Tony George, half of the Mei’s Homemade Dumplings team, took some time to capture our market in photos. Enjoy!
Thanks to local artist Jane Weaver, we now have a charming new family of barnyard animals at the entrance to our barn. But the cow, pig, mama sheep and her 2 lambs need names! (the dog is photo bombing…. he doesn’t need a new name).
Submit your suggestions for names at the Manager’s table, or in writing to copakehillsdalefarmersmarket@gmail.com.
Winners will get bragging rights, and also a special surprise!

Every season, we think to ourselves, “How can we ever improve on this amazing lineup of farmers and vendors? This can’t be topped.” But we did!
First, we are so proud to say that ALL of our regular vendors from last season are joining us again. That speaks volumes. It means that they have your support and loyalty, and also that they feel the market is doing a good job for them.
We are excited to welcome THREE new vendors this year:

The growing season may not be here yet, but the planning is in full effect. Farmers are ordering seeds and laying out their crop plans, food producers are testing new recipes and lining up suppliers, and we at Copake Hillsdale Farmers Market are busy getting our own ducks in a row, too.
Our 2019 season will run from Memorial Day to Halloween, or May 25 to October 26. The monthly Artisan Crafter & Specialty Food days remain on the last Saturday of each month, beginning with June.
The application packages for regular vendors as well as artisan crafters and specialty food are ready now for submission. The forms are all available for downloading HERE.
