This year the Farmers Market Federation of NY is hosting a statewide event called Give Back NY to emphasize the importance of donations to food pantries in our communities.

-In 2019 we were able to contribute over 1,500 lbs of food donations to the Franklin Community Center in Saratoga Springs
-Franklin Community Center customers have said, “It’s expensive to eat healthy, thank you for helping us!”

This year with Give Back NY we hope to raise awareness of all the work our local food pantries do, work towards alleviating hunger in our communities, and develop a lasting partnership between farmers, food pantries, and local families.

We also hope that this awareness can launch a give back that keeps giving, no matter how small! What can you do to give back to your community?

Connecting our community with locally produced foo

Connecting our community with locally produced food is a priority of our markets. Through programs like SNAP/EBT, FreshConnect Checks, Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, and Power of Produce Club for kids, we are able to increase the accessibility of fresh, locally sourced food for all ages and economic levels while supporting our local economy.

In 2019, we:
- Handed out over $1,500 worth of free FreshConnect coupons to SNAP customers to spend at the market (funded by NYS)
- Gave $784 worth of tokens for fruits and vegetables to kids at our summer POP Club (thanks to generous donations by the Christopher Dailey Foundation!)
- Hosted the Office for the Aging on two market days to hand out free Farmers' Market Nutrition Program coupons to low-income seniors, and hosted the Division of Veterans' Services several times to distribute free coupons to veterans, active duty members, and their families

At this Wednesday's market, we continue this mission by hosting another week of POP Club (hosted by @saratogaspringslibrary!) and the Saratoga County Office for the Aging will be there (3-5pm) to hand out free coupons to low-income seniors.

Farmers' markets bring people together, even when

Farmers' markets bring people together, even when they're six feet apart! To kick off the start of National Farmers' Market Week we want to thank everyone who does their part to keep our community safe while continuing to support our local markets.

Farmers' markets are for communities. That's why our markets are dedicated to public health and safety, including additional hand washing stations, required masks, and social distancing.

It’s one of our favorite days of the week: MCM (Market Crush Monday)! This week we’re talking to Brian and Christina from Talmadge’s Vegetables!

1. Why did you start farming?
My father was a vegetable farmer too, so I grew up in the fields and watched him farm from a young age. (The couple now balances careers in teaching with operating the farm!) We love coming to the farmers’ market and sharing our produce with customers; interacting with them is our favorite thing.

2. What vegetables do you sell?
We sell a variety of fruits and vegetables, ranging from blueberries and cherry tomatoes to eggplants and green beans.

3. What is your favorite market meal?
Our girls, who come with us to most markets, love getting cookies from @the_chocolate_spoon and smoothies from @thesmoothieshoppe, it’s very refreshing - especially on a hot summer market day.

Come say hello to the Talmadge family every Saturday market, at the Wilton Mall from 9 am - 1 pm!
