Amityville Farmer’s Market Continues To October 25

The Amityville Farmers Market has returned to its bucolic setting on the lawn next to First United Methodist Church. Located at 25 Broadway (aka Route 110), the lawn provides room for shoppers to stroll around while patronizing the vendors at the Market.

Our amazing farmer (Dobler Farms) is joined by Horman’s Pickles, Baked at Home (Simply Delicious treats), Sal & Jerry’s Breads, Queen Ann Ravioli, and more enticing food and beverage vendors, including Montauk Smoked Fish, AfroGato Coffee, and Jessy’s Empanadas on various dates.

The Market operates on Saturdays from 9 AM – 1 PM through October 25th. Check both the Amityville Farmers Market Facebook and Instagram pages (@amityvillevillage farmersmarket) or the Bay Village Civic Association Facebook page (@ bayvillagecivicassociation) for any updates (weather related or other concerns).

Wonderful craft vendors join them, some on alternating weeks. Stop in to see who is there weekly. You will definitely be pleased!

The Amityville Farmers Market is sponsored by the Bay Village Civic Association in conjunction with FUMC. Parking is available on the street as well as in the municipal parking lot across Broadway.

The Bay Village Civic Association represents the residents of the Village

of Amityville. It has conducted a market in the village for fifteen years and thanks the shoppers for their support.

The BVCA offers “Amityville on the Bay” merchandise to purchase for adults and children. Funds raised are utilized for scholarships, local projects, and the support of other community needs.

Also, we have partnered with the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless to help restock their pantry on August 16th, September

Summer Senior Advocate Schedules

Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) is pleased to inform Babylon and Huntington residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Summer 2025 Senior Advocate Schedule. Senior advocates are County representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with information gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies.

“It is so important for us to provide our senior

citizens with the assistance and information they need in ways that are most convenient to them. These visits allow our seniors to connect with our County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,” said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”

Did You Know?

Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may find their efforts at doing so are more convincing if they volunteer themselves.

A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children. Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition, adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

Get Ready For The Amityville Village Garage Sale

The Village of Amityville’s second annual community garage sale returns on Saturday, September 13th, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents looking to clean out can also clean up, and make a few extra dollars. This garage sale will not count toward the annual Village limit of two sales per household a year, and

the garage sale permit fee will be waived.

Last year, nearly 100 homes signed up to participate, making Amityville a browser and shopper paradise. Shoppers can find treasures such as clothing, decorative and craft items, books, novelties, as well as tools, sports, cooking and boating equipment, furniture and other household merchandise.

“This event attracts more visitors to the Village than a single sale would. We’re excited to support our residents and hopefully also generate additional traffic to our retail shops, restaurants and many services in the Village,” said Amityville Village Mayor Michael O’Neill.

A list of participating homes and a sale finder map will be provided on the Village’s website starting in August, and at Village Hall during the week prior to the event (21 Ireland Pl., Amityville, NY). Visit Amityville.com for updates and information. In the event of rain, the sale will take place on Sunday, September 14th.

The garage sale extends from neighborhoods south of Sunrise Highway to the Great South Bay, and from County Line Road on the western boundary to the areas off Bayview/South Bayview Avenue to the east. The Village reminds shoppers to drive safely and adhere to all traffic rules and parking signs, especially in the residential neighborhoods.

To sign up for the sale, Village residents may contact Amityville Village Hall at 631-264-6000, or email Mayor@amityville. com using the subject: Garage Sale. Happy shopping!
