The Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market opened for its 16th season May 4. There are roughly 35 vendors this year offering food, fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, coffee, seedlings for gardens, jams and jellies, desserts and more.

The market opened to perfect weather, but Market Master Pat Coluzzi said someone had sprayed liquid electrical tape on three outlets on the Grove Street side of the park, forcing the rearrangement of some vendors. She said it was done in an attempt to sabotage the market.

“Some people just don’t want us here,” said Coluzzi, shaking her head.

The Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market, located in Grove Park, is open from 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.

There are a wide variety of offerings at the market, including these wooden cutting boards and serving trays from Tall Oak Trading Company.
Multiple vendors had seasonal vegetables for sale, including Fifer Orchards with its asparagus.
Remarle Natural Skin Care owner Renee Marie LeMasney founded her company in 2012.
Georgetown’s Stag Run Farm is known for its purple asparagus, but these radishes look pretty good too.
Parker Livingston and his wife Beth Riegel will go down as the first customers of the 2021 season.
It’s true and not just because DelMarVa Popcorn’s Mark Pena says it. Seven days without kettle korn does make one weak.
Old World Breads owner Keith Irwin points out the different selections offered.
Herbs, Spice, Everything Nice had a variety of seedlings ready to plant, including this limelight sedum.
Market board member Linda Ager serves as the gatekeeper, which basically means she smiles under her mask and asks if people would like a squirt of hand sanitizer.
The pink flowers on these chive plants grown by Totem Farms look good enough to eat.
Someone had sprayed liquid electrical tape onto a bunch of outlets at Grove Park, which meant a handful of vendors that needed power had to be relocated.
