Syracuse, N.Y. — A smoothie and juice bar that was one of the original vendors at downtown Syracuse’s Salt City Market will close in November, setting up another opening for a new food stall operator.
Farm Girl Juicery will be the third of the market’s ten original vendors to leave its space when it closes Nov. 12. In this case, owner Abigail Henson is closing the stall to have a baby.
The Salt City market, operated by the nonprofit Allyn Family Foundation’s Syracuse Urban Partnership, opened at 484 S. Salina St. in January 2021.
The Farm Girl location is what the market calls a “micro” stall, with 100 square feet of space. It does not have an exhaust hood, so it can’t accommodate cooking methods that require one. It can be used for baking, salad- and sandwich-making, smoothies etc.

Miss Prissy’s, and original market stall operated by Dreamer Glen, is planning a move to a standalone location on South Warren Street.
The market offered eight potential vendors for the Miss Prissy’s space the chance to audition this summer, serving their menus for a week at a time.
Those vendors were Birria Quesa Tacos SYR (Mexican birria tacos); Stone Soup (soups, salads, and sandwiches); Taste of Haiti (Haitian food); Unique Flavas (soul food); Sinbun (sweet and savory buns); iEatLaoFood (Laotian food); ElleRae’s Tacos (Cali-Mex street food); and Ma’s Wings & Things (chicken wings & fried bites).
The market is conducting final interviews with the applicants and expects to identify the winner next month. The transition to the new vendor…
