I guess this review is more for Capital Roots and the Veggie Mobile as a whole, not just the Troy…read moreGrow Center (which is awesome), but being able to have weekly access to farm fresh veggies that are half the price of going to the local grocery store has been a godsend for my wife and I. Now learning that there's a weekly sprout truck down the street at the local church every week means it's even easier for my wife to get fresh stuff for the week while watching our little one at home. I missed our first pick up because I ran home to help my wife with our newborn and didn't realize until later that night I forgot to grab them. I got a call the next day saying they had my order in the fridge waiting for me. If people haven't heard about Capital Roots and the Grow Center, they are missing out.

My farmers are my friends, and I am not at all some invisible number amidst their fairly full & growing CSA. As members, we don't just receive weekly shares in a place where we know the farmers and know where & how our (safe, healthy, organic) food is grown, but we have access to -- my favorite -- the picking garden. Each week of the entire growing season, we are invited and encouraged to walk through the picking garden, making a flower bouquet to take home, and cutting the herbs we'd need in the coming week. You know how people join places like Berkshire Botanical Gardens? Walking through the picking garden, gathering peace in the sunshine is that. And it's a kind of home, a kind of deep connection to where our food comes from and to the people who work on the land to cooperate with the earth and, in much sweat, bring the goodness to us. I have multiple health problems - stressful chronic health needs that are deeply met by fresh organic food. I can't eat processed food at all. I know I need vegetables constantly. I want to support my local farmers. A CSA makes sense. And these farmers support ME in healthy community -- you've gotta hear about the potlucks! Learning about bread-making from a local author was February and I'm still super-excited! -- and healthy community, by every health and longevity study, is THE factor to be rich in. You'll be exposed to poetry too.

They will be adding on a grow room shortly. There wasa small cooler with mushrooms in it, we selected the blue and white ouyster mushrooms. The selection is minimal at the moment but can't wait to see more. I hope the idea of music there or art can happen in the near future, after Covid is more under control.

Of course, by early November the outdoor market has moved indoors and we have little idea what the waterfront outdoor market looks like, but I've gotta say I'm impressed. I'm impressed with the organisation of the so many vendors in different corners of the two-floor space, and the variety and quality of the goodies available. Pretty much all cooked foods were upstairs with tables and chairs dotted amongst vendors, and the offerings ranged from West African and Caribbean American to dumplings, crepes, and empanadas. There was a "makers" room with clothing, jewlery, pottery, and other knickknacks, and produce, Belgian sugar waffles, and dried flower arrangements lined the middle section of the ground level. Probably the biggest room was in the back corner across from the 'booze' section, and this is where we see the dairy, dips, honey, peanut butter, gourds, pickles, and lots of baked goods, some of which we couldn't resist. We ended up with a small haul from Golden Blend Bakehouse, Our Daily Bread, and The Placid Baker. I'm be sure to follow up on how the baked goods go but the farmers market was impressive and I'm glad this has become a real landmark in the Capital Region. Parking is available among the street (mostly metred) and near the waterfront. We'll be back.

The farm has PYO raspberries, sunflowers, zinnias and pumpkins. There was also produce at a good price, cider donuts and local honey from the farm. Later in the season they have hayrides to a pumpkin patch and haunted hayrides. They also had a bunch of farm animals fenced in to see including pigs, ponies, a goat, a duck and a rooster. We were also greeted by the farm dogs when we arrived. All the staff was friendly and helpful. There was no entrance fee and all the items were priced very reasonably. I hope to go back later in the season to get our carving pumpkins.
