Riverfront Farmers Market

The Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers’ Market was established in 1998 by Warrensburgh Beautification Inc. (WBI), a non-profit organization and committee of the Town. The market was created to serve many purposes: provide a source of locally grown produce for residents and visitors; develop an entrepreneurial opportunity for small farmers; disseminate horticultural information; promote local interest in growing flowers and vegetables; and raise funds to further the revitalization of the Schroon River waterfront.

A “producer only” market, sales include locally grown, raised and prepared products including produce, plants, cut flowers, dairy, poultry, meats, maple syrup, honey, wine, preserves, baked goods and refreshments. All prepared foods are made “from scratch”, utilizing locally grown ingredients whenever possible.

Local civic groups and non-profit organizations who wish to promote their purpose and upcoming events are encouraged. The Warren County Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Station provides soil testing and horticultural information, healthy eating recipe handouts are available, and other local food outlets and events are promoted. Our vendors offer product samplings and live music adds to the festive atmosphere.

Initially, the market was met with strong opposition from our local government. Now, a weekly focal event in our town patronized by visitors and both seasonal and full time residents, the market is held Friday afternoons from 3-6 p.m. from Memorial Day Weekend thru the end of October, on the banks of the scenic Schroon River in the Warrensburgh Mills Historic District on State Route 418.
