Times Union readers again voted TWFM the Capital Region’s Best Farmers Market as it prepared for its 25th outdoor season. In a Q&A, Market Manager Steve Ridler explained what sets Troy apart: its scale, keeping most vendors through the winter, its festival feel, and his advice for first-time shoppers.

“When farmers markets started, it used to be all about the farmer. What Troy tries to do is still make it all about the farmer but add a lot more value.”

— Steve Ridler, market manager, in the Times Union
