Delmar Farmers Market

Delmar Farmers Market presents itself through its mission and history as much as through its vendor roster, which gives the market a distinctly organized, purpose-driven feel rather than a simple weekly pop-up. For the 2026 season, it opens May 2 and runs on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm at Bethlehem Middle School, bringing a sizable lineup of about 50 vendors together in one stop. The mix ranges from farm stands and fish to empanadas, waffles, pottery, native plants, and local service tables, so a Saturday visit here can cover groceries, pantry staples, prepared food, and a few non-food errands in the same trip.

Why it matters locally

The market’s own rules state that Delmar Farmers Market is a producer-only market, and they describe that standard as a foundation of its mission. That matters in practical terms: the vendor lineup is built around identifiable farms and makers such as Bulich’s Creekside Farm, Sprouting Heart Farm, Cotton Hill Creamery, Helderbee Honey, and High View Maple Products rather than anonymous resale tables.

Its local role also extends beyond sales. The market highlights a board of directors, a market manager, community partnerships, and regular activities tied to nearby institutions, including Bethlehem Public Library story times and participation from Cornell Cooperative Extension and Friends of Five Rivers. That structure makes the market feel intentionally woven into Delmar’s weekly routine rather than operating as a stand-alone vendor event.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix is broad, but it stays anchored in farms and food first. Expect a market where produce growers, dairies, meat and seafood sellers, bakers, prepared-food stands, plant growers, beverage makers, and craft vendors all share the same Saturday footprint.

Know before you go

For 2026, the market is at Bethlehem Middle School rather than its usual setup, so head to that site when planning your Saturday stop. The market runs from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays beginning May 2, with the outdoor season continuing through October. If you are arriving with a pet, note that dogs are not allowed.

This is a sizable market, with a claimed 50 vendors and a mix that stretches from farm food to craft tables and community organizations, so it works well for a full errand run instead of a single quick purchase. One visitor also noted easy parking and suggested bringing your own bags.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Delmar Farmers Market, an important detail for shoppers planning to use food benefits on market day. The market also lists clear payment information among its visit details, which suggests payments are handled with enough consistency to plan a regular grocery stop here.
