Reviews for: Harrisonburg Farmers Market

Access to seedlings to transplant into my garden that are in better condition than those from the big box stores and locally grown organic produce.

While the market boasts a large variety of fresh, organic produce, meats and other great products, it is the community of people there who truly make it great!

Love the local and organic produce... supporting local farmers and crafters is the way to go!

Excellent, healthy produce, chickens, eggs, cheese, butter and more! A chance to support our local economy and not add to environmental pollution through trucking. Wonderful folks gathered in a musical, lively and loving environment. And of course the food is delicious! Gus the Bus was a terrific addition today. Parents and kids loved it.

I love the interaction with the local farmers/producers. Getting to talk with them & also getting ideas on trying some new vegetable & how to fix it is great! You just don't get that from a grocery store, and I want to make sure that by supporting the local farmers we keep this area somewhat rural and we don't grow to look like a metropolitan area!

Fine quality local produce, consistency of vendors, variety of wonderful seasonal offerings.

Wonderful fruits and vegetable grown locally and has some of the best fresh baked breads around!!!

I can contribute to the future of our planet by buying healthful , organic and natural foods grown and harvested by folk who care.

Great to eat locally grown food. It just tastes better. Has not been frozen to hold until time to sell. Helps out the local economy.

Nice variety of quality product and I enjoy seeing the same vendors on a weekly basis.

Lots of great local farmers and vendors - fresh veggies, soup, cheese, bread, herbs - what's not to love!

It is the sense of community which draws me, as well as the produce. It is a place to enjoy friends midst a sensual, extravaganza of sounds, sights, color. What a delight - a happy place to be. And the stall venders are warm, smiling and friendly, adding to the sense of being in a happy, healthy community of folk.

I love the wonderful fresh produce and the community spirit of the place. It is definitely the place to be on a Saturday morning!

Local grown fresh food! Great crafts, great people and very kid-friendly! Feels like a great warm inviting community experience!

Our market has been around for quite some time. It's a great place to hear local musicians, visit with old friends and get the freshest produce from happy people in an area rich with farmland. We have organic, Mennonite and Latino farmers that sell their produce, plus local crafts people and bakers. They just recently completed a pavillion after years holding the market in the nearby parking garage.

At it's beautiful new pavilion in downtown Harrisonburg HFM brings a wonderful array of local vendors together with the Harrisonburg/Rockingham County community for the social and local food events of the week

Everything is fresh,there is a wide variety of items to choose from. The vendors are friendly and helpful. I have recently started to shop at Harrisonburg Farmer's Market,since I am no longer able to grow my own vegetables.It is wonderful to buy fruits and vegetables and to know they are fresh.I have even bought fresh flowers there. This week I am going to try the homebaked breads.

I love that it's all locally grown or made. I cannot even begin to describe how much better the food is than the stuff you can buy in the stores. I love that it's open Tuesdays as well as Saturdays so it's always possible to get fresh fruits, veggies and more. My boys love going to smell the different things and they will try different food because they know where we got it and who we got it from.

The variety is wonderful and all the fresh vegetables/produce and meats are local grown.

Why do I love my farmer's market? The produce is fresh, local, mostly organically grown, of many varieties, delicious. I can find most of our food needs there: eggs, cheese, bread, meat, fruit, veggies, herbs, sweets. And non-food items such as locally made soap, cards, and gifts; and nearly-food items like seedlings for my own garden! The atmosphere is lively and happy under our new pavilion (which my stone-mason husband helped build). When I want a large quantity of tomatoes or onions for salsa-making, I call one or more vendors to see who has boxes of seconds waiting for the right customer. I love knowing the people who grow our food, both at market and around town. My young daughters feel safe at market, and are developing their own relationships with favorite vendors. We are very pleased to be able to support our friends and neighbors in their business ventures at the Harrisonburg Farmer's Market!!

I love the fresh local veggies, the assortment of plants and flowers, and the wonderful baked goods from the Mennonite bakers. Yum!

It has the most variety I have seen anywhere. Produce is extremely fresh and I love the eco-friendly vendors diplaying not only fruits and vegetables but soaps, eggs, flowers and candles.

Great selection and I love supporting my neighbors and community with my purchases.

I'm impressed with the variety and quality of the produce. It's also a good place to buy plants, flowers and gift items.

Their new roof makes them more attractive and we always see friends and acquaintances. It has a great atmosphere!

The community atmosphere! I just know that I will bump into a friends, neighbors, or family and have a nice chat while buying some of the best food money can buy. I love to take my son who enjoys seeing friends and having a super snack. Many times there is live music to finish off the morning with, putting a smile on everyone's face as they head home.

Why would anyone buy produce at a chain grocery store when you can get much better at the farmers' market?

I love all the fresh produce, bread, sweets, and meats. Lots of fun, friendly people (not just the vendors) to chat with.

I love the friendly atmosphere and the awesome vendors who are so passionate about the products they're selling.

The best thing about this market is the atmosphere. Even if I'm not looking for anything in particular I really enjoy just being there.

Harrisonburg Farmers' Market has a wonderful selection of produce, breads, flowers, meat, and hand crafts. Everything is clean, displayed nicely, and easily accessible. The vendors are friendly and helpful, willing to share their expertise. The market is set up under a covered shelter, making shopping a pleasure.

I love the excellent quality and selection of fresh vegetables, as well as the friendly atmosphere. There are also some very talented artists selling jewelry and other assorted quality items.

It is one of the best markets I have ever been to! Such great variety and a wonderful atmosphere of community.

I love being a part of the local food movement - especially one that is so small but thriving. Harrisonburg Farmer's Market really exemplifies what it's all about: fresh, seasonal, and friendly!

I love the variety of food and other items I can purchase at the Harrisonburg Farmer's Market - from bread to cheese to fruits and vegetables, everything I have purchased has been wonderful, and I love supporting local producers.

I enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful vegetables and flowers. The local food is great and I am giving back to the community rather than major corporations. The free range and non-hormonal meat is also better than store-bought.

It's a good place to find some produce that either isn't carried in local supermarkets, or that is much higher in quality than what you find in a store.

Our family goes to the farmers' market every Saturday morning. We love the relaxing and fun atmosphere, friendly faces, and yummy local foods! Our favorites are the goat cheese, various organic produce, locally roasted fair trade coffee, and flower/veggie transplants for our garden!

It supports local farmers, which can't be said about a lot of places nowadays. The prices are reasonable and the variety is amazing. It is the one place I can depend on for fresh, healthy, and safe food.

The farmers market has such a huge variety of fresh produce, that with todays economy is wonderful!!! Plus, it's a great place to go and try different things the vendors have made. The plants and flowers are great too!! I could go on and on!!!

It's the happiest place in Harrisonburg! Local, fresh produce, happy people, good music - what more could you ask for?

I like keeeping my money local as much as possible, and I enjoy getting fresh produce,It always tastes better. Our farmers market works hard to make the experience of shopping there fun and attractive!

This is the place to be on Tuesday and Saturdays--the new pavillion makes it pleasant rain or shine, and the vendors have polished and perfected and enjoy it as much as the customers. Everything from soup to soap, beets to bread, and the vegetable plants have been magnificent. I see all the people I like most there, and all in smiles.

A fantastic variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables helps us support our local community.

wonderful, fresh organic produce, and always a chance to visit with good friends.

Great people and great locally-grown foods make this an attractive gathering place twice each week!
