Black Hills Farmers Market Inc.

Black Hills Farmers Market runs year-round in Rapid City and frames itself around a mission and vision for connecting local food producers with shoppers in the community. The market has served Rapid City for more than 30 years, with more than 40 small businesses participating, giving it a broader small-business mix than a strictly seasonal produce stop. Its schedule stretches from summer Saturday and Wednesday markets into a winter Saturday market, so the market stays part of the city’s food routine beyond the peak harvest months. That year-round structure shapes what you’ll encounter here: local farm vendors alongside pantry goods, fiber work, woodcrafts, floral booths, jewelry, and service-oriented stands listed on the market roster.

What you'll find there

The vendor roster points to a market with a notably wide mix: farms and ranches share space with flower growers, books, fiber arts, wooden signs, knife sharpening, pet-focused goods, and personal-care makers. That breadth matters in winter especially, when the market notes that jams, jellies, syrups, and salsas remain available across seasons alongside the regular vendor lineup.

Know before you go

The biggest planning detail is the split schedule: Saturdays run year-round, but Wednesday market hours appear only from July into October. Winter timing also shifts later, with Saturday hours at 9 a.m. to noon from November through April instead of the longer 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday market used from May to October.

Dogs are welcome, which can matter if you’re building a weekend stop around errands or a walk. Restrooms are listed as unavailable, so this is not a small convenience to assume on arrival. The market is associated with Market Park on East Omaha Street in its own materials, while visitor details place it at 1520 West Omaha Street, making the exact arrival point worth noting before you head out.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted here year-round. The market also highlights community sponsorships that help fund Double Up Food Bucks and notes Market Dollars in its food-access programming, signaling that payment options are part of the market’s year-round access focus. Payment methods are listed clearly for visitors, which is useful at a market with both farm vendors and craft-oriented sellers.
