Adirondack Fragrance Farm Sells at NYC Holiday Fair

Live Poll

Would you buy gifts from a small business at a holiday market this season?

Adirondack Fragrance Farm, based in Parishville, New York, is selling candles, soap bars and perfume sets at the Grand Central Holiday Fair in New York City. The company is also adding a space at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market starting December 1.

Why it matters

The holiday season is the company's busiest time of year, and its expansion into two New York City markets reflects a push to reach more buyers in the city. Products are also being shipped across the country during the same period.

Adirondack Fragrance Farm set a sales goal of $300,000 for its New York City stay, and it brought thousands of candles, soap bars and perfume sets in a full van for the 35-vendor Grand Central show. Whether the company reaches that target has not been reported.

The details

Seasonal Patterns

The company's move from a single booth last year to added space at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market this year follows the pattern of small-batch makers using holiday fairs in Manhattan to grow beyond their home region. Its participation in both the Grand Central and Columbus Circle markets places it in the same seasonal fair circuit as other regional vendors.

Shoppers in New York City can buy the company's candles, soap bars and perfume sets in person at the Grand Central Holiday Fair through Christmas Eve, and at Columbus Circle starting December 1. The products are also shipped to buyers across the country during the holiday season.

The takeaway

Holiday fairs give small regional makers a direct way to reach city buyers, and shoppers can find these products in person at the Grand Central and Columbus Circle markets this season.
