Need an idea for how to cook with market items? Ask any of the vendors what they like to make with their products, or check out the recipe section of the Saratoga Farmers’ Market website, where new recipes are added each week featuring seasonal ingredients. Recent recipes include a peach-plum salsa and crispy kale chips.
If you are traveling as summer draws to a close, the market is a fun place to pick up a gift for your hosts: locally-made jam, honey, maple syrup, handcrafted pottery, sewn household items (aprons, dishtowels, baby presents), and hard cider are some of the many regionally-produced items the vendors are selling.
If you haven’t visited Saratoga Farmers’ Market at High Rock Park recently, make a plan to visit on Wednesdays (3 to 6 p.m.) or Saturdays (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and experience this favorite Saratoga destination. If you have questions once you arrive, stop by the green market shed (between the left and center pavilions as you face the market from the sidewalk), where you can find out about the market, use your debit/credit/EBT card to obtain market tokens, and sign up for the market’s e-newsletter for twice-weekly updates.
