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 2024, $14,000 was distributed to our neighbors in need via NYS SNAP benefits, NYS Fresh Connect and RFM Plus benefits. 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 beyond the NYS Fresh Connect supplement. Our 2024 market supported the local businesses of 36 farmers and producers. In turn, they have provided our customers with exceptional products and are caretakers of over 2500 acres of open land that enhances the beauty of our valley.
The year 2024 proved to be another successful season as our shopper count yielded a steady crop of 1700-2800 shoppers each week.
Donations in any amount will help to ensure a strong and successful farmers’ market.
