ONLY GOOD ENERGY AT ASTORIA FARMERS MARKET

AFM is an independently run farmers market operation un-affiliated with any other markets in New York City — and we are proudly the only farmers market in Astoria, Queens!

We are a separate organization from our host, the 31st Ave Open Street Collective, and unrelated to other programming hosted by 31OS. Visit the 31OS website to explore opportunities to get involved with 31OS events.

AFM requires a formal application and onboarding process to approve all vendors. We do not offer walk-up tabling or vending opportunities.

As part of the onboarding for this food industry event, all approved AFM vendors are required to uphold DOH safety regulations, provide a Certificate of Insurance and valid food producer business license or exemption, and sign an agreement of conduct.

Farmers and small food business owners interested in future vending opportunities with AFM can email your business overview to info@astoriafarmersmarket.com any time. AFM opens a vendor application early in the new year for each upcoming season.

AFM currently takes place on 31st Avenue between 33rd–35th Streets in Astoria, Queens, NY. Starting in 2026, we are operating fully on the 34th–35th St block, and partially on the 33rd–34th St block.

Please note: The block on 33rd–34th St is shared with other donation-based programming held by 31OS. Astoria Farmers Market signage and vendor map is present on the street to clarify the starting point of the farmers market. Please visit the yellow AFM Info tent with any questions about our participating vendors!

Astoria Farmers Market takes place 2nd and 4th Sundays in 2026 through November 8th.

Selling hours are 12:30–5:00pm on market dates. Some vendors may sell out of product sooner than 5:00pm, so we recommend arriving towards the beginning of the market whenever possible.

Due to high demand from both our guests and vendors, AFM responded to across-the-board requests to increase the program.

Currently, Astoria Farmers Market is only open from late May through early November. While we intend to remain a peak-season market for the foreseeable future, we are continually gauging interest in a year-round market or off-season activities. If this is meaningful to you, feel free to let us know in our Feedback Form!

This season, you can expect between 25-30 vendors each market date. Starting in 2026 we are able to operate on both blocks of the 31st Ave Open Street, so we we will have an expanded capacity compared to last year.

AFM vendors accept a minimum of two forms of payment at Astoria Farmers Market — this could include cash and credit/debit, and some accepting Venmo, PayPal, etc. 

While AFM is not currently authorized to issue SNAP/EBT benefits at the market level, several of our vendors participate individually. Vendors accepting SNAP/EBT and FMNP coupons will be indicated on our website and market maps on-site.

Yes, leashed dogs (and cats!) are allowed at Astoria Farmers Market. We have a dog water bowl at the yellow info tent.
