Welcome to the Saratoga Farmers’ Market located at Wilton Mall Saratoga Springs, NY.  We are here to serve the community from November to April on Saturdays 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM.  

We are a 501(c)3 and our market has been in existence since its creation in 1978; the first in the area of its kind.  Our Saturday Winter Market was created to serve the community with locally grown and produced items throughout the off-growing season.  

Our Winter market offers a variety of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, ready made meals, fresh brewed coffee and locally roasted coffee beans, locally grown meat products, fresh eggs, locally produced dairy products, fresh baked goods, an array of floral vendors, arts & crafts, locally produced items such as jams, spice mixes, honey, maple syrup, distilleries and other gifts and creative finds.  There are added vendors that participate in November and December as part of our Holiday Market activities.

You will discover a calendar of activities throughout the season including musical entertainment, educational activities, workshops, children’s activities and special events.
