Thank You for Supporting Your St. Lawrence County Farmers Markets!

“Each new season grows from the leftovers from the past. That is the essence of change, and change is the basic law.” — Hal Borland

And so, the season for farmers markets has once again passed! The markets across St. Lawrence County have wrapped up for the year, following a very successful market season. A great big THANK YOU to all of the market managers, vendors, and volunteers who make our County’s markets vibrant, plentiful and such wonderful places to shop for our local food and local treasures. Of course, thank you to each one of you who supported the markets… by shopping there! It really makes all the difference for producers, who rely on local shoppers to make their time at market meaningful.

Of course, not to worry, there are still many options for those of us who would like to continue to shop local through the colder months. Check out GardenShare’s online Local Food Guide for local food sources available all year round!

This time of year always brings me back to that, as we prepare to gather with our families—whether in person or virtually—and give thanks for our loved ones, our health, and the good food we can share together.

With that, it is my hope that we, as New Yorkers, also take a moment to celebrate the vibrant agricultural community in our state and recognize the hard work and contributions of our farmers and farmworkers, and for our strong agribusiness community that together works to bring delicious, high-quality foods and beverages to the tables of New Yorkers in every corner of the state. This year has continued to be a challenging one, yet we have come so far, and we still have […]
