| - Held every Saturday from the middle of June until October... and special winter events on occasion... this is a bustling market with a wide variety of food, plants, and crafts.
1 star deduction for parking... the police have started blocking off sections of the diagonal parking in front of town hall and positioning an officer to be sure no one uses the spots... not very visitor friendly... since town hall isn't open?
New This Year
Brunty Farms - chicken and eggs... they also have a booth at Howe Meadow Farmer's Market... and offer a discount of eggs if you bring the box back and re-use it.
Trigo's Market Bakery - nice selection of round and rectangle loafs... with a rotating foccacia selection. They also have a stuffed foccacia (forgot the name of the style) and we tried the pear, walnut, blue cheese... outstanding!
Beefallo - haven't tried them yet, but they offer ground, patties, steaks and other cuts of American Buffalo's that have been bread with cows? The booth has been packed so I haven't heard the pitch yet.
Repeat Winners
The Pierogi Lady - Serves some hot to eat there... the rest frozen... you can even order off of her Facebook page and pick them up at the market... so far this year we've loved the crab rangoon and the french onion... and this week picked up some chicken pot pie and yam with walnuts to try.
Bluebird Meadow Farms - bratwurst, breakfast sausage, ribs, roasts and later in the season even duck
Hattie's Cafe - great selection of jams and salsa
Edgesmith - next week I'll start my yearly cycle of sending my chef's knives in for a pro sharpening... they do a great job with pruners too.
2 Amish farms come as well as 4 or 5 local offerings of specialty lettuce, herb and garlic growers.
We don't go for the candle seller or the popcorn person... but at least once a season we buy from the honey people and the maple syrup lady.
Lots to choose from... and everyone is really friendly... worth the drive to check out some of the local breakfast or lunch places... and a can't miss when the Taste of Hudson is happening!
