RHINEBECK FARMERS' MARKET LTD

Longwave Financial is part of the market’s local footprint through the Jeff Scales Scholarship Fund for Community Advocacy and the Longwave Financial Sustainability Scholarship. That civic layer sits alongside a Sunday market with 36 vendors in Rhinebeck, bringing together farm products, prepared foods, drinks, flowers, fiber goods, and pantry staples in one stop. The market runs outdoors in the Rhinebeck Municipal Parking Lot, a village-hosted site that has anchored it from the beginning.

Why it matters locally

The Village of Rhinebeck has hosted this market from its inception in the municipal parking lot, tying the market directly to village life rather than a temporary pop-up setting. Its local role also shows up in scholarships and assistance programs: the John Honey Scholarship Fund honors founding member John Honey, while the Jeff Scales Scholarship Fund for Community Advocacy was launched with Longwave Financial.

Food access is another concrete part of the market’s work. The market accepts EBT/SNAP, Fresh Connect, and the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, and its RFM Plus program doubles the purchasing power of participants redeeming SNAP benefits at the market. In 2025, $9,000 was distributed through NYS SNAP and another $9,000 through NYS Fresh Connect.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans broad rather than narrow: orchard fruit, organic produce, meats, seafood, cheeses, breads, dumplings, spirits, flowers, mushrooms, and handmade goods all appear in the regular vendor roster. Several vendors are rooted in Hudson Valley ingredients or production, so the selection moves from raw farm staples to foods ready for the table without leaving the same market.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change your plan before heading over. The outdoor market operates in the Rhinebeck Municipal Parking Lot at 61 East Market Street, while the listed market address is 80 East Market Street, so navigating to the municipal lot is the clearest arrival strategy. Sundays run from 10am to 2pm during the May 3 to December 27 season. Restrooms are not available on site. Andrea Bartolomeo is the market manager.

Payments & SNAP

The market accepts EBT/SNAP, Fresh Connect, and the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program. SNAP shoppers can also use the RFM Plus program, which doubles the purchasing power of SNAP benefits redeemed at the market. SNAP acceptance is confirmed for the market, and payment methods are clearly identified for visitors planning purchases across the vendor mix.
