This Saturday, the Saratoga Farmers’ Market is your one-stop destination for celebrating Passover and Easter with fresh, local food, holiday meal ingredients, and Easter basket favorites.
For Easter baskets and holiday sweets, Sweet Treats by Jennifer brings candy-coated chocolate eggs, toffee, and snickerdoodles. Saratoga Apple will have fresh apples and apple chips; Ballston Lake Apiaries has honey sticks and ‘baby’ honey bears. Katie Bakes GF offers decorated cookies and cupcakes, Perogi Pierogi Pyroogie has pastel meringue cookies, and Holly & Vine carries needle-felting kits for craft-loving kids.
For holiday meals, locally raised meats abound: pork roasts and ham steaks from Jireh Farm, lamb shoulder roasts from Thymeless Homestead and Holly & Vine, whole chickens and cuts from Hepatica Farm, beef roasts and steaks from Longlesson Farm, and breakfast sausage, bacon, and ham from Grazin’ Acres Farm.
The Mushroom Shop, Lovin’ Mama Farm, and Gomez Veggie Ville will offer seasonal produce including mushrooms, potatoes, leeks, onions, carrots, and lettuce.
Dessert options will include Scandinavian pastries, breads, and cookies from Parchment, including carrot cake, sticky lemon cake, and strawberry pistachio cake. Argyle Cheese Farmer will also offer cheesecake made with their yogurt. Goodway Gourmet has various rum cakes—try a sample this Saturday.
Fresh, multi-colored eggs from Lovin’ Mama Farm, Kokinda Farm, Jireh Farm, and Hepatica Farm are perfect for Easter brunch, baking, and egg dyeing.
Seasonal décor will also be available throughout the market. Ballston Lake Apiaries and Holly & Vine will have pure beeswax candles, and Lovin’ Mama Farm and Halfmoon Harvest will offer elegant dried-flower bouquets.
The market will also feature live music from TuneFolk, a free no-mess egg-dyeing activity, and the Saratoga Springs Public Library’s mobile library with books and a bunny craft for kids.
