Join the Saratoga Farmers’ Market by Jodie Fitz
The Saratoga Farmers’ Market is actually the original farmers’ market in the Capital Region and surrounding areas. The organization, now a 501(c)3, began with a handful of farms coming together to form a market in order to bring fresh produce to the community in 1978.
Over the years it has evolved and grown, becoming not only a community icon, but a tourist destination within the city of Saratoga Springs. The market is also a community entrepreneurial leader, helping local growers and producers to bring their goods to market, further participating and contributing to the local economy.
The market now hosts its year-round, and primary, market on Saturdays at High Rock Park May through October, moving indoor for the cold weather months to Wilton Mall November through April. In addition, it hosts a Wednesday (mid-week) market in HighRock Park (May through October) and a satellite market in Clifton Park on Mondays (June through mid-October).
The market is currently accepting applications for vendors for the 2025 outdoor season and the application process closes at the end of January. If you are interested in becoming a vendor at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market. Visit managemymarket.com to apply.

If you have additional questions please email [email protected]. The market does provide live music; musicians can inquire about joining the market’s music program via email. In addition, the market does invite local non-profit organizations to table when space is available and those inquires can also be made through email as well.
