Reviews for: Fulton Farmers' Market

This market has improved a lot since its beginning. I look forward to going each time to see what is there. I now buy almost all of my meat from Four String and Edelen Farms as I truly believe in sustainable farming and buying locally whenever possible. I look forward to more fresh produce as the seasons allow. The best way for this market to continue to improve and grow is for all of us to support it with regularity.

Maybe it was the weekend we chose or the time of year, but it was more of a "fest" than a farmers' market and a very small one at that. There were about 6 or 7 vendors. There were no vegetables. There had been some earlier in the morning (we were there at 9 am) but were told they sold out in about 45 minutes. My experience of a farmers' market is of fruits, vegetables and food in general. There were lots of jellies, jams and salsas but in this area, that is abundant at every event. There were two vendors with meats (beef and pork) and one with eggs. The others sold homemade clothing items and plants. Those are things that sell at Shrimporee or Art Fest. We will be back to the Farmers Market to see if it gets better in the months to come, as we live in the area, but our first time was very disappointing.

I love it and look forward to it on Saturdays. I find the vendor's there to be very friendly. I have found a variety of items. I love the Amish people who come over from Beeville with their products. Their pies are delicious and their soaps are wonderful--great prices too.

The people of Rockport-Fulton, from my experience as a vendor at the farmer market, are very callous and unfeeling. Early this year I decided to put my home up for sale in San Antonio and rented a travel trailer on Copano Bay to try the area out in anticipation of moving there. The people there treated me as if I was homeless, not friendly to me, never put me on the e-mail list nor included me in any vendor meetings or activities, and pretty much just treated me as if I was going to mooch off of them. I have since returned to San Antonio.

Because that crazy guy in the wheelchair and his wife make some of the best cookies I've ever tasted!

We visit Fulton often and it is great to find just what we want for beign on the beach
