me also embodies a sense of community, even if many of the customers are transitory, just a fun place to spend a couple of hours, with the benefit of very fresh, organic food. And it's nice to be able to speak to the person who produced all that goodness. Have a great day.
I felt like I had tuned into a PBS documentary. You're so thourough and down to earth. glad I found your family and channel. Keep doing what you do.
Thanks for the peek of the farmers’ market. I always enjoy it when you share your Saturdays at the market. We have a “traveling” farmers’ market that sets up on different on rotating days in several of our local, small cities. If you missed your favorite on Wednesday afternoon, you can find them on Sunday morning in the neighboring town.
Pete, I’m so happy that your day at the farmer’s market was so successful! You said in the last video that directly selling the food you produced to the people who would eat it is the most fulfilling part of being a small farmer, so you must have had a fantastic day.
Busy day 4 sure
Hello Pete. I finally got to watch your video just minutes after it was downloaded. I always enjoy your videos of the farmer's market, lots of neat things to see. We do have some farmers markets in our area, they are not quite as big as yours and we also have folks that set up little booths at selective stores parking lots. Probably a half a dozen or more within a 15 miles radius of my home. They are real fun to go to, we just don't make the time like we should. Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing, have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead.
Dan, really like you comment, we are limited to one or two farmers markets spread about 40 mile apart. In south Texas we have huge flea markets. You do have one or two sellers but not local produce. It's mostly imported stuff from Mexico they get from local warehouses. Have a nice day Dan.
@@southtexashay1 Thanks, hope you have a nice day too.
Pete, Hey, I completely understand what happens at farmers market and flea market.BUSY is the word can't video much when things are so busy BUT I really Love the relaxing moments when you have time to talk and take us around and explain the difference between your market.
Greetings from Florida! Wonderful vblog, Mr. Pete! I love watching them after attending Sunday services. Sir, you have an awesome way of video presentation. Thank you!
Always a good Sunday morning Pete video. Another good day at the market
My favorite series
Mine too
Hey Pete thanks for bringing us along at the farmers market, loved it, I wish you were close to me I would buy from you.
Loved seeing market and all the fresh produce and products.
Fantastic turnout, and everyone there is ready to spend money on local producers.
I don't remember seeing many mushrooms for sale during your little video tours. Might that be something you would consider growing?
Farmers markets are the life blood of independent farmers and need to be fully protected and supported
This has to be one of the most interesting and even exciting videos I've seen you do yet. I don't know why, but somehow the way you showed the lifeblood of the farmers market lit a fire under me to find out more about my own local area and I want to find out if there are farmers markets around my own neck of the woods. I live in the heart of Iowa and am surrounded as far as you can see by farmland so there MUST be farmers markets around here somewhere. It just hit me square between the eyes, the things you said, about the real value of having a farmers' market and making it a part of your life and how important it is to do so. Oh my goodness, you are so right!! I loved the way you took your camera and walked around the market showing all the many different kinds of vegetables and pointed them out and named them one by one, that was so incredibly interesting and informative, thank you for doing that one simple thing. I had no idea there were so many different varieties of tomatoes, I had no idea what some of those vegetables were called. I enjoyed that so much! It just never really sunk in, the true value of having this in a community and what a great resource it is for all people everywhere. I loved everything about this video, I want to hear more. I want to support this sort of thing. I want to join in and be a part of this wonderful basic need. Pete, you are such a blessing. I love what you do and the way you do it. Thank you!
Great point I think we have become so big for our own britches we’ve lost our direction. I can visualize vast Iowa farm land with endless rows of corn or wheat or even cows and pigs that you really can’t directly buy it’s gotten so commercial big business if you will, alot of mouths to feed. Looking back 50 or 100 years ago life seamed so simple now I’m not so sure the way we’re headed is the way to go.
Hello Pete As always look forward to the videos. As a farmer selling Chicken I would had never took the leap to make dreams come true without your videos and continued videos showing the good and the bad of farming. I had all intentions of starting a TH-cam channel but I simply can not find the time to do it with all the farm task. Keep up the great work and THANKS to you and your family for unknowingly giving many a drive, map and encouragement to step out of norm and run with our dreams. Fresh from Florida - Eric

Where in Florida are you? Looking for local food
Pete, I know your Market days are your de-stress day from the week, although living in a peace of heaven it shouldn't be to bad. Like you said its your meet and greet day and its great to get out from your everyday grind. Hope you have a blesses Sunday.
Great video Pete. I like the idea that everything is locally grown there. I'd do all of my shopping at a farmers market like that.
Thank you Pete. It’s always a joy to follow along with you at the Farmers Market. I Love seeing people enjoying themselves and having the opportunity to buy Local.
Hey, I’m a viewer from Germany, keep up the great work! I’d also be interested to know if you have to pay taxes (like VAT) when you sell at the farmers market and if so how does it work? Just thought of it as you spoke about bureaucracy…
Greetings from Berlin!
Good morning pete. I just came in from working in my garden and seen your new post. You inspire me to expand my hobbies. I live in Michigan and am currently researching chicken breeds for my seasons. I also just bought a john deere thats been in my family for over 80 years. With manuals and help from friends I plan to restore it.
The closest farmers market to me is in a state Park and is primarily crafts. I don't think the farmers are being invited so I've asked park staff to reach out to them. They don't think they would come. I advised them otherwise and got them some farmers numbers to try and help, told them people are looking for better quality than Walmart. Thanks for your videos Pete. Have a good day!
Pete we have lots of such markets here in the UK. Some newly formed but many going back hundreds of years. Thing is a good market that is properly regulated always has a certain buzz about it. Great video as usual that gives atmosphere and fleshes out the bones of where you live for your UK cousins. Talking of which my late cousin lived in Albany NY and knew your area well. Oh yes why not organise some hangers for your signage to save time at the end of the day// Cheers and god bless from the UK.
As always great video Sir 📸 ...
Greetings from Brooklyn NY 📌
Great Video Pete. Lots of people buying, we have a few of these places but not this big. I think its funny to see a Man with his hair in a Bun........A Man Bun and he has a Beard @ 7 : 25 / 15 : 04.🤣🤣
I watched a video on YT from CBC News called "Farmers market lies exposed". (This is Canada but it does show rules/regulations from California to prevent this)
You really don't realize how much goes into these markets until you see the dirty side of it and how much it affects people such as yourself.
I love that they make sure everything is in fact local, i think all places should do that.
Pete, We love your videos. No one does it better. Turning hard work into fun and a joy of doing your job makes for a great video.
When there is a premium price based on the public trust….the rules are required.
Too many unscrupulous, desperate and greedy people will just soon engineer a shortcut to violate the public trust through a path of least resistance: no rules.
Shortcut = saying you grew it and relying only on trust of acceptance.
Rules = saying you grew it and relying on trust ….But also verifying.
That gave me quite a chuckle. All that beef, pork, chicken and you eat tuna! 🤣🤣🤣
Re-sellers always give honest farmers a bad name. If I lived closer, I'd buy your beef, pork and eggs. Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring people genuine real, healthy food that's not contaminated and poor quality like the grocery stores. have a great day and I'll see you next time. ❤❤your channel!
Enjoy the farmers market videos. We have them around here, but I see room to enhance them with more products from the area. Always pick up something from you I can use.
I love ‘your’ Farmers Market! Integrity is important! Glad it works for you!
My favorite part is the people watching😶🌫️
Deisel prices are moveing up . Europe moveing off the Nat gas on too diesel now . Low u.s. deisel inventorys also right now .
I love watching the farmers market video.I wish we had one in Savannah, Ga. I love it when you call the cows ,COME ON COWS, and then come running.
I don't go to malls or shopping generally but I will hang with Pete at his Farmers Market. Haha. :-)
From my experience with Farmer's Markets you are absolutely right that is special place. I've a lot of reselling in Southeastern Indiana. I think some of it is because people just don't know any better, or maybe they don't want to. I believe you, inherently, get a different kind of vender and therefore a different kind of buyer. Everything looks first rate to me.
Awesome video thanks Pete. We just got into a market this year and it has been great to share what we grow with others and the demand is high!
Having been raised on a small farm in Wis. ., former ag teacher, gardening lover, I enjoy your videos so much . all 10 of us kids are Master Gardeners. Thank you and Hillary so much.
.
I love that market Pete - interesting to see very few fat people so healthy shoppers for healthy food. I would guess if you showed any any other area of vendors in US there would be a lot of fat people. I am a grower too in UK.
I'd enjoy a farmers market live stream. Very relaxing to watch. Thanks for the video.
Has the new truck allowed you to bring more to market?
Hello Peter. Yes, the farmer's market looked busy today. So much to pick from to make your weekly meals better!! Be well.
Happy things are getting back to normal. If they can get inflation under control we could all be doing so much better! Enjoyed your video as it was positive.
Amazing Stuff… I love your Videos of your Farm and to see all your hard work go to market and you actually working your Stand yourself AND Video Taping and editing… wow… You an Inspiration ❤️… Greetings from Germany!
Pete, I've had this idea floating around in my head for awhile. When you get around to finishing your old International pickup, what about finding a freezer box to replace the bed. You could use it for your farm to market truck. (Kinda like a Schwan's truck)
how old are ur boar pigs and how old are the female pigs
I would definitely give a good farmers market like yours my business. We only have the one here in the summer when vegetable farmers bring their crops. And I buy from them then. I saw so many things that you pointed out that I would buy. But the main thing I would want to purchase is meat for the freezer. And we don’t have that.☹️ so Pete, I would buy from you.
He has all your psychedelics and trips 🍄lsd, dmt and chocolate bars 👆🏻👆🏻cbs oil and all pills etc. thank me later
Enjoy your market vids.
you keep saying premium prices, but for the most part looks cheaper.
But maybe thats because im from GA
As some one who will be entering farmers market to sell beef myself, it was very interesting to see your take on a farmers market.
Hey Pete ....... how on earth do you get the coolers in the truck, they got to be heavy
Edit: ..... I know the little coolers don't weigh that much ... I was talking about the white freezers
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq Sorry I guess I should have send the Freezer ... I know the coolers don't weigh that much I have some of those
I enjoy all your videos, Pete, but I especially enjoy the ones of the farmer's market.
In my area we're very lucky to have two nice farmers' markets that run all year round. One in Troy, NY and one in Schenectady, NY.
As with your market, all things sold are produced by the farmers that sell them. No resale.
Neither is as nice as the one you have, but they are nice to go to.
I will get out to see you before the market goes inside.
Very enjoyable to see Pete. All those vegetables makes me hungry!
Thanks for sharing, always a pleasure.
who was your little helper at the end of the video? 😀😀
Another great video! It's nice to see what a great ambassador you are for the farmers market there in your area they are blessed to have you!
We need more people like you in this world Pete.
Thank you for taking us along! I really enjoyed seeing your farmer’s market!
Nice to see some fellow Michiganians there. By the way how long will chicken, beef or pork last in a freezer (if well frozen and no temperature changes)? I got some beef in my chest freezer that's been there for about 6 years and it looks good, I just don't know if it's still good.
Hi Pete! Great video! Next time you film a market video, if you have time to show the other vendors besides food vendors, I'd love to see what else sells at this market. The artists and craftspeople are of such interest. In an earlier part of my life, I used to sell my handmade soaps, greeting cards and stuffed animals at a very small Amish market close to where I lived at the time in Pennsylvania. I loved seeing the same people every week and growing a small regular customer base. Thanks for all your content - I love watching you and your family on your farm.
That place is awesome! You hit the nail on the head. Most of the places around here are just resellers or partial resellers. There are a few big produce auctions within a few hours of here, so that contributes to the issue. How do you compete with resellers?
I love he videos. I asked my subscribers to recommend some of the NON-BEEKEEPING channels they follow so that I could find some new channels to watch and several of them recommended your channel. I have to say I am a fan or your work ethic as well as you ability to make an entertaining video that holds the audience from beginning to end. Great channel. Me an my family thoroughly enjoy it but you really should add bees to your farm. More product for the farmers market. :-). If you ever want to learn how to do bees let me know and I'll make the drive to NY to teach you and help get you set up. Honey currently selling for 9.99 a pound and each hive can create up to 60 lbs a season. Very profitable for your farm. Take care. --Bug
P.S. It is also very addictive. 🙂
Market looks great today!
Thank you for the video Pete!
A lovely video Pete that market has a lovely calm and friendly atmosphere to it the location is great people sitting by the lake having lunch or a band playing, a great day for you selling all your stock as-well as promoting the market showing all the produce on other stall's good on you Pete.
Wow, amazing! I don’t mind those rules as it keeps things on the up and up. I would be in heaven if this type of set up was in my neck of the woods. I will definitely come out your way with my cooler.
Amazing, what a beautiful market. Everything looks healthy, fresh and tasty.

That’s the kind of farmers market I want to go too! Our local farmers market here had more junk than good food!
Thank you for sharing

I wish we have something like that closeby!❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
wish I lived closer... I would visit you there every weekend... probably even volunteer to help out.... ;-) Thanks for sharing Pete!
PETE, Hello, looks like you had a GREAT SATURDAY, NO, NO SUCH THING WHERE I live, green markets, visit towns different days, I HAVE NEVER been to the one in my town, it’s MONDAYS, the NEXT VILLAGE USED TO BE THURSDAYS I WENT FOR YEARS, THEN IT DISSAPEARED, the town said merchants bitched about taking up parking spaces& loosing business, so it went to town hall parking lot, venders had zero customers , so they lost venders like no tomorrow, so it’s at the ORIGINAL PLACE, BUT TUESDAYS, I met someone from town, and asked how things was,
Sorry I asked, but YOU, CREATED YOUR OWN LOSS OF VENDERS, THROUGH YOURNOWN STUPIDITY, SORRY, BUT WE NOW REALISED WHAT HAPPENED, , NOW NO CHEESE PICKLES HONEY, NOW I DO NOT EVEN BOTHER STOPPING BY , HOURS WERE 8-2PM we were so sorry she said, . I said yes THE TOWN KILLED IT . , GOD BLESS YOU ALL, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Pete!!!!!
(DON'T READ THIS MESSAGE IF YOU AREN'T UP FOR ANOTHER COMMENT ASKING FOR SOMETHING YOU SHOULD....... OR SHOULDN'T DO.........but if you are, please, keep reading......)
Lord knows you must have your (and Hilarie's) hands full getting ready for Saturday morning markets....but I (and maybe other viewers) would like to see what that is like.....such as....
1) Do you starting loading on Friday nights and keep the freezers plugged in until you go?
2) or.....Do you get up super early (4:00-5:00 ish) and load out everything yourself in the dark wee hours?
3) or....Do you call out the troops (a la, chicken moving days) to help load up?
4) and......who helps you unload and set up when you arrive at the market?
Just wonderin'
Keep up the "Good Work"

We have a farmers market in Plattsburgh, and many smaller villages have them also. The one in Plattsburgh is decent but they have moved it to different places as the city is moving things and building new infrastructure. I think there are a few places that the farmers market could have a permanent home, like the one you sell at, as it gets confusing every couple of years. Keep the great videos coming Pete
Wish we were nearer. A bit of a trip from the Bronx. What a great way to move products.
Thank you. If I am ever around Ithaca NY on a Saturday I will definitely stop by, buy some pork and chicken and say hello. Until then keep the vids coming and take care. From S. Texas.
Dear Pete & Co! I LOVE Weekend MKT content EVEN MORE than watchin' you mow hay! Hey! Who knew!!! THX again!
Good video! I love your farmers market. I wish I could come but I live in Michigan lol!
Your steak prices are on par with our local supermarkets prices for Angus beef, but your chicken prices are very high comparatively speaking. However yours is pasture-raised (organic too??) and the supermarket's is not. I get family packs of chicken legs that weigh about 5-6 lbs for $.99 a pound. I can't afford the meat at the prices you charge, Pete. But if I could afford it I gladly would because no doubt it's better quality and better for our health.
How can you sell your meat direct to consumers? Do you have to provide proof of an USDA stamp from an approved butcher?
Hi Pete 👋 best wishes to you and family, we'll I hope that one day you start selling on-line your products and if you do please add me to the list I would definitely buy and I'm sure your fans would do the same, we are starving for real food 😋
Good morning Pete & Hilary !!!
Hi Pete I love the videos of the Ithaca market, this Saturday was really crowded, better this way the economy runs, a hug from Italy to you and your loved ones. :)
Along with the beautiful New York women I always comment. Liver. 3/lb. Man O man I'm missing out! I bet Dexter liver is exquisite!!
daylight savings time four o'clock CHEESE MEAT PEPPERS trail mix actually ; not available goes unbothering energy hops abbey incorrect hookah is happs since the woods stale also trail mix actually | the ops don't got no food
Hi. I was wondering, how much do you sell your eggs for? I buy from a local farm here in Oregon and pay $6 doz or $3.50 for 1/2 doz of extra large eggs. Love going out to their farmstore and buying eggs and beef. Thanks for the great videos. 🙋🏻♀️☺️

Our markets are trash. 2 local farmers interspersed with trinkets from China. "Home Grown Tomatoes" when the booth has the big brown boxes that they bought from wholesalers. We don't even bother going anymore.
The company I retired from had over 2500 varieties of celery.
Wow, I saw our neighbors from Michigan! They bought some meats ! way cool!
I hope to come down from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦 and say hello near the end of September. Is this a Saturday or Sunday market?
grass fed rib eye steak at $16 USD per pound which works out to to roughly $21AUD per pound and when converted into kilo’s it works out to about $47 AUD per kg which is still cheaper than what I buy it for at a butcher here in Melbourne Australia……….
