Reviews for: Midtown Farmers Market/Houston

Best place in Houston to find fabulous produce and small batch prepared foods at reasonable price. We can always depend on Monica and her well-chosen group to bring the best possible produce in a very friendly environment. The most delicious breakfasts and coffee ever.

The relationships with teh growers, bakers, vendors cannot be beat! We have been visiting this market on Saturdays since our twins were 2 - they are almost 7. Midtown Farmers market is how we start our Saturday mornings.

Monica (T'afia) and her team do such a great job of promoting and offering local grown produce and Texas wines. Her restaurant menu offerings are delicious and creative. The farmers margket is a unique, one of a kind location!

FRESH PRODUCE, YUMMY CAKES, CHEESES AND TARTS. ALL LOCATED AT T'AFIA, SO YOU CAN SIT FOR A GREAT LUNCH WHEN YOU FINISH BROUSING.

Having a variety of fresh, locally grown organic produce readily available at the Midtown Farmer's Market has changed the way I eat for the better. Plus it's just plain fun. I look forward to it all week because you never know what's in store or which fascinating people who also support local produce you're going to meet next. It's not just a market; it's a community that I hope will grow into a way of life for the majority of Americans as we learn how important the source and quality of our food is both to our health and to sustainable farming practices.

As a longtime green market-goer (1979, Union Square) the midtown market is an intimate and wonderful community event supporting local and seasonal produce/merchants - a fabulous start to any Saturday morning. Although not large by my comparison markets - Santa Monica, West Hollywood - I have never witnessed the strong connection to community that Monica Pope has established at her Saturday morning farmer's market.

MidTown Market combines an local foods, local products and community. The market offers cooking classes to introduce ways to incorporate local produce and goods into dinner tonight!

The vendors are not vendors, but friends who share their passion in what they do for the community. I enjoy speaking with others who have a passion for what they grow or make.

Vendors are wonderful, Monica is creative, produce is fresh and it is just a darn good time!

There is a great variety of food, people and events at Midtown Farmers Market in Houston. We love the friendly atmosphere and especially Monica Popes' approach to community and food.

Beautiful local produce and products, friendliness of people, and Monica Pope is irresistible!

I don't like wondering whether I'm eating pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and I do like knowing where my feed grew and who grew it. Also like the quality of Midtown Farmers Market/Houston's community and information-sharing about the produce, ideas for preparing it, and anything else that may come up.

it's local, inclusive, friendly, fun, educational and brings the community together in a mutually beneficial environment.

Wonderful community spirit! Beautiful vegetables with helpful farmers. Always something new and interesting -- from artesian breads to local cheese to hand-made soaps. And best yet . . . a complimentary eat-local-cook-simple class every Saturday with T'afia chef-owner Monica Pope. What a day!

They have consistently supported local growers and have given Houstonians a choice in the food they consume.

It's a beautiful, friendly location with so much personality. We've been introduced to so many great local merchants who provide fantastic prepared foods, and even more with lovely farm-fresh staples. Try a little bit of everything, and you'll come back again and again to get more...and find out what's new...week after week.

I love this market because it allows the food preparer (me) to meet/purchase from the food grower direct. The food is fresh naturally - not by manufactured tweaking of Mother Nature and you CAN taste the difference! Finally it's just a nice, relaxied , morning outing to start off the weekend - delightful!!

This is a true gem in the middle of a great city. The market combines locally grown fresh produce, locally prepared food, exceptional cooking classes and creative vendors. Chef Monica Pope has created more than a market; she has created a market with a true sense of "community".

All farm fresh... All the time... AND fun things to go along with purchase..cooking... taste testing!

I started buying at Midtown Farmers Mkt when I started attending Monica Pope's cooking class. Now I visit regularly with some of the vendors. That makes it more fun. Buy local and get to know the farmers - always mentioned in locavore articles and books.

The market is awesome and I support Monica's approach of using local, organic foods on her menu

Being w/the folks who make the freshest local produce available is my idea of shopping. I also support Slow Food.

Who doesn't love a farmer's market. I live in NYC and love my own mid town market. My sister lives in Houston and digs hers :)

Monica Pope and the local farmers are doing a terrific job in keeping us inspired to cook the simple way by Alice Waters.....there is no better connection than that!

They do a great job sourcing local produce, cheesemakers, artisanal breads, prepared food vendors and more! And, it's fun!

Great, high quality fruits, veggies, cheese, meat, bread, you name it and it's all local!

I only by local and shop at a couple of markets a week, but the best vendors come to the Midtown Market.

good fresh produce, artisan breads, jellies and spreads and grass-fed beef. Also, a great way to get together with like-minded people

There's lots of beautiful produce to choose from, as well as delicious prepared foods offered by friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic vendors. Great ambiance inside and out! The cooking class is so much fun thanks to Monica's delightful and sometimes irreverent style, and her command of all things culinary. "It's all local, all the time," an excellent philosophy put into action every day at t'afia and the Midtown Farmers' Market.

Great produce - Great ready made dishes -- just those sage crackers are worth the trip.

The selection is wide; the produce fresh, appealing, and local; and the vendors friendly and helpful. It feels like home.

It is an amazing collaborative with local growers, sustainable meats, delicious prepared foods and local crafters. They have breakfast inside, and Monica Pope does a free cooking class during the market. It is a great way to bring the community together!!

Ever been to Houston? Ever been to downtown or midtown or the medical center and yearned to find a decent grocer? Midtown Farmers Market is like an oasis in the desert. Brings life back to citylife and joy to Saturday mornings. I appreciate the people that organize it and promote it.

Midtown Farmers' Market always has a wide variety of local & organic foods, beverages, and crafts. Monica's cooking class is so much fun that it should be on tv!!

Midtown Farmers Market/Houston ROCKS! They always have a wide variety of fruits and veggie as well as cheeses, meats and other cool things.

It's local. Usually organic. Great varieties of fresh local fruits, farm eggs, veges and humanely raised animal products.

The food is fresh and the vendors are always pleasant and informative. I love the atmosphere and quality experience as much as the delectable produce and other goods I get to take home.

It is the best! Wonderful vendors, great produce, fun cooking class--and breakfast too!

well i believe in eating good food and where theres good food theres good people also, in the same place that is and i like to encourage good food and good people they go together like the chicken and the egg

Great seasonal variety, vendors who care about what they raise and sell. Very convenient location.

Because the vendors there are passionate about their produce! And the produce is amazing, we've learned so much since we started going there and the Green Plum Cooking class is the best!!

Cooking class is a wonderful way to start the weekend. Strong community feeling. And there's air conditioning!

Great people, fresh and healthy food, Monica's cooking class - they have changed my life!!

People are very nice, produce is great! It was our first visit, but we will definitely be going back!

It is important to support our local farmers and vendors, especially in tougher economic times, not to mention the plus of organic items. We do not need to ingest more chemicals

They take it a step farther with a great curatorial eye regarding quality, origin and integrity.

This Market is small but offers a lot of diversity there is a commumity table with produce from many farms. Also indoors is the prepared foods and Texas cheeses. It is very family oriented.

It is a great Saturday outing. I have enjoyed watching it grow as more people become interested in selling and buying.
