News from the folks at the Schenectady Greenmarket:

Schenectady Greenmarket January 17
Inside Proctors, Sunday 10-2
—
New hoop houses, storage facilities and planting fields with the market in mind have all helped ensure that our winter market has plenty of fruits and vegetables. However, you will see some changes over the next couple of weeks. Barber’s, Buhrmaster, Painted Goat, and Wellington’s are taking a few weeks off while Cornell, Full Quiver, Madura, Migliorelli, and Underwood/Shushan have expanded their offerings of fruit and produce.

Our biggest baker, Our Daily Bread, will be on vacation for two weeks but Abbey Farm, Josephine’s and Naga Bakehouse have been busy baking to provide you with bread and other baked goods. The Placid Baker, who you may remember from our Outdoor Market, will be making a guest appearance on January 24. Please take time to stop at a new booth. We think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Remember for the month of January we are sponsoring an EBT promotion. No fewer than 16 of our vendors will have special pricing for those who use their EBT cards at the market. Ask at the market table for a list of participating vendors and their offers–eggs, honey, vegetables, tarts, bread, spreads and more.
