Local Food Fest in Potsdam

The Potsdam Food Co-op will be celebrating 45 years in the North Country with its first Local Food Fest on Saturday, September 8th from 11am to 2pm. JOIN US rain or shine under the big tents for a day of food, music, and fun! This festive event is open to everyone! It is an opportunity to sample many local foods and learn more about the Co-op. This event is replacing its annual open house as a way to showcase many of the foods and products the North Country has to offer. Everyone who shops in the store on the day of the Local Food Fest will receive a 10% discount on their purchases! That is an additional 10% off for Co-op member-owners! In addition to samples from the Co-op’s own Carriage House Bakery and Deli there will be offerings from Co-op vendors: Canton Apples cider and juice, Village Veggies fresh produce, Cedar Hedge Farm goat cheese, Aqua ViTea kombucha, Guayaki yerba mate, Farmer Street Pantry salad dressing and apple sauce, and more! This is an event for all ages and there will be fun children’s activities! Music will be provided throughout the day by local musicians. The Potsdam Food Co-op is located at 24 Elm Street. It is open daily from 8am to 7pm. It is a member-owned cooperative grocery store (although membership is not required) where everyone is welcome to shop and anyone is welcome to join. It is committed to the community and local sustainability. Its emphasis is on providing natural and organic foods with the practice of buying from local and regional growers and producers. A large selection of specialty foods such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan foods are also available.
