There’s nothing like living a short stroll from a really good farmers market or farm stand—the kind with sun-warmed peaches, fresh-cut flowers, and friendly local faces that remember your name and your favorite zucchini muffins. These five listings are perfectly positioned for weekend market hauls, last-minute dinner inspiration, and the simple joy of supporting small farms and local makers. Whether it’s Round Swamp in East Hampton or the Hudson Farmers Market upstate, each one brings a little more color (and a lot more flavor) to daily life.

Being able to walk to Round Swamp might be the East End’s version of winning the lottery. This charming home is just four minutes away from the legendary local farm stand, making it almost too easy to pick up a container of their famous curry chicken salad, berry muffins, or whatever everyone’s obsessing over that week. It’s the kind of convenience you almost never find out here—and once you have it, there’s no going back.
