In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern shares her recommendations for a few farmers markets throughout the region. Selected highlights are Ulster County's Saugerties Farmers Market, located in the heart of the village; Greene County's Coxsackie Farmers Market, featuring local favorites, See & Be Kitchen and Lime Kiln Farm (both recently featured here); Columbia County's Hudson Farmers Market, now in its 24th year; Rensselaer County's Troy Waterfront Farmers Market, which includes the community composting initiative led by the volunteer group, Troy Zero Waste; and Saratoga County's Saratoga Farmers Market, which began in a small parking lot in 1978. And WGXC's Diana Abadie talks to local residents about Hughes Energy's proposal to construct an organic waste high-speed composting facility in Grand Gorge in Delaware County, right on the border with Greene County. A conversation with Sakura and Ian of Roxbury NY, about Hughes Energy’s proposed municipal solid waste processing facility. The site chosen for the seven-story building would be just feet away from the Schoharie reservoir, and bring an estimated 565 tons of solid waste via truck to the location daily. A recent public information session held by the project's principles drew more than 150 regional residents. Also, Corrine Carey from WOOC previews this November’s elections in Rensselaer County.
