The 2016 relaunch of Ellenville Farmers' Market has achieved further significant successes that will help to provide a useful basis for the 2017 season's operations.
The NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets now lists Ellenville Farmers' Market as a Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Authorized Market:

As with establishing Ellenville Farmers' Market itself in 2016, several months' persistence and determination in petitioning for the support of Ulster County Tourism has now succeeded.
Ulster County Tourism's backing of Ellenville Farmers' Market now includes this letter of support.
With gratitude to Rick, Fran and team at the Kingston Heritage Visitors Center.

Ellenville Farmers' Market 2012-2015
The
idea of staging a farmers’ market in Ellenville is not new, but only
now is a twenty-week market season being prepared by a manager with
full-time dedication.
A
group of horticulturalists combined part-time to set up a small
farmers’ market here in 2001. However, the initiative struggled over a
five-year period to retain vendors in viable number, and preparations
for the 2006 market season were abandoned.
A
second management team re-launched market trading in 2008, achieving a
faithful local support. The facebook group at that time summarized the
market:
“Open
rain or shine, the Ellenville Farmers' Market is a small, family
friendly market in the heart of Ellenville, featuring fresh locally
grown produce and regional products from Hudson Valley growers.”
Division
among that team regarding operational strategy contributed to the
market’s deterioration during the 2012 season. The management team fell
apart and Ellenville Farmers’ Market closed for the three years,
2013-15.

Spout Creek Batch 35 cheese | Local Farm Cheese @ Ellenville
Aroma Thyme Bistro is proud to offer local Spout Creek Batch 35 cheese. Aroma Thyme has this cheese available on our cheese plate and on our very popular Batch 35 and Pesto Burger. It is also available for purchase at the Ellenville Farmers Market every Sunday from Aroma Thyme.
Sprout Creek Farm is a center for education, farming, community building and spiritual growth. It is a place of work, of peace, intellectual inquiry and experiential learning. It is home to a community of people, plants and animals; farmland, forest, streams and ponds, of wetlands and hedgegrows, hills and rocky soils. They are a productive farm where we make cheese from the milk produced by our cows and goats.
Their cheeses are made from the nutritious and creamy (antibiotic and hormone free) milk of our small herds of cows and goats that roam the pastures eating what they're supposed to eat – grass. Cheeses aged over 60 days are made with raw milk – bigger flavor and very nutritious. Those tender and fresh cheeses aged less than 60 days are made with pasteurized milk. The operative word here is GRASS, however.Milk from animals that eat what they were designed to eat is nutrient rich, low in cholesterol, high in Omega 3s, and still retains proteins, minerals and vitamins necessary for good health. From the much loved pastured animals to the cheeses lovingly crafted and aged, you are sure to "Taste the Difference a Little Grass Makes".
Semi-soft and washed-rind cheeses batch 35. This savory smear-ripened raw cows' milk cheese with a full scattering of eyes has an aromatic soft yellow paste, and a crisp coppery rind. Aged 2-4 months.
