John Jay Homestead Farm Market

John Jay Homestead Farm Market ties its Saturday shopping to the broader mission of Friends of John Jay Homestead, which invites members to join in fulfilling its mission. In Katonah, that gives the market a distinct frame: it is connected to a nonprofit historic site rather than operating as a stand-alone weekly market. The market is associated with John Jay Homestead at 400 Jay Street, placing it within the orbit of a site where Bedford House and the surrounding grounds remain central landmarks. That setting matters because the homestead’s public-facing work includes history, interpretation, and restoration, and the market sits alongside that larger institutional purpose.

Why it matters locally

Friends of John Jay Homestead anchors this market in Katonah through a mission tied to the homestead itself, inviting membership participation rather than treating the market as a purely transactional event. That gives the market a local role connected to preservation and interpretation at John Jay Homestead, where Bedford House is undergoing historic restoration work. The market is also woven into Katonah village logistics: the current market setup uses Lot 2 at 190 Katonah Ave, with parking in the lot and along Katonah Avenue, and a defined entrance at Coldwell Banker with exit at Katonah Art and Frame Shop. Those specifics place the market directly within the village street pattern rather than apart from it.

What you'll find there

Know before you go

Members get a plan-changing advantage here: Saturdays begin with a Members Only First Pick from 9:00am to 9:30am before the rest of the 9:00am to 2:00pm market window continues. For the current setup, the market is held in Lot 2 at 190 Katonah Ave in downtown Katonah village, not at the main homestead address alone, so navigation should be built around that village parking lot location. Parking is available in Lot 2, with additional parking on Katonah Avenue. The entrance is at Coldwell Banker and the exit is at Katonah Art and Frame Shop, which helps if you are orienting yourself on arrival. Dogs are welcome. Bedford House is currently closed for historic preservation and restoration work.
