PLEASE VOTE FOR US AS AMERICA’S FAVORITE MARKET!
THE 2010 OUTDOOR MARKET SEASON may be half over, but the bounty in the market is at peak levels!! The tomatoes are juicy sweet and plentiful. Late season raspberries have started making their appearance just as the blackberries and blueberries are declining. The flower vendors are bursting with glorious mid summer color and our vegetable farmers have more local product than you can imagine: squash, corn, beans, greens, carrots, beets, herbs, peppers–from the usual to the unusual–but all local and freshly picked. There is gelato, sorbets, milk, cheeses, meat, yogurts, baked goods, jams, wine, crafts and prepared foods. This year we added mushrooms and vegan dips and some gluten free items–we have more vendors than ever! And remember all product sold at the market is locally grown and/or locally made. Live music is scheduled for each and every market this season with as many new faces as old. Check our Events Calendar regularly to see all our special events that will happen throughout the season. Sign up for our e-letter and find out the late breaking news for the next day’s market. Hope you can join us!

Welcome to the Saratoga Farmers’ Market. Our market celebrated its 30th season in 2008. We have grown from a small group of local farmers in a parking lot to a group of over 50 local vendors set up two days a week in summer under permanent pavilions on High Rock Ave in Saratoga Springs. We also have a smaller summer market in Clifton Park Thursdays afternoons. In winter we continue to offer a wide variety of local fresh product. The winter market now boasts 30 vendors and we have moved this year to 220 Division St, to the Division Street Elementary School, Saturdays, 9a-1p.
We pride ourselves in being a LOCAL, PRODUCER ONLY MARKET. Unlike other markets, everything sold at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market must be produced locally (Schenectady, Reneselaer, Saratoga and Washington Counties). This means our fine products are very fresh and/or unique, and locally supportive of our community, economically, ecologically and socially.
Our year-round products include vegetables, fruits, spreads, marinades, honey, baked goods, meat, cheese, jams, yogurt and milk as well as crafters and on site prepared food. Many of our products are Certified Naturally Grown and Organic. All our vendors eat and use their products in their own homes and take great pride in their quality.
The market is a social place as well as a place of business. We love to see our clients use the market to supply their needs, but we also like to see the great social gathering it has become. Be it the beverage area of our own market booth, the live musicians, chef demonstrations or our community based special events, the Saratoga Farmers’ Market has become a regular social gathering spot for locals and a must visit stop for the tourists.
