Third Annual Spring Festival At The Saratoga Farmers’ Market – Saturday, March 31
OK, so we haven’t entirely shaken the winter blues yet. Temps are still dipping into parka territory, and we’re only just starting to crack the 50s on a regular basis. But that shouldn’t keep you from heading over to the annual Spring Festival at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market on Saturday, March 31, from 9am to 1pm, at 65 Broadway in Saratoga Springs.
Among the activities offered at this year’s Spring Fest are a beekeeping workshop with Rick Green, owner of Ballston Lake Apiaries, who’ll be talking about nature’s favorite honey producers and what goes into beekeeping (he has hives available for interested parties); “Making the Most of Your CSA with Denison Farm CSA” with Justine Denison of Denison Farm, which will include a presentation and free cooking demonstration (with samples, of course) from Anouk Booneman, co-founder of Spring Into Health; and a talk on an in-depth look at succulents via Suzanne Balet of Balet Flowers and Design.
Of course, since everything’s going down at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market, there’ll be the usual slate of top area food vendors offering their delicious wares; live music; and a number of special guests. Hey, spring might not have actually sprung just yet in Saratoga—but we can push the envelope, at least.
