Kid’s club at the market

The Saratoga Farmers’ Market is preparing to launch its brand new Kids Club for Summer 2024.

Thanks to the generosity and sponsorship received from The Christopher Dailey Foundation and Stewarts, along with the generous support of many of the community organizations listed on the Kids Club activity calendar, the Saratoga Farmers’ Market can offer this program free of charge to the community.

Starting Wednesday, June 26th, and continuing weekly through August 28th, children can enroll in the program at the Wednesday Saratoga Farmers’ Market at High Rock Park. Each week, from 3 to 5 p.m. throughout the summer, there will be fun and educational activities to participate in. Children can earn up to $4 in coins weekly to be spent at the market. Produce vendors will offer items for $2 and $4 for children to spend their coins on, or they can save their coins for a larger produce purchase during the summer program.

In addition to activities, the market has partnered with The Better Bites Bunch to bring various educational and fun food-based characters and activities to the farmers’ market. These activities help encourage children to stay hydrated, stay active, and increase their awareness of the importance of enjoying fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.

The farmers’ market also hosts Dinner at the Market every week. Various vendors bring delicious ready-to-eat foods so families can eat together at the park picnic tables while enjoying live music following the Kids Club programs.

The Saratoga Farmer’s Market is open on Wednesdays from 3- 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at High Rock Park in downtown Saratoga Springs. The Monday Satellite Market at Clifton Park is open from 2-5 p.m. at the Shenendehowa Methodist Church on Route 146.
