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!

The weather was a bit cool. but the spirits were warm and the enthusiasm contagious. There was plenty of coffee, tea and hot chocolate to help warm the fingers. We had close to 25 vendors open and selling wonderful fresh and local product. Included in the 25 were some new vendors: Battenkill Creamery, selling hormone free fresh cow’s milk (even chocolate), Argyle Cheese with their incredible yogurts and cheese curds. As the season continues and temps warm we will be seeing more and more vendors return to an eventual peak of 45!
