Nothing chases away winter’s chill like a bowl of hearty, homemade soup. The diverse, farm-fresh food brought to Saratoga Farmers’ Market each Saturday offers ample selection—even in the middle of winter—to create a tasty and nutritious soup at home.

According to recent summaries of food trends for the coming year, fermentation is something we’ll continue to hear more about in 2013’s recipes, menus, and food news.

For all of you interested in food and farms—and particularly if you lean towards support of organic options when you have the chance—there’s a don’t-miss event coming up right here in Saratoga later this month.

From January 25-27 at the Saratoga Hilton and Saratoga Springs City Center, the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (usually called “NOFA”) has its annual Winter Conference. And you’re invited to attend!
