The Many Reasons to Support the Rhinebeck Farmers’ Market!
Frequently proclaimed “The Best Farmers’ Market in the Hudson Valley,” the Market and its vendors provide a diverse and excellent selection of farm-fresh products, showcasing the very best of the Hudson Valley.
The market relies solely upon vendor fees, business and community sponsors, volunteers, and merchandise sales for its operating funds. These funds support not only the operation of the market, but also children’s activities, educational events, chef demonstrations, musical performances, and our food security programs. In 2022, $10,000 was distributed to our neighbors in need. Launched in 2017, the RFM Plus program doubles the purchasing power of participants redeeming their SNAP benefits (formerly known as food stamps) at the market. For every dollar of SNAP, the participant receives another dollar of RFM Plus. In May of 2022, the Market launched a food rescue gleaning program in partnership with Wally Farms at the West Taghkanic Diner. Over 3,500 tons of food made its way into homes and institutions throughout the Hudson Valley. Their mutual aid kitchen created 3,000 nutritious meals and assisted in getting fresh, healthy produce to our neighbors in need.
The year 2022 proved to be another successful season as our shopper count yielded a steady crop of 1700-2500 shoppers each week.
Donations in any amount will help to ensure a strong and successful farmers’ market.
