With friendly local vendors selling everything from fresh pasta, to grow-your-own mushroom kits, to local maple syrup, to artisanal woodcraft, there is something for everyone. The market always hosts fun live music, and more than once I have spotted an inter-generational dance party by the band. Both handicap and stroller accessible, there is surely something for everyone at the Rhinebeck Farmers Market. In terms of parking, I recommend checking if there are open spaces at the lot where the market takes place. People are always coming and going, so you might just get a spot!

I get plants here in the spring for my garden and I also love coming in the fall for pumpkins, gourds, and apple cider donuts. Everyone that works there is so friendly and will always answer questions. They have helped me over the years with my garden. If you need a party catered or even a cake, Freunds is the place! One of my favorite things is their raspberry white chocolate scones!! So good! I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area!!

I wasn't aware and I had not seen another person in front of me demonstrating that you do not take the cardboard container.

The farm store, where you pay on the honor system (places like this make me so happy), also has kimchi, eggs, frozen meat of various kinds, and a few baked goods on offer. Just be careful when exiting the lot. If you have a non-SUV, you're likely to bottom out. p.s. Friends just stayed at a separate apartment adjoining the main home on the property and it was quite charming. The creamery / dairy farm also hosts full blown farm stays, evidently. p.p.s. I scoped out their website after our friends stayed at the farm and had to share this page (https://calfandclovercreamery.com/cows) describing the beautiful calves with their beautiful mamas, who are responsible for this delicious milk. We caught a glimpse of them out back! Read about the Madre method for milk sharing, which Calf & Clover practices. Pretty darn neat.

They're located in the back parking lot of the Litchfield Center School, and if the parking lot is full there is street parking on the school side of the street. Consistent vendors include Berry Ledges Apiary, March Farms, Twin Pines Farm, and Wave Hill Breads, but there is a variety of vendors each week. Following them on Facebook or checking the website will provide a list of who is expected each week and what they're offering. It is dog friendly, although it is on asphalt so take care to give little paws a break.

We saw someone walking and eating one and that gave us the instant crave to absolutely want a pickle. For $2 you get a pickle of choice but they also give you samples if you ask for them of any of their pickle chips. I tried the firecracker and it was delish it was just a bit higher on the vinegary side and I was expecting it to have a tad more bit heat than acidity - but that's just a personal preference. Find Tony's Pickles at the Beacon Farmer's Market and follow them around at any of their other pop ups!
