A business feature on an unusually long growing season leaned on the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market for its local angle. Market manager Monica Kurzejeski told the Times Union that warm weather and a late first frost let shoppers buy beans, berries and tomatoes much later into the season, and that hydroponic growing meant “you’re able to make a salad year-round in Troy.” The jump page (C8) noted that the market’s winter season “gets under way in Troy on Saturday at Troy Atrium on Third Street and Broadway,” with other area farmers markets also moving indoors for the winter. The story quotes the market’s manager as a source rather than being about the market itself.
“Because of hydroponics, you’re able to make a salad year-round in Troy.”
