Rigor Hill Market is a newly opened, neighborhood cafe and marketplace.  Our mission is to highlight produce from the Hudson Valley.  Our farm is located in Ghent, NY.  We showcase fresh seasonal produce, cooked and prepared foods, and baked goods.  We serve coffee and other beverage.  

We are partnered with the restaurant One White Street and our farm, Rigor Hill Farm.  

The market has a micro bakery with its own full production.  A kitchen to support all prepared foods.  We are looking to fill out our team of friendly and caring individuals who will help us establish our presence in the Tribeca community. If you love working with fantastic products and are enthusiastic about hospitality, we would love to talk to you about joining our team!
