The Saratoga Farmers’ Market started in 1978 in a parking lot with a group of farmers who came together to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to the community. It has grown into a year-round award-winning farmers’ market that serves the greater area with locally grown and produced goods.
The farmers’ market has become a small business incubator with a strong sense of community and camaraderie. Through the years, the Saratoga Farmers’ Market has also become a source contributing to food security through the SNAP and Fresh Connect programs and partners with local organizations like the Comfort Food Community.
As the market continues to grow and has begun to host community festivals, there is an increased need for volunteer support to assist with special events and routine needs. They have a small but mighty team of volunteers: The Friends of the Market. Although the vendors contribute throughout the season in various ways, as the market grows, so does the need for volunteers. The Friends of the Market helps to:
Assist at the information booth.
Provide directional and informational support at the market(s).
Provide vendor relief and guest support.
Support specific programming and festival activities.
Assist with light setup and breakdown.
