TO SARATOGA!

...and to Welcome Home, your (Award-Winning!) go-to-guide for Life in the Saratoga Region! When I’m describing this magazine to people, I tend to call it a phone book on steroids and everyone knows exactly which one I’m talking about, and they immediately say…

“Oh, I love that magazine!” Saratoga TODAY has been doing this guide since our first 2007 / 2008 spiral bound edition and it’s grown so much over the years - I’m still amazed at what this area offers!

VILLAGE OF VICTORY

VillageOfVictory.com

Zip Code : 12884 In 1684, Colonel Peter Schuyler, great uncle of General Schuyler, and six partners, obtained title to the Schuyler Patent, an area of over 168,000 acres that extended roughly 6 miles each side of the Hudson River. The Battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the Revolutionary War, was fought on the lands presently occupied by the Village of Victory and the Village of Schuylerville. In the years following the war, flour mills, linen mills, paper mills and sawmills were constructed as well as schools, churches, and businesses. The Saratoga Battle Monument occupies a prominent place in the northwest portion of the village. The Victory Mill, which began operating in 1846, made 1.8 million yards of cotton cloth per year. In 1850, it employed 160 men and 209 women. Several companies owned and operated the facility over the years and unfortunately ended up closing its doors in 2000. Soon the building will be redeveloped for residential housing. Saratoga Monument

economy. The only exceptions to the “only local” rule are fresh Long Islandcaught fish and olive oil from a local farmers’ property in Tuscany, Italy.

The market began in 1978 as a small group of farmers in a parking lot and has since grown to more than 80 vendors. The Saratoga Farmers’ Market has won numerous awards, including #1 Must Visit Farmers’ Market in New York State by I Love NY.

From May to October, the farmers’ market is outdoors at High Rock Park in downtown Saratoga Springs on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Shop outdoors and under the High Rock Pavilions on Wednesday from 3 to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You’ll find an incredible assortment of fruits, vegetables, herbs, locally made cheese, jams, sauces, crafts, baked goods, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products in addition to local plants for your garden.

Supporting local business is very important to the communities in Saratoga County, something that is especially true of the farmers’ market. All the vendors and their products must be produced locally (within 50 miles from Saratoga). This means that when you shop at the farmers’ market, you are buying unique products and supporting our community and our

From November to April, the farmers’ market moves indoors to the Wilton Mall food court. The market is open every Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There’s nothing better than fresh local veggies in the winter–here in Saratoga Springs, you can taste that freshness all year long! The winter market is famous for its variety. You’ll find naturally grown winter veggies

Vendors offer ready-made foods so you can enjoy a variety of meal options, and even grab-and-go snacks like sandwiches and croissants while you shop. There’s more to the Saratoga Springs Farmers’ Market experience than grocery shopping. This lively market is also a perfect place to meet friends, connect with your community and enjoy entertainment and family-friendly events. From chef demonstrations to live music, there’s always something fun happening at the market. Stop by and check it out! Current COVID guidelines still stand, so mask up, bring your shopping bags, and remember to social distance as we continue to ensure the safest (and freshest) shopping experience.

CAMP LITTLE NOTCH

AN AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION ACCREDITED CAMP

AN AUTHENTIC WILDERNESS SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE FOR GIRLS, SHAPED BY FUN AND FRIENDSHIP. Camp Little Notch (CLN), is a non-profit summer camp for girls, located just 17 miles from Lake George village and 70 miles from Albany. Our beautiful property is situated on 443 acres of pristine Adirondack wilderness that includes a breathtaking 80-acre private lake. From 1939 to 2008, Camp Little Notch was a Girl Scout camp, a beloved place to the countless girls and young women who experienced it. In 2009, when the camp was closed by the Girl Scouts, the Friends of Camp Little Notch organization was formed by an energetic group of former campers and staff who worked tirelessly to acquire Camp Little Notch and reopen it. Now, thanks to their efforts, CLN continues to be a place for girls to grow, make friends and have adventures. What makes Camp Little Notch special? • Experience Harmony with Nature. We create a camping experience that is rustic and unplugged. We believe camp is a place for girls to be screen free and make genuine, face-to-face connections, all while developing an appreciation for the natural world. • Since our inception, Camp Little Notch has been a place for girls. We develop an intentional community where girls feel safe and supported - a space where they can try new things, be their authentic selves, and make memories that will last a lifetime. We put a special focus on developing camper’s autonomy by having them play an active part in deciding what experiences they have at camp. Our small group sizes allow this to become a reality.

• At CLN, campers participate in a variety of activities like swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, kayaking, creekwalking, nature study, stand up paddleboarding, outdoor survival skills, and more! A huge part of the CLN mission is to provide wilderness experiences to our campers, because of this, all campers participate in a weekly overnight somewhere on the property where they practice primitive camping and cook their meals together over a campfire. • Inclusion is embedded into who we are - one of our three key values is Harmony with Each Other. Our program is open to all girls, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ability, or religious beliefs. Camp Little Notch offers traditional camp sessions from July 3-August 5, along with trips and a Counselor-in-Training program. Our off-camp trips include exciting adventures like backpacking, whitewater rafting, and conquering mountains! The Counselor-in-Training program is a leadership development program for girls ages 15-17 to learn about themselves and strengthen skills such as decision making, public speaking, and conflict resolution. This program is camp-focused but is perfect for ANY teen who aspires to be a future leader! Financial aid is available for those who might need partial or full fee assistance, and it’s simple to apply within the camp registration found on our website. Learn more about CLN, the different sessions, and register today at camplittlenotch.org/summercamp!

GREENFIELD

Summer Camp

Greenfield Summer Day Camp Simply Focuses on Kids Just Being Kids in the Great Outdoors In today’s over-structured world where kids spend a big part of their days looking at electronics, the one thing most grade school parents agree on is when school is out, they want their kids out… in the great outdoors. When summer comes, the pressure is on for parents to adequately entertain them without overscheduling or breaking the bank. The Town of Greenfield’s summer day camp is a perfect solution, with its morning-only format and a full array of traditional activities that promise to leave children exhausted and happy. Campers spend 8:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. at the charming Greenfield Elementary School, at 3180 Route 9N, that sits in a rural setting just a few miles from Saratoga Springs in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Activities include rotating stations of fun, featuring such things as obstacle courses, hiking, Taekwondo, arts and crafts, as well as many organized games and sports like soccer, flag football, kickball and more. Campers participate in themed days like “Super Hero” and “Hat” Day and painting, tiedying and rock climbing. They receive weekly visits from Uncharted Wild LLC to encounter live wild animals, regularly scheduled “Water Days” for splashing around and even the chance to pal around with some local llamas. Rainy day activities bring the children inside to

the school’s gymnasium and cafeteria. Fridays end each week on a sweet note with treats from ice cream trucks and Stewart’s Shops. “Our ever-changing schedule will send kids home exhausted and dirty from an action-packed morning at camp with friends,” said Town of Greenfield Recreation Director Rebecca Sewell. Students ages 5 to 14 are welcome and will be supervised with a 2:10 counselor/camper ratio. The camp features 25 trained camp counselors, most of whom once attended this camp themselves. Parents can choose early drop off for an additional cost and all students are eligible for the town’s Free Lunch Program, daily on-site and during camp. Signups open in March to Town of Greenfield residents, and in April open to the public. More information can be found by calling Rebecca Sewell at 518-428-2267 or visiting www.greenfieldny. org. Scholarships are available.

JUNE 27-JULY 29 Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. (early drop off available) LOCATION: Greenfield Elementary School 3180 Route 9N Greenfield Center, NY Contactless drop-off and pick-up.

The Town of Greenfield is home to 8,200 residents in Greenfield, Porter Corners and Middle Grove. It spans more than 41,000 acres of land bordering the Adirondacks. Other summer activities sponsored by the Town of Greenfield include golf and tennis camps and a PGA Junior golf league at the town’s Brookhaven Park and Golf Course in Porter Corners.

Classic D Taking humble delight in an original that bears the marks of age with dignity and grace.

WRITTEN BY MEGIN POTTER | PHOTOS BY RANDALL PERRY PHOTOGRAPHY

This story originally appeared in Simply Saratoga Fall 2021

Preservation, restoration, repurposing, and recycling are the core of Edmond DeRocker’s design philosophy. He’s spent more than four decades developing his skill for saving the area’s special design specimens. An extraordinary example sits amid the expanse of several thousand acres of land in Greenfield. “Architecturally speaking, it’s a gem,” he said.

DeRocker

Feel Good Rock

When Kevin Bright, the Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer and Director of the hit NBC sitcom “Friends,” and his wife, Claudia Wilsey Bright, introduced Ed to the turnof-the-century stone farmhouse they’d recently purchased,

it was tired and dated. It needed more than just some TLC, it needed DeRocker’s classic style – and they gave him the free rein to tap into it. “As with anything I do, it tells me what to do. It has to feel good and feel right,” he said.

Creating a Farm Cottage

As the project’s self-appointed general contractor and designer, Ed DeRocker had the one-and-a-half-story bungalow-style home completely gutted. Now, the 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath beauty is clean and unfussy. In addition, there’s a comfortable living area, sunporch, a full finished basement and wine cellar.

“It’s just a lovely space. It feels good,” said Ed.

The house feels like a combination of an updated farmhouse, and coastal cottage – appropriate since before working and residing in Upstate New York, DeRocker ran a successful design shop for nearly 20 years in Nantucket, MA.

A Contemporary Kitchen

Here, wood and other natural materials add warmth to what could otherwise be an austere modern setting.

“It’s a dream,” said Ed of the contemporary, state-of-the-art kitchen. Dressed in custom finishes and featuring vertical, lift-up cabinet doors, its streamlined look is highlighted by the illuminated coffered ceiling above.

The Contrast of the Old & the New

Just Look at That View!

A spectacular blue velvet sofa and midcentury style pounded-metal chairs frame the comfortable sitting area. Perched upon the home’s substantial original fireplace (which was constructed with field stone harvested from the property) is a smart TV that is also a mirror – inviting you to reflect on the contrast of the new and the old – all in one glance.

The final effect is one that is both lively and engaging without being overwhelming.

To maintain a historical and regional context, the home’s walls are constructed from horizontal wooden shiplap panels.

saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com

There are funky décor items, as well as the Bright’s art and memorabilia collection featured throughout.

In the office space upstairs, the large dormer provides a spectacular panoramic view of the backyard; with its kidney-shaped pool, historic barn, and the seemingly endless forests beyond.

Sacred Country

There is an enduring appeal to the area’s old barns. Ed DeRocker calls them “spiritual.”

“I just love barns and love the country. I was brought up on a farm and have fond memories of barns,” he said. His current home is in a restored barn that was originally built in 1740.

The beautiful age and patina of hand-hewn post-and-beam construction creates character that cannot be replicated, but the Bright’s property didn’t have one, so DeRocker had a barn brought in.

Moving History

He found the 30’ x 70’ circa 1850s English dairy barn in August 2018 in Halfmoon. It was three levels (one of which was underground) and had side structures attached. Working with Jim Sweet Jr. Contracting, the upper two levels were salvaged. The barn’s worn siding was stripped, revealing the historic skeleton, which was cleaned, preserved, and trucked to its new location.

Entertaining Mecca

Insulated from the outside and cladded with new exterior siding, the attention-getting exposed beams are all the decoration needed for this L-shaped barn.

“The architecture of the barn itself doesn’t need decorating because it’s so awesome,” said Ed. Bathed in light from its large windows, the radiant heated cement floor, cutting-edge HVAC and AV system, as well as the fully stocked cockpit bar have recreated this barn into a modern day mecca perfect for entertaining. “It’s the basic expression of how a building talked to me. The end result is a spacious and pleasant feng shui. I’m very, very pleased with the workmanship that went into creating it, and the relationship with everyone who was involved with the project,” he said.

Wonders for the “Remodelista” In addition to his design services, Ed DeRocker guides the area’s aesthetic through his retail shops. Previously, he owned McBride’s Interiors, located in one of Glens Falls’ oldest structures, a former blacksmith’s shop that was originally built in 1790.

Now, he owns Front Street Home in the center of Ballston Spa. The shop is filled with unique modern and vintage pieces in a variety of decorative styles including; rustic, casual, cozy country, and elegant formal.

“I’m constantly scouting out and adding pieces, so that brings clients back. It’s all about art and design. Design is everything.” Stop in to Front Street Home at 6 Front Street, Ballston Spa or find them online at www.frontsthome.com
