Epicurious says the Rhinebeck Farmers' Market is one of their favorites!

Right up there with San Francisco & Chicago.

Here's what they said:

"Like many of you, we love shopping at our local farmers' market for fresh produce and other locally-produced goods like preserves, honey, cheese, meats, and even seafood. And even when we travel away from home, it's hard for us to stay away from local farmers' markets. I'm still enamored by the bounty I've seen and tasted at San Francisco's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, Chicago's Lincoln Park Farmers Market, and the Rhinebeck Farmers' Market.
