Happy Father’s Day!
This Sunday is not only market day, it’s Father’s Day! So grab your Dad (or another special father in your life) and bring him down to Schenectady Greenmarket! Treat Dad to a delicious breakfast from one of our prepared food vendors, a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing lemonade, and maybe even some refreshing wine or beer! And don’t forget to let Dad stop and sit to enjoy some fantastic music at the market – he’s earned a break! There’s no better way to spend Father’s Day – or any Sunday – than at Schenectady Greenmarket!
PLUS – cherries and peaches are starting to arrive this week! YUM!
