New York's First Marijuana Farmers Market Will Open This Week, Regulators Announce
New York’s first marijuana farmers market will open on Thursday in the Hudson Valley, state regulators announced. About one month after the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) started accepting applications for the new Cannabis Growers Showcases (CGS) program, regulators said in a press release on Wednesda...
Licensed growers Queen Farms and Empire Farm 1830, as well as the retailer Legacy Dispensers, will also be on-site to sell their cannabis products. The farmers market will be open in the New Paltz municipal parking lot from 4-8pm Thursdays on Fridays and 1-8pm on Saturdays. This will continue to place each week until the end of the year or a traditional retailer opens in the village.

More farmers and a bit of try-before-you-buy :-)
Hopefully the event grows into something that really resembles a farmers market. This just sounds like an open air dispensary with two brands, not farmers selling directly to consumers.
