It's been a while since I took my readers along on a visit to our year round indoor farmers market in the Binghamton, New York area. It's held every Saturday (except the Saturday closest to New Year's Eve) and we are so fortunate to have it.
Let's see what's for sale.
This is a relatively new vendor. They have taken over a building occupied years ago on Main Street in Endicott, New York. They grow herbs and lettuce under lights. There was a different company doing much the same thing a couple of years ago in that building, so I don't know if it's just a name change or different ownership.Local organic meat.
Beets and parsnips. I believe this vendor (who also sells the lettuce below) grows under low or high tunnels. He also grows mushrooms.
All are so fresh. A bit expensive but it's worth it, and we are fortunate to be able to afford it.
Also available were eggs, honey, breads, and other baked goods.
Not bad for a winter February.
...Rochester's market is outside and last week we bought some apple. Man was it COLD and windy.
ReplyDeleteSunday farmer's market is what I do enjoy for photography and my soul. I love the things I see and the fresh morning vibe from the people
ReplyDeleteWe only have summer markets here. Interesting to see the prices:)
ReplyDeleteOur market closes in mid-November, the neighboring city has a Winter Market only in December. But, mine opens again on March 2! You mention beets, parsnips, and mushrooms. Three things I don't like! I don't grow winter crops, because I like so few of them.

I love farmers markets and we have a few but they are all on Saturday mornings and I have other things I want to do. Locally grown, organic produce is best.
ReplyDeleteEggs? They had eggs? Expensive? Eggs have been tricky as of late.
