Celebrate Our 20th Season with Us!


We are thrilled to share this short film commemorating our upcoming 20th season of the outdoor market, and also our 5 consecutive years being named Best Farmers’ Market in the Hudson Valley.

We asked you, our customers, what you think makes the Rhinebeck Farmers Market so special, and this film highlights your enthusiastic responses.





This film highlights not only the great variety of food available at the Rhinebeck Farmers Market, but also the social connections and sense of community that the market creates. 

We think this video speaks to what's great about our community and we hope you will join our celebration by sharing it with your friends. You just may see some of them in the film!

The outdoor market starts on May 12th, Mother's Day in the Municipal Parking Lot at 61 E Market St, Rhinebeck. We will be giving away Free Seedlings for all Mothers who visit the market compliments of The River Garden, our vendor and flower grower from Catskill, NY

First-of-the-Season Greens are Here!

The Rhinebeck Farmers' Market gets mentioned as a
"Hudson Valley Essential" 
in this month's issue of Bon Appetit
That's very exciting.

Also, very exciting...are you ready for fresh greens?



Migliorelli will have their first-of-the-season Broccoli Rabe this Sunday.


...and Arugula too!


This will be our last indoor market of the season. 
So, it will be your last chance to shop with a few of our market vendors. 
So, stop by Little Seed Gardens while you still can.


Last chance to stock up on  
Oliverea Schoolhouse Maple. They'll be gone until Dec too. 


This is Healthway Farms last market with us until next winter as well. 


We now have Rhinebeck Farmers' Market Money
which can be used just like a gift certificate 
to shop at any of our vendors booths in the market. 
They are available in $5 denominations. 
Think of them for teachers gifts, graduations, birthdays & even Mother's Day. 
Available at the market info booth.

Outdoor market starts on May 12th, Mother's Day
with Free Seedlings for Mom.
So bring your Mom by the market and we'll give her a treat.
Thank you to The River Garden for donating the seedlings.
