Heidi Legenbauer’s weekly food column was mostly about bierrocks, the stuffed German pocket sandwiches, ahead of Oktoberfest, plus a reader’s question about stuffed grape leaves. It closed with a plug for the Troy Waterfront Farmers’ Market, which manager Amy Halloran said would stay open through most of November that year, and a rundown of the season’s new vendors: Big Dipper Bakery, David Rossuck’s As the Worm Turns, Berle Farms of Hoosick, Jean Krueger’s All Blues and Seth Jacobs’ Slack Hollow Farms of Argyle.
If you’ve never been to the Troy Waterfront Farmers’ Market, what’s keeping you?
There’s still plenty of time to get there because it’s held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays from May through November 24, rain or shine. The decision to keep the market going through most of November was made with the intention of helping people “put some wonderful foods (grown or baked by local people) on their Thanksgiving table,” says Amy Halloran, market manager.
