March Market Open!


Hi everyone,

Even though it doesn’t quite feel like spring yet, March is here which means it’s time for another farmer’s market!

There are some new items available, including garlic salt, powder, and canned items from Rehoboth.

Beth says the carrots are still super but since she knows they will probably be sprouting within a month she is offering smaller 2 lb bags instead of the usual 5 lb bags. She also notes that the “potatoes are still firm but beginning to show little sprouts – still good and safe.”

As always, please email with any questions!

Feb Market Open (for real this time)


Hi everyone,

You might remember from my previous post that I opened the market a week ahead of time (I blame all the exciting events in Lake Placid; my calendar became muddled). ;)

If you have already ordered, no worries, your order is still in the system. You can message me if you want to add something. If you want to order, please do so before the cut off day and time of Monday February 13 at 12 midnight.

Look forward to seeing you and thank you for supporting local farmers!

Hi everyone,

Well, I was so eager to start the market this month that I opened ordering a week ahead of time! Sorry about that.

If you haven’t already ordered, you have several days to do so until I close the market Monday February 13 at 12 midnight.

Thank you for your understanding and hope to see you at the market!

Vote for Good Food--November Market Open!


It’s only a few days until the Presidential Election, but you have a chance to vote early—with your dollar, for good food!

You’ve no doubt heard the idea, “vote with your dollar” for local and/or organic food, and it’s absolutely true. Your support of farmer’s markest like this one helps markets grow and, helps farmers grow more to provide for their customers. Even using this market to supplement existing CSA arrangements or other food purchases helps the farmers continue to provide excellent products. Please feel free to share this market with friends. :)

That being said, we have some exciting updates.

?First, Asgaard Farm is back! They have added some exciting items like beef burger patties, beef bratwurst, goat milk caramels, pork products, and several varieties of cheese. Welcome back Asgaard!

Second, in case you missed it, we welcomed a new grower to the market: Eckert Tree Farm, selling maple syrup and several varieties of shelving made at the Farm. You can read more about their admirable maple syrup practices at their website https://www.madebytheadirondacks.com/ and try some maple syrup this month if so inclined!

Third, there are fine offerings from Beth at Rehoboth Homestead, including beets, chicken, fresh duckling, eggs, potatoes and more. I’m particularly excited about sweet potatoes, which are always a staple but especially in the winter months coming up.

Check out the offerings below and feel free to email with any questions!

Reminder: New Payment Method for Market


Hi everyone,

In my haste to send out the October blog post, I forgot to mention that we are switching payment methods. We will be using Square for the Market, which means that instead of your credit card being charged automatically when orders are closed after pick up, you will bring a credit card with you for pickup and run it through the system. This is a lot easier from an accounting perspective for us and hopefully will be easier for you too…not only will you know when the payment is coming through, but Square offers the option of texted or emailed receipts. If you have any questions, please let me know. Look forward to seeing you!

October Market Open!


Hello everyone,

Although it has felt like summer the past few days, it’s still October…and time for the October Market!

We are happy to welcome Adirondack Made to the market, selling Maple Syrup and rustic wood products! All latter products are made primarily of materials harvested from their tree farm, and all the wood work is done on-site. The syrup is produced without the use of plastic tubing (instead sap is hand carried) and in an incredibly sustainable way to make a pure and delicious maple syrup. You can read more about their production methods at their website, https://www.madebytheadirondacks.com/.

Also added to the market this month is produce like peppers, eggplants, beets, and more. This is a great time to stock up on Fall and Winter staples!

As always, please email me with any questions!

Best,
