The Upper Union Street Schenectady Farmers’ Market will open on Saturday, May 5 in the public parking lot off of Woodland Avenue in Schenectady.

The market’s hours are Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from May until October.

“The Upper Union Street Farmers’ Market continues to thrive within a scale appropriate to our district,” said Chris DiCocco, President of the Upper Union Street BID.  “It’s a great fit, reflecting the independent, personal nature of our business roster.”

In the early season, bedding plants, mesclun mix, garlic, herbs, baked goods, jams, cheeses, hanging baskets, perennials, free range chicken, ducks and other meats, and herbal balms and remedies are available.

For safety reasons, people who attend the market are asked to access the parking lot from the Dean Street entrance during the Saturday morning market hours.

Friends of Niskayuna Rowing is celebrating its 25th year of fostering scholatic rowing for Niskayuna's middle and high school students. 

The organization is holding its major fundraiser, an Annual Garage Sale, on Saturday March 17 at Niskayuna High School.  The sale opens at 8AM in the Old Cafe and runs until 2PM.  All are invited to browse the treasures, to make a purchase (or two) and to discuss the many benefits of rowing.  

Tax deductible donations of goods for sale are also appreciated.  All donations and sale proceeds go directly towards our scholastic rowing programs.  Please help support our student rowers and keep Niskayuna boats on the Mohawk River for another 25 years.
