Reviews for: The State Farmers Market

Supporting the State Farmer's Market is supporting our local farmers. The variety is very good and the crafts are great.

The Farmer's mkt. has great produce, crafts AND Mae Farms certified hormone-free, free-range cruelty free milk/dairy/eggs, and it is gorgeous and relaxing to walk around and look at all the veggies. The prices are less than the grocery store for most of the produce, and comparable for non-produce.

the State Farmers Market is helps both farmers who are trying to continue their way of life, and provides fresh resources to an increasingly urbanized population.

The vegetables always looks fresh and the prices are not bad. I like the friendly atmostphere.

We love the State Farmer's Market because of the wide variety of produce and local growers, as well as the proximity to our home and the year-round hours!

It has wonderful produce, an enormous selection and variety. We also like that many of the stands have samples available as no tomato or peach tastes the same. We have found some extraordinary tomatoes and peaches from sampling various vendors produce. There is also a fresh squeezed lemonade vendor that makes the best lemonade I have ever had. My daughter enjoys the vast array of fresh flowers. One of my son's enjoys the fresh herb selections.

I just moved to the Raleigh area from PA and so far the State Farmers market has been the most exciting and wonderful thing I've experienced in NC. Delicious food, beautiful sights, smells, and sounds. Met so many great people. I go every Saturday and look forward to it all week.

I always on the weekends to see what is in season. Everything is so fresh and delicious and you get to sample the produce.

Because that is what our family does since I am born, we go to markets as much as possible. It's a way of life.

Although it is a 30 minute drive, the State Farmers Market has so much more than the local market: lots more veggies and fruits to choose from, great bakery items, goat cheese (my favorite) and tons of plants. Our yard is full of plants purchased from there. Their plants are cheaper and healthier and there is more of a variety than at your local box store.

the sites and smells are enough to keep me going for the week. The people are always so nice. matter of fact i just got back from there!! really help the challenge of buying local.

Many Sundays we have started out at the Farmers Market restaurant for breakfast and then cruised the Farmers Market for veggies, plants and crafts. Better to support our local farmers than to support huge grocery store chains....and it's GOOD for you!

Since the weekend I moved to Raleigh I have loved visiting the State Farmer's Market. The farmer's are friendly and have amazing products.

Farmers keep more of the dollar I spend buying their produce; when they sell wholesale they only keep a dime, on average. I also enjoy talking with the sellers I meet and can give them unfiltered feedback.

Wide assortment of produce at a great value. Added bonus is the excellent Calabash seafood restaurant on site when you aren't ready to eat all those vegetables you just bought.

I have spent endless Sundays roaming the State Farmers Market with my dad, carefully picking out our family dinner. The friendliness of the locals, the quality of the selections and the sense of tradition the farmers market brings cannot be beat.

Great local produce at great values! It is one of the best Farmers Markets I've been to in the country.

The State Farmers Market has an amazing assortment of produce, flowers, cheeses and meats, and you can't forget the restaurants and shops. You can spend an entire weekend here.

Love it. Cheap, many local growers - you know things are fresh. My Mom and I were visiting and all she wanted was a purple tomato plant - they had it. Yummy and great for the home garden as well!

Friendly & extremely helpful & knowledge growers, great prices, excellent selections & varieties of veggies, fruits, trees, shrubs, plants, herbs, meats & fish, snacks, home-canned items, fresh fish market & restaurant, nursery & garden shop, & so much more!!!

Nothing like this in Maryland(where I currently live). Every time I come down to visit family, we try to stop in for whatever looks yummy! We now bring a cooler each trip to bring back our finds. What a great selection of fresh produce and food!!!

I can buy flowers, ornamental and garden plants, fruits, vegetables, organic meats, milk and eggs, also wonderful artisan breads. It is open year round with wonderful events for the family.

Fresh veggies and fruits, beautiful healthy plants and great Anders natural soap.

Friendly helpful folks , good prices & great produce. Wonderful plants & flowers. Makes for a great day outing. I like supporting the local folks .

Lots of local farmers, rock-bottom prices, wonderful food, huge variety including produce, meat, plants, james, seafood, friendly people and it's open daily.

They have a fab. selection of fresh foods, flowers and plants. The best part is the price.

In addition to the great local fruits & veggies, several local farms offering meats (locally raised, no growth hormones, free range) have set up in the vendor building behind the open buildings that face Lake Wheeler Road. The quality and difference are incredible. You'll never want pre-frozen meats that have been shipped from who-knows-where again!

It is 'the' place to purchase fresh vegetables and flowers. I also buy a lot of plants from the market because they are locally grown and easily adjust when planted. The restaurants are great.

It has so much to offer and is always a pleasure to visit. I worked there one summer, and a gentleman from a farmers' market in Alabama said it was quite impressive.

Gosh, I know it is a bit unfair since this is a state-sponsored market, but man is this one fabulous farmers' market! I have been walking away with FAR more than I intended to buy, and that's fine because it forces me to jam, freeze, consume more fresh fruits and veggies!!! YUM YUM YUM.

The State Farmers Market has the best selection of fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables with lots of farms providing a wide selection of produce.

From pansies to pumpkins, this market has all my top picks! The veggies are crisp and the fruit is yummy and sweet.

Can't beat the selection! Products, produce, flowers, great restaurant! What more can you ask for?

I love supporting local farmers, and this market has a huge selection of plants, fruits, veggies, etc. Hard to pick from just one vendor!

There is a variety of fresh products even cakes from international bakeries. I am a fan of Annelore's Authentic German Bakery! The Market is open 7 days a week from 8-5, convenient for many people. THE BEST MARKET IN TOWN!!!

The NC State Farmers Market offers a wide selection of produce, plants and flowers. It has a great atmosphere; just walking around the market is fun.

I enjoy getting fresh, NC grown veges and fruit. The plants are tip notch as well and its nice having such a large selection on all they sell.

I appreciate the quality and the tolerance and acceptance the farmers use when growing their product. Most of these farmers are responsible, accountable, trustworthy and rational. They are proud of what they grow.

Great variety and great prices. We love to get our Christmas tree there every year. We get the best honey we've ever had there. We bring all our visitors to the Farmer's Market, and they love it too!

There is always a vast variety of produce during the growing season. Every Christmas we select a gorgeous tree from our State market (they are always fresh and last a lengthy time), Best of all, most of the vendors are NORTH CAROLINIANS!

The food there is always great and local. The people are super nice and willing to help (:

I can always count on fresh, local produce (especially in the summer) and wonderful fresh produce at the Market Shops in the winter. The flower vendors, bakers, bee keepers (honey), organic meat, poultry and cheese vendors make for a delightful day of shopping.

The State Farmers Market has beautiful, fresh produce, the vendors are friendly, and is it ever busy!!!

I've been to it many times over the past 3 years and feel very comfortable with it. The people are friendly, it's very spacious and is always full of fresh products whether it be strawberries, honey, plants or cheese! Everything is always displayed nicely and tastes GREAT!

I love the state farmers market, because I know what I am getting goods that where grown with tender love and care. I love the local honey, it is delicious and helps with my allergies! I love the variety that is offered at this market. One great find that I found here is andouille sausage. I am originally from Louisiana and for me no sausage can compare to this.

It is the closest one. The other one I like is in Pittsboro, NC, but not on the list.

Our Raleigh Farmers Market is a splendid market - full of delicious fruits, vegetables, honey, jams, everything you could ever want! Attractively displayed and the farmers are so friendly and gracious and always happy to show off what they bring to the market. It is an open air market and very clean. A delicious restaurant is a minute away.

Good fresh food. As a community we need to support our neighbors and local economy

They have the best fruits and vegetables, as well as the best plants, flowers and hanging baskets at reasonable prices!

The produce is grown by local farmers and is always fresh, tasty and fairly-priced. The shrubs and flowers are also locally grown and are always healthy and beautiful. It's a fun place to buy wonderful food at great prices and to support local farmers at the same time!

There is a large variety of locally grown fruits, produce, plants & some meats as well as NC crafts
