Getting there:
The Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers’ Market is an outdoor market on River Street (County Route 418) in Warrensburg, New York. From the South, enter the town of Warrensburg on State Route 9 by crossing the bridge over the Schroon River. At the second traffic light (by the Warrensburg Health Center building) turn left onto Richards Avenue. Cross the bridge (yes, it is the same river you just crossed — the Schroon twists through town) and turn right. The market is one-half mile on your right, across from Curtis Lumber.
