Since 1905 the City of Rochester Public Market has been a source of healthy, affordable food and a rich cultural experience--the RPM is a dazzling diversity of products and people! Open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays 52 weeks a year.
For over a century the Market has connected the city, its countryside, and the region's farmers; and has been a source of freshness and value, character and community. Since 1905 the Market has made substantial contributions to the region's economy, ecology, and equity. Supermarkets and corner stores are important conveniences of modern life, but the Public Market offers special connection to growers, merchants, and fellow customers; the Market is also truly a rich, unique cultural experience. The terrific bargains here stem from the fact that by shopping at the Market, you can buy directly from producers and bypass costs associated with packaging, transportation, and a multitude of middlemen. Come to the Market and experience our dazzling diversity of products and people!    
 
Note that those with food stamp benefits can use those benefits at the Market to buy healthy, affordable food.
