Hobart Farmers Market Launches 2026 Season with New Day, Time, and Location

HOBART — Commencing Memorial Day weekend, The Hobart Farmers Market returns for the 2026 season with exciting changes designed to better serve the community while preserving everything people love about the market. This year, the market will be held Saturdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and hosted at the Book Village Inn, ushering in a fresh schedule, a welcoming new setting, and the same commitment to local food, farmers, and neighbors.

The shift to Saturday afternoons makes the market more accessible to residents, weekend visitors, and second‑home owners alike. The later time allows shoppers to enjoy a relaxed afternoon and early evening atmosphere—ideal for picking up weekly groceries, enjoying prepared food, or meeting friends and neighbors after a busy day.

The market’s 2026 season home at the Book Village Inn places it in the heart of Hobart’s most recognizable destination. Known for its small‑town charm and cultural appeal, the Book Village already draws visitors throughout the summer, and the farmers market adds another reason to spend time in town. The Book Village Inn setting offers improved space for vendors and shoppers, encourages lingering, and strengthens the connection between local agriculture and Hobart’s broader creative and cultural life.

What hasn’t changed is the market’s dedication to showcasing favorite local farmers and producers. Shoppers can once again expect a wide range of fresh, locally grown produce along with meats, eggs, baked goods, cheeses, honey, preserves, and other farm‑made specialties. The market continues to prioritize producers from the region, giving shoppers the opportunity to buy directly from the people who grow and make their food.

The Saturday 3–6 p.m. timing offers a natural option for dinner plans at the Book Village Inn or for visitors to enjoy a coffee or beer in the garden.

Beyond shopping and eating, the Hobart Farmers Market remains a place to connect. For years, it has served as a weekly gathering spot where conversations unfold and visitors catch up with neighbors they may not see elsewhere. That sense of community continues to be central to the market’s mission in 2026.

Farmers markets like Hobart’s play an important role in rural life, supporting small farms, strengthening the local economy, and fostering relationships that make communities more resilient and vibrant. By iterating with a fresh venue while staying rooted in its values, the Hobart Farmers Market continues to offer something both practical and meaningful.

The Hobart Farmers Market invites everyone—longtime supporters and first‑time visitors alike—to come experience the new season.

The Hobart Farmers Market is held Saturdays from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Book Village Inn, 760 Main Street, Hobart, NY 13788. For more information, visit http://www.hobartfarmersmarket.com.
