The Watershed Agricultural Council is featuring a different Catskills farmers' market every week during the 2013 growing season. This week's market is the Rosendale Farmers' Market.
Now open for its seventh season, the Rosendale Farmers’ Market thrives on its motto: Buy Fresh, Eat Well, Feed Community.
Every Sunday, rain or shine, the market does just that, from 9 a .m. to 2 p.m. through October 27. Located in Rosendale Community Center parking lot, 1055 Route 32, the market features conventional and organic products, free coffee/tea, and live music. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the children’s area offers hands-on activities teach kids about healthy foods, farming and the environment. To serve all community members well with nutritious, affordable food, the Rosendale Farmers’ Market proudly accepts SNAP EBT payments.
