The rolling hillsides of Washington County are an incredible provider of everything from wine grapes and wheat to farm-raised beef. As a largely agricultural community with incredibly rich soil, Washington County’s farmers grow a wide variety of crops and produce. Naturally, much of it can be found at our local farmers’ markets.
With everything from spa products made with beeswax or goat’s milk to a multitude of organically fed meat options, our small-town community markets have something for everyone. Many locations offer live music from talented local musicians, food samples, and delicious fresh produce grown right here in New York’s premier agricultural region.
Plus, shopping at a farmers’ market is a great way to invest in the local community and support the farmers who work so hard all year long! Need your produce on the go? Download our complete guide to local farm stands.
SEASONAL / SUMMER FARMERS MARKETS
Canal Street Marketplace
Thursdays, 4 to 7 PM at 63 Canal Street in Fort Edward. From early June to September.
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!
This beautifully restored marketplace building was actually moved to Fort Edward just after 1900. At that time, it was located in nearby Fort Ann, directly obstructing the path of the 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 continues to live on as a community gathering space. Each week in the warmer months, this venue hosts vendors, live music organized by Little Theater on the Farm, and children’s programs presented by the Fort Edward Free Library.
Plus, each year in mid-October, Canal Street Marketplace hosts Locktoberfest, a family-friendly harvest festival with artisans, farmers, live music, food trucks, local beer, and free children’s activities!
