Happy Labor Day!
This weekend we recognize the contributions of American workers! As you walk around Schenectady Greenmarket this Sunday, you’ll notice the fruits of our vendors’ labor – literally! Bountiful produce, fresh baked goods, handmade crafts, prepared foods…all made possible by our farmers and vendors working hard to bring you the best that our area has to offer. Stop by and pick up everything you need for your Labor Day weekend celebrations – and don’t forget to thank your farmer!
What’s Fresh This Week
The Peanut Principle: Peanut ginger dressing; and a new fruit berry peanut butter with acai berry, pomegranate, cherries, strawberries, raspberry, blueberries, and goji berries.
Palatine Valley Dairy will have plenty of our black olive and roasted red pepper cheddar this week. This is the cheese that won the gold medal in the New York State Cheese Competition last week!
Mariaville Farm: Fresh pasture raised chicken and duck; Black Angus beef; Heritage pork; lamb; goat; fresh eggs, too. Reserve your Thanksgiving Turkey now!
