The Saratoga Farmers’ Market began in 1978 with just a handful of farmers coming together in a parking lot in the City of Saratoga Springs, creating a place where Saratogians could access farm-fresh items. 

Since then, it has become a popular destination with a permanent home hosting over 80 vendors in the summer at High Rock Park and close to 50 during the winter months at the Wilton Mall. The market continues to grow and is committed to serving the community. 

As the market has expanded, its support for locally grown and produced goods from local farms and businesses has also grown. This past month, the market opened its doors to holiday-themed markets supporting others in our community, such as local crafters, artists, and authors. 

This week, some of our guests from the past few holiday markets will join our weekly vendors again for one more celebration for the holiday season. If you’ve missed any of our articles highlighting the holidays, peek at our website (saratogafarmersmarket.org/news/featurearticles) to discover how the market can be a part of your holiday experience:

As the market prepares for the New Year, it’s important to note that it will remain open at the Wilton Mall on Dec. 23 and 30 and continue at Wilton Mall every Saturday, Jan. 6, through the end of April, which includes fresh produce vendors.

The Saratoga Farmers’ Market sells gift certificates, which make wonderful last-minute gifts for friends, family, and neighbors. It’s a gift that continues to give because shopping at the market is an experience that supports local.

The market vendors look forward to celebrating the New Year with you. Join the market e-newsletter on our website. It will keep you up to date with all of the themed activities coming to the market throughout the year.
