SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y., June 4, 2026 – The Saratoga Farm Showcase is a unique opportunity to get to know local farms and farmers in Saratoga County. Returning June 20 for its third year, the event is hosted by Saratoga PLAN (Preserving Land and Nature), a local nonprofit conservation organization whose mission is to steward and protect the farms, forests, and waters of the Saratoga region and the southern Adirondack foothills – now and forever.
This year’s showcase will feature participating farms located throughout Wilton, Moreau, Northumberland and neighboring communities. The self-guided tour offers fun for all ages, featuring tastings, farm tours, animal interactions, educational demonstrations, hands-on activities and opportunities to purchase fresh, local products directly from farmers.
“The Saratoga Farm Showcase is a great way for folks to experience firsthand the local farms that help sustain our communities and produce many of the foods and products we enjoy every day,” said Saratoga PLAN Executive Director Jamie Brown. “We’re incredibly grateful to participating farmers for welcoming visitors during one of the busiest times of the year.”
Upon arrival, attendees will receive a canvas “bounty” tote bag, event bracelet, printed guide and map to help plan their day. Participants can create their own itinerary, spending as much time as they wish at each stop.
Just a few of the participating farms this year include:
Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting second careers for retired racehorses in leading safe and meaningful lives. Visitors can tour the property and meet the organization’s therapy horses.
Woodland Meadow Farm will also welcome guests to explore its alpaca breeding operation, home to approximately 50 alpacas as well as pigs, chickens, peafowl and rabbits. Attendees are encouraged to explore, meet the animals and stop by the farm store, where alpaca yarn, socks and other items are available for purchase. Attendees receive a 5% discount on all goods.
Greenfields Forever Farm, one of Greenfield’s earliest homesteads dating back to 1792, will offer visitors the opportunity to learn about its history and current operation as an organic fruit and vegetable farm. Guests can tour the property, meet owner Tabor “Farmer T” Ellsworth and purchase specialty products made on-site.
“We’re looking forward to having community members learn about our farm and processing business,” said owner Tabor Ellsworth. “We’re excited to share the benefits of supporting local businesses and choosing organic, minimally processed foods.”
The event serves as both a celebration of local agriculture and a fundraiser for Saratoga PLAN, an organization that has protected more than 14,000 acres across the Saratoga region, including more than 30 farms.
This year’s showcase will conclude with an after-party at Dancing Grain Farm Brewery. Nestled on 300 acres in Moreau, the brewery offers a true field-to-glass experience featuring New York-grown ingredients, including malted barley grown on-site and fruit sourced from nearby orchards.
The after-party is free and open to the public (not just Farm Showcase ticket holders). Attendees can enjoy live music by Rusticator, food for purchase from Big D’s BBQ food truck, free samples from Taste NY and meet the people behind inspirational organizations giving back to our community including Comfort Food Community, Grassland Bird Trust and Saratoga PLAN.
Tickets are $10 for adults and free for children under 12. Proceeds support Saratoga PLAN’s efforts to conserve farmland, natural areas and community connections throughout the region.
