    Definitely punches above its weight. Wide array of stands. Excellent prices. A great selection of items, from Balkan food to Indian food to honey. I'd love to go back.

    Vendors in small theater area

    Fabulous! I happened to be a bit early for a Proctors show and meandered around the indoor market for a while. So many wonderful vendors selling produce, soaps, clothing, baked goods, spirits and more. There was live music at one end...making the scene lively and loud. I'd like to get back sometime when the weather is better to see what it's like outdoors.

    I love winter farmers markets. They are a much needed resource in a place where it's winter most of the year. This one resides in Proctor's Theater in downtown Schenectady. And it's on Sundays. There is free parking in at least one if not two of the lots adjacent to the theater. The market is divided into two floors. On street level are most of the locally made products: Pesto, peanut butter, cheese, yogurt, wine, blends of tea, pickles, bread, pastry, garlic dip, cupcakes, granola, etc. Go down the stairs and you'll find the produce and meat along with an activity for kids and prepared foods from Thunder Mountain Curry, Ambition Cafe and others. There is live music on both floors. And since it's inside, there aren't any bees to spoil the fun. I hate bees.

    Not dog friendly.

    Not Dog Friendly. First one I've encountered this way. I get while its indoor but outside seems perfect for pups. I also don't get the chips... Seems easier for vendors to get swipe devices like Square or Paypal. Now to the vendors they are great! Brewery vendor, cheese, veggies, and others are a-plus! So the issue and the two stars comes from the first two comments. Heck, I'd give more in a heart beat should they go pup friendly! The market is smaller than Troy but nice. Much nicer while outside. During the winter it retreats into the Proctors area and it gets a tad bit cramped for me. Here I get why no dogs. Outside the market features live music (mayhaps inside too). Lots of room to move about in the street while the vendors are by the sidewalks. I'd go much more but having gotten a beautiful lil pup I venture more to pup friendly destinations. Wolfs Beer Garden is pup friendly but the Farmers Market is not... Sadly perhaps some horrible dog related incident occurred to do this however I would blame all dogs just the owners of that dog. Thanks for the read.

    Our haul from the farmers market this week.

    Great variety of baked goods, cheeses and ready to eat food. This is in mid-February! I'm so excited for it to move outside in the spring.

    This Farmers Market is a hidden gem! All of the vendors are super friendly, the produce is great,…read morethe pastries from Made by Linda are the best I've ever had! The coolest thing about this market is the location though, It's in a covered but open air building so you get the breeze and the outside air without getting a sunburn or getting rained on if the weather is bad. The parking is also in a lot right next to the market so you don't have to worry about street parking blocks away like you would at the Troy Market.

    Wow! This is a great farmer's market. I'm not sure if the produce is quite as good as the Troy…read moreplace, but I like the real salt-of-the earth atmosphere here. During the week, it's wholesale only, but on Saturdays they open it up for retail to the public. This doesn't seem to be the place for the academic-type farmers, if you know what I mean. You know, the Michael Pollan reading ones who can recite an entire thesis on the definitions of organic. I love those people too, but most of the farmers here are of a different variety. The ones I saw today are the farmers who have been doing it forever, and who haven't bothered to scrub the soil out of their finger nails before coming to hawk their wares. When I went today, there weren't a whole lot of fruits and veggies, but there were a ton of plants. The plants alone were definitely worth the trip. I restrained myself and only purchased a nice rosemary plant. A great farm near my mother's house - Stanton's - also had a gorgeous array of strawberries. There's nothing like a good early June strawberry. They're smaller than those hulking California ones but the taste is a thousand times better. At 5.75 for a quart, it might seem a bit pricey but I think the quality makes it worth the price. There are also several little craft stands, along with vendors selling nut butters, jams and the like. Oh, and they take credit cards. I can't wait to come back when it's full-on summer.

    These days, I'm making a habit of going to Forts Ferry Farms' pop up markets…read more I was introduced to a new-to-me herb, cilantro-like, from Peru. It is even more punchy than cilantro. I don't remember the name of it. Use sparingly. Heirloom tomatoes - I bought a flat of them so I made gazpacho and a fresh tomato sauce (using Marcella Hazan's recipe). I also ate some raw - still warm with a little salt. Tomatoes define the taste of summer. Peaches - this is the first year FFF is offering their own peaches. I don't know what kind of peach it is. It is smaller, the flesh more delicate with a more pronounced flavor. The memoir, Epitaph for a Peach, by David Mas Matsumoto, came to mind when I tasted it. This peach wasn't grown to be hearty and built to withstand the rigors of transport, it was grown to be flavorful; to be eaten and savored. I'm so glad FFF is here to remind us how produce should taste. I'd almost forgotten.

    I knew nothing about this place when my wife suggested for a surprise lunch on a Saturday…read moreafternoon, and we had to rush over as they have limited hours. It was cold and raining outside and I was happy to get out of it and relax. Sadly, I quickly found out her surprise involved eating outside under a tent in the cold and rain on a November day. Sigh. At least they had blankets on the benches. We ordered in the far tent and the menu board was both helpful (it listed everything in each entree, including onions) and annoying (it indicated no substitutions were allowed, including onions). Not to be deterred, I picked the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, basil and Calabrian chili peppers. My wife ordered the Margherita pizza. Both were ready in about 15 minutes, but upon delivery to our table it became clear that a couple of things were off. First, my wife's pizza was cold and mine was pipping hot. Second, mine had so much basil- which in places was left in 2-3 leaf bunches- that perhaps they just cleaned out the pantry for the last order of the day. The crust in spots were burned, but I could live with that. However, it was so floppy that it couldn't be picked up under any condition. Everything but the outer inch of crust was like a thin wet tortilla. And their plastic cutlery wasn't up to the challenge, ripping the pizza toppings off and turning my pizza into a casserole. That being said, the flavors were wonderful on my pizza. The hot honey made for a really tasty flavor balance, and the copious amounts of curling pepperoni were a nice change of pace from the cheap stuff. The peppers were good too, and I wish I could source some locally. My wife's pizza was okay, though the whole mozzarella clumps reminded of dollops of Ricotta and they were very cold as if they were added after baking. Odd. I don't mind paying for expensive pizza if it is good. I am also not a pizza snob and will gladly eat subpar pizza. But, to overpay ($26 for mine alone) for pizza that is just a mess in a cardboard box rubs me the wrong way. The same goes for buying ($24) a cold pizza. The dessert we ordered was a Paris-Brest, and being a choux fan I absolutely loved it. Delicious with hints of coffee, almonds, nuts, and some flavorings I couldn't place, I would quickly come back here just for that. As for their pizza, I just don't know. On a nice pleasant day it would be fun, but too many mistakes on our pizzas makes me leery of ordering them again for those prices.
