Schenectady Greenmarket is pleased to host a wide variety of local food growers, bakers, cheese makers, chefs and artisans. At the market you know exactly where your food came from because you buy directly from the producer. In the US, the average piece of food travels 1500 miles. Here at the market, your food will have traveled less than 100 and will be the freshest available.
