Farmers Markets & Farm Stands Around the County

The rolling hillsides of Washington County are an incredible provider of everything from wine grapes to grass for cattle to graze on. While much about our region has changed, a commitment to agriculture remains, and you can’t see it any clearer than at our farmers markets!

As a largely agricultural community with incredibly rich soil, Washington County farmers grow a wide variety of crops and produce. Naturally, much of it can be found at our local farmers markets!

A mainstay of our close-knit communities, residents and visitors alike come from both near & far to pick up farm-fresh groceries from their local farmers market. With everything from spa products made out of beeswax or goat’s milk to a multitude of organically-fed meat options, these small-town community markets hold something for everyone.

Canal Street Marketplace:

Thursdays 4 to 7 PM at 63 Canal Street in Fort Edward

This farmers market is more than just a place to shop for fresh produce and artisan products. The Canal Street Marketplace has an incredible history tied to its namesake: the canal system!

The newly restored marketplace building was actually moved to Fort Edward just after 1900. At that time, it was located in nearby Fort Ann, right in the way of an under-construction Champlain Barge Canal. The “barn” was removed and reconstructed in Fort Edward at the former Canal Wharf. There, it was used as a woodshop for the canal’s boats, buoys, and other equipment for the canal and locks until 1978.

Today, the building has been fully restored and acts as a community gathering place each week, with vendors, live music organized by Little Theater on the Farm & children’s programs presented by the Fort Edward Free Library.
