My husband and I spent a lovely couple of hours at the Farmers Market in Franklin, NY today. I wish…read moreI had paid attention to their names, but all the vendors were really friendly and happy to share where they were from and information about their business and wares. We sampled delicious breads, jams, and maple cream, oh yum! And, I got a cup of hot coffee for a dollar! Franklin is such a jewel, small and friendly, casual. We were in town visiting our son and his family; everyone seemed to know one another. Tables and chairs were set up on the lawn, people were hanging out, sharing food and conversation, while their kids played on the playground. We came home with pea greens, that were so very fresh, smoked trout that we ate with rice crackers, horseradish and capers. I'm looking forward to the right from the farm, fresh eggs and elderberry jelly for breakfast! This Farmers Market is definitely one to check out and we'll be back!

It sells not…read moreonly fresh, local vegetables, but also jewelry, pottery, eggs, cheese, soap, homemade ointments, and handmade breads! The food vendors are also awesome - one of them makes the best sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches. And this is coming from someone who's been to all the delis in NYC :) The market is open every Saturday during the summer from 9 to 1PM. It's an amazing place to hang out in, especially because it's full of amazing people. You will see a plethora of dogs, too, since a lot of dog owners like to walk their dogs in the morning!

Looking forward to this coming Spring, and all it offers, like most everyone else. Otsiningo Park…read moreFarmers Market offers not only lots of fine produce here. but also pies, cakes, breads and 'spoon-bread' type of edibles here, as well as plants, sometimes crafts. Varieties of nutritional staples like honeys and maple syrups are here in abundance. Examples of my sojourns here: Have met the 'Urban Gardeners' here - that you see on local TV - and learned how to make different but healthy things like Swiss Char Burgers from them, as well as buying organic Kale, a real green powerhouse. Learned how Maple Syrup candies are made. You can also enjoy a picnic in the park, jog, play frisbee or ball games - whatever floats your boat. For those who can't be here on Saturday, there is a smaller but worthwhile downtown version on Collier Street from 9-12, Fridays. Check buyfromthebackyard.com. Lawrence Weinzimer

We also saw flowers, art, hard cider and wine, popcorn, baked goods, chocolates, honey, wood, leather, clay, paper, jewelry, and fiber works. Also some ready-to-eat asian food. There was even a tour boat docked out back. The range of goods was amazing. The open air market was a nice weekend activity.

Everything I purchased, I wish they had here in the city because I want more of it. I love when a farmer's market has items you can only find there. So first I had a homemade ginger ale which was delicious. I also had a breakfast burrito which was really good. I also purchased a leather belt which is beautiful and well made with genuine leather. I purchased a hair pin which is quite beautiful and I look forward to wearing. This is a must see, it was with the one hour drive, we spent the whole day here. Also we were able to get parking right in the front, just be patient. They also have a cool system of rescuing the silverware which was great.

As frequent visitors, we want to unconditionally love Frog Pond Farms, because it's clearly a LOT…read moreof work to offer what they do and we respect that kind of hard work. When our daughters were toddlers, they could spend all day looking at the animals while we browsed through the enormous quantities of plants and produce. But we can't continue to ignore the "cons". The parking lot looks like it's been bombed, and - as other reviews have noted - it's not exactly the safest place when you consider lots of children running around. Visitors must be extra vigilant and patient when pulling in and finding a place to park. On busy days, the one long narrow strip of parking spots can be a challenge. The far end of the business where chicks, ducks, and bunnies are sold is incredibly fly infested. Fly paper rolls could go a long way in making it more tolerable. I'm not sure if the horrid conditions in some of the cages impacts the health of the birds, but I can tell you we purchased 5 silkie chicks a couple of weeks ago, and two of them died within days, and a third is showing signs of distress. This is not the first time we've had this experience with animals we've purchased there - sick animals, inaccurate sexing. We have stopped considering Frog Pond as our "go-to" place when we want to add to our flocks. The flies are also a problem in the fruits and vegetables. I was browsing the display of berries and grapes and completely rejected any notion of buying them with the quantity of flies that were landing on them. I don't know if there's a solution to that, being that it's - in effect - an outdoor farm stand. Look, there's a lot that's amazing and wonderful and unique about Frog Pond. The work they put in to stocking it, the amazing math wizard at the register who adds everything up in his head just like his dad did, etc. The place has gotten a LOT bigger since we first discovered it and that growth may be working against them. Other reviewers have stated much of the produce is trucked in from outside the area, and not grown locally. Not sure if that matters to most people, but the place does give the "vibe" that it's a local source farm stand that offers plentiful heaps of whatever's in season. The prices are quite a bit higher than what you'd pay for similar items in local grocery stores, but again - we understand the overhead must be pretty substantial for Frog Pond. If you have children - especially little ones - they'll see the place as Disney. When the magic wears off, though, and you start noticing how many greenbacks you're handing over when you go, you start to consciously reflect on whether it's worth the trip out there.

Yesterday was full of beautiful fall flowers, mostly mums, but several people has succulents which are great all year round. Homemade Bread, rolls, bagels, cookies, cakes,pies.... pretty much anything you could want. Homemade honey, pickles and kimchi. Farms selling lamb, beef and chicken. Homemade cheese and pasta and jams. The vegetables from local farms...some organic.

I spent an hour walking around the farm enjoying the views of the pond, the farm houses, and the animals. Before I left I stopped by the maple store that had all things maple (and some other non maple things too). It's a cash only honor system, where you log what you buy in the book. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area!
