Breakfast is part of the overall holiday experience. In my home, we’ve enjoyed many delicious bites over the years as a family, but we often enjoy keeping it simple and making homemade egg sandwiches. With only a few weeks away, here are a few thoughts to consider as you make your next visit to the Saratoga Farmers’ Market and begin to think about your holiday breakfast plan!
Are you planning pancakes, waffles, or eggs? Consider fresh buttermilk and milk from Argyle Cheese Farmer and eggs from Grazin’ Acres Farm, Hepatica, or Jireh Organic Farm & Livestock. Of course, you will want to top them off with some delicious maple syrup from Slate Valley Farms. And consider flavoring them with perpetual vanilla from Muddy Trails Jerky Co.
If you are planning omelets or hash browns, don’t forget the veggies from Gomez Veggie Ville, Lovin’ Mama Farm, Owl Wood Farm, or Squash Villa Farm. And, of course, a little sprinkle of cheese from Argyle Cheese Farmer or Nettle Meadow. Kokinda Farm still has potatoes available as well.
Are you looking for savory sides like ham or sausage? Stop by to peek at all the goodies from Grazin’ Acres Farm, Hebron Valley Meats, Hepatica Farm, and Jireh Organic Farm & Livestock.
Or maybe you’d like a little fruit? Grab some homemade applesauce, dried slices, or fresh apples from Saratoga Apple.
Consider trying a breakfast charcuterie board as a creative alternative to a traditional breakfast. You can fill it with bagels, specialty breads, muffins, croissants, and other delicious baked goods from Katie Bakes Gluten-Free, Night Work Bread, Parchment Bakery, or The Bread Butler. And, of course, you need something to top them off, like jams from Kokinda Farm or honey from Ballston Lake Apiaries. You may even want some delicious maple Greek yogurt (or another flavor) from Argyle Cheese Farmer.
Don’t forget the sips! Check out the fresh ground coffee from Nally Coffee or fruit-infused probiotic beverages from Junbucha.
There are many fresh ideas at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market to help you plan your holiday breakfasts with delicious local ingredients.
