It may have seemed more like end-of-season weather than season-opening weather, but the Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market opened for its 18th season May 2. Vendors offer food, fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, coffee, seedlings for gardens, jams and jellies, desserts and more.

Market Master Pat Coluzzi said the market never has more than 38 vendors at one time, but there’s a rotating list of vendors that’s in the mid-40s.

The Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market, located in Grove Park, is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesdays, through October. For more information, go to rbfarmersmarket.com or the market’s Facebook page for weekly updates.
