Local food doesn’t disappear in January, and neither does the sense of community that the Saratoga Farmers’ Market is known for!

The winter market plays a vital role in keeping local food systems strong, supporting our farmers year-round, and creating welcoming spaces for connection, even in the coldest months.

January is full of variety and shoppers can find:

• Storage crops like potatoes, onions, squash, carrots, beets, and apples

• Greens and micro-greens grown indoors or in hoop houses

• Eggs, meats, poultry, cheeses, and dairy products

• Fresh bread, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, jams, and pantry staples

• Ready to eat foods 

• Local brewers (both coffee and spirits) 

Beyond food, the market continues to be a community hub offering;

• A variety of talented and creative makers and artists that are an integral part of the Saratoga Farmers’ Market every season

• A warm, welcoming place to gather 

• Live music, wellness activities, and kids’ programming

• Opportunities to meet our local farmers, makers and brewers

SNAP Benefits

The Saratoga Farmers’ Market plays an important role in food access that supports healthy eating habits year-round and they participate in the SNAP/EBT program throughout the winter along with the Fresh Connect coupon program.  These programs allow the market to

• Help families stay connected to their local food system

• Keep nutritious food accessible during colder months

• Strengthen local economies by directing dollars back to farmers

Local food still exists in January. Community still thrives. And the Saratoga Farmers’ Market continues to be a place where nourishment matters.

So, bundle up, bring a friend, and make the winter market part of your routine. The season may be colder, but the impact is just as meaningful.
