Rhinebeck Farmers Market

Hosted by the Village of Rhinebeck since the market’s inception in the municipal parking lot, Rhinebeck Farmers Market brings a notably broad Sunday lineup to 61 East Market Street, from organic grains and tree fruit to sheep’s milk yogurt, fresh fish, and small-lot spirits. The 2026 season runs from May 3 through December 27, with 36 vendors listed for the market and a regular schedule of community booths and seasonal events. That mix gives this Rhinebeck stop a distinctly full-market feel: produce, pantry staples, prepared foods, flowers, fiber, and local drink makers all share the same lot.

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 a central village space rather than a temporary pop-up setup. Its stated goal is to enliven the Town and Village of Rhinebeck economically and socially, and the vendor roster reflects that local emphasis through Hudson Valley produce, dairy, grains, baked goods, and prepared foods.

The market also layers in community programming beyond shopping. Its special-events schedule includes visits from Rhinebeck Rotary, Rhinebeck Interact Club, Climate Smart Rhinebeck, the Southlands Foundation, and the Dutchess County Office of the Aging for Farmers Market Nutrition Program check disbursement. On the support side, the market notes that in 2025 it distributed $9,000 to neighbors in need through NYS SNAP benefits and $9,000 through NYS Fresh Connect.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix runs unusually wide for a single weekly market, with strong representation in produce, orchard fruit, cheese, meat, bread, seafood, flowers, pantry goods, fiber, and craft. You can shop core staples here, then add specialty items that are much more specific to this lineup.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest policy detail to factor in before heading over. The market is set in the Rhinebeck Municipal Parking Lot at 61 East Market Street, so parking and the market location are the same destination rather than separate stops. Restrooms are not available on site.

If you are navigating the special-events layout, the schedule notes that some visitors and booths appear in the usual Mead Orchards space, including Rhinebeck PTSO Discount Cards and Rhinebeck Rotary on opening day. The 2026 season opens May 3, with weekly Sunday shopping through December 27.

Payments & SNAP

Rhinebeck Farmers Market accepts EBT/SNAP, Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and Fresh Connect.

The market also notes that $9,000 was distributed through NYS SNAP and $9,000 through NYS Fresh Connect in 2025.
