Our mission

The mission of the Cold Spring Farmers’ Market is to support local, regional and sustainable farms by providing an outlet for direct sales of agricultural products. Our vendors are either farmers, farm employees, or food artisans selling value-added products with ingredients sourced from regional farms.

To that end, the board’s responsibility is to insure that the market is commercially viable. Our farmers depend on the revenues they earn each week.
