The top reasons to visit a farmers' market near you
1. You help grow the local economy. Money spent locally tends to remain in the local community.
2. You support small farmers who are committed to providing you with fresh, high quality food.
3. You get to personally know the people who grew the food, baked the bread, and knit the sweater.
4. You take home fresh and probably healthier produce and products.
5. You will have fun.
6. You don't need a shopping list. Just take home the freshest and the best and plan meals around your purchases.
7. If you are lucky enough to be in the Albany NY area, you can visit the Capital District Market at 381 Broadway in Menands.
The Menands market is open to the public on Saturdays from May through October from 8 AM to 1 PM. In addition to Schoharie Valley Farms (The Carrot Barn), other vendors include an Amish baker, several crafts vendors, a bread baker, and other fruit and vegetable vendors. Saturday, July 25 will be the Corn Festival, but every weekend there are wonderful reasons to visit.
At the Schoharie Valley Farms booth, in addition to the vegetables, Stony Brook Farm sells pasture-raised and grass-fed pork, lamb and chicken. And the handsome young farmer who raises the animals is my son, so say hello from The Quilted Cook.
