Mother’s Day Market at Hunter Way Farm Brings Spring Shopping to the Adirondacks

In the rolling farmland of the Champlain Valley, the 4th Annual Mother’s Day Market returns to Hunter Way Farm for a lively, open-air celebration of local makers, food, and family-friendly fun.

Taking place in Moriah, NY, this Adirondack outdoor market blends shopping, seasonal flavors, and hands-on activities—just in time for Mother’s Day weekend.

Set against a backdrop of fresh spring greenery and mountain air, it’s the kind of event that feels equal parts community gathering and curated shopping experience.

A spring market in the Adirondacks worth planning around.

On Saturday, May 9, from 10 am – 3 pm, Hunter Way Farm transforms into a bustling marketplace filled with regional vendors and Adirondack charm. Guests can wander between tents and tables featuring handmade goods, fresh flowers, crafts, and baked treats—all thoughtfully crafted and distinctly local.

Bouquet of tulips in pink, peach, yellow and magenta. — Fresh spring flowers are some of the items you’ll find at the market.

There’s a certain rhythm to it: the scent of warm cookies drifting through the air, the hum of conversation between vendors and shoppers, and the satisfying discovery of something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it.

The standout addition this year is the free kids craft station, a thoughtful touch that elevates the experience beyond shopping. Children can paint their own 4-inch flowerpots—complete with soil and seeds—creating a personal, handmade gift for Mom.

It’s equal parts activity and keepsake, and a clever way to keep younger attendees engaged while adults browse.

Supplies are limited, so early arrival has its perks.

Spring markets are nothing new—but in the Adirondacks, they carry a distinct sense of seasonality. After a long winter, events like this mark a shift. Farms reopen. Makers return outdoors. Communities reconnect.

Hunter Way Farm’s Mother’s Day Market taps into that moment.

It’s not just about shopping—it’s about stepping into spring, supporting local businesses, and finding gifts with a story behind them. For travelers exploring nearby Lake Champlain, it’s an easy and worthwhile detour.

Who should attend.

This event appeals to a wide mix of visitors:

Travelers looking for authentic Adirondack experiences
Locals in search of unique, locally made gifts
Families wanting a relaxed, outdoor outing
Anyone who prefers thoughtful shopping over big-box browsing

In short: if Mother’s Day calls for something a little more personal this year, this is where to find it.

ADK Taste recommendation.

Arrive early to beat the midday crowd and secure a spot at the kids’ craft station before supplies run out. Bring cash for smaller vendors, and plan to stay for lunch—sampling the food offerings is part of the experience.
