Hudson Valley Farmers Markets to Visit This Fall
Summer’s over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find your fix of farm-fresh goods at your community farmer’s market. The Hudson Valley is rife with farm markets that offer more than just late-season produce, pickled veggies, or jams and sauces (although they’ve got plenty of each); they’re also great places to find locally produced herbs, wines, soaps, bread, coffee and more. The following Mid-Hudson-based markets offer farm-fresh goods, handcrafted items, and entertainment into the cooler months.
