Plattsburgh's
Winter Farmers Market

Thursdays, 3 to 6 p.m.

except Tuesday Thanksgiving Week

October 13 - December 22, 2011

in the City Recreation Center
on the Old Base Oval

Walk in and shop or pre-order online beginning in November for your convenience. Pick up a light, ready to eat or heat supper. Stop on your way home from work, or form a buying club and have one person pick up the group's order.

You are welcome to come and browse as in a traditional farmers market, but ordering ahead offers both customers and vendors many benefits:

• You have two days to decide what you want since the online listing will be open for orders from late Saturday night through Tuesday morning. 

• You are assured what you want is not sold out before you get to the market. 

• The online order system makes it easy for one person in a household to make the shopping decisions and place the order, while another person can quickly pick up the order.

• It also facilitates groups of individuals placing their individual orders with one person picking up for the group. 

• It lets you know exactly what is available so you can plan ahead.

• You still get to choose who you buy from, as in a regular farmers market.

• Ordering ahead helps the producers know how much of what to harvest or make and bring to the market.

We only offer things grown or made by the vendor, so you can find out just how your food was produced and what is in it.
