Market ‘a chance for all of Guilderland to come together,’ says Scott Abraham

When Scott Abraham read about farmers committing suicide, he decided to do something about it.He read about families that had owned their farms for generations but couldn’t carry on. “It was just too tough … They can’t find help,” he says in this week’s Enterprise podcast.

He started a farmers’ market in Guilderland, near where he lived, and has a second market in Albany.

It’s a vital need for the community, Abraham says, to support local farmers while getting fresh produce and knowing where your food comes from.

He opened the original Guilderland market in 2018. Five years later, Abraham is starting a new venture: Meet Your Neighbors Open Market started this month and will run every Sunday in June from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as a “test run,” he said.
