Reviews for: Toledo Farmers Market

We got to the Toledo Farmer's Market at least twice a month. There are local vendors there and we get great produce, especially this time of year. Flying Rhino is also their with their roasted coffee beans and making coffee drinks.

This is a very relaxing and enjoyable place to visit on the weekends and of course there is nothing better than fresh vegetables. Parking, price, and produce are accessible to all.

We love the local produce, farm fresh ice cream, and local honey. I always see a friend or two and leave feeling like I am part of something bigger than just me.

I have been going to the market for most of my life. I went as a kid and now do my shopping every Sat. at market. I am a firm believer in eating local food, also what's in season. I like knowing where my food comes from. I only wish that the growing season lasted longer.

I've been going to Toledo Farmer's Market for over a decade. The produce is always great, and the local vendors/farmers are very knowledgeable, helpful and upbeat. I also like the programs like the Soup Tastings and recipe demonstrations. Yea Market!

I love interacting with the families who have been selling their food at the Market for generations, and I like knowing where my food is coming from. It makes me feel better to spend my money locally and to know that it is helping keep these family farms alive. But too, I like the community that the Farmer's Market perpetuates. Sometimes you'll see friends down there, old classmates, former co-workers, or just people you don't see all the time. Sometimes you just say Hi and catch up, or maybe you go out for coffee or lunch. And last - the fruits, flowers, and vegetables are just fresher and they taste better.

I love my farmers market because the foods are always so fresh. They taste 100 times better than what you get at the grocery store. The vendors and are always so friendly and let us know how to keep what we buy fresh. I love the farmers market. I just wish they were open a few more days downtown.

Nothing beats the freshness of local produce. Our local growers are the best in the mid-west.

I've just recently moved from Toledo to Columbus OH and still go back to Toledo every other weekend. Comparing the two cities Toledo has a *much* wider selection of local fruits and veggies. For such a smaller city, it's got the best Farmers Market I've ever seen!

the friendliest with the freshest vegetables and fruit/ excellent selection and prices!

I support this market because it has local farmers selling their produce. It is fresh, reasonable, and wondeful. The variety is great as well

Love to go down and support our local farmers buying their wonderful produce. Wonderful atmosphere in downtown Toledo.

Simply put, buying locally grown, baked and crafted is the perfect way to support our community. When we aid one another, we grow and prosper. When we do not, like our gardens, we wither and die. Our Farmers Market is a wonderful place to gather and share information with experienced individuals who are willing to invest in our future.

What a special way to spend a Saturday morning...shopping for fresh "off the truck from the fields" produce, meeting people, enjoying samples, and always smelling that kettlekorn. Yum!

My family supports the Toledo Farmers Market becuase it helps local farmers, allows us to enjoy fresh, local, healhty produce in season, it is a family friendly atmosphere, and it gives us an opportunity to teach our children the importance of buying local, eating healthy, knowing where our food comes from, and which foods are in season when. Market Day is our family's favorite day of the week!

A wonderful place to get homegrown fruits and veggies and besides that it is a great place to meet friends, to socialize and have a great cup of coffee.

I have been going to the Farmers Market since I was a child. It is still a great experience. I love to get the fresh food.

Our Farmer's Market has EVERYTHING fresh and local and the vendors are extremely friendly all the time.

I do not live in the area, but I try to come there as often as possible...I support home gardeners because I believe in them. Farmers and home gardeners are the backbone of this country. It is an enterprise where people come together on a weekend and enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables...I wished I lived close by, but when I am in the area, I support them...I send people there from all over..When people are traveling I send them to the Farmers Market...Even people that live near by does not know that is in that location...Again, I suport you, and so happy I can come and get my veggies, and yes even a fresh chicken if I want....You have something special going on there on a larger scale and the people are so friendly ....Need I say more...love it!!!!

The Toledo Farmers' Market has been around since 1832 and is still going strong! Wonderfully fresh produce and other organic/sustainably grown/raised products, including farm-fresh eggs, locally sourced. Great people, cooking demonstrations, music, events; the list goes on!

I love walking around the farmers market....great local fresh produce, friendly vendors, baked goods, and plants and flowers are all available. It's an enjoyable early day outing. Sometimes there is live entertainment and special events happening as well. It's the best!

FRIENDLY...FUN...FRESH...VARIETY...HEIRLOOM...ORGANIC...LOCAL...EDUCATION...EXCELLENT GARDENING RESOURCES...VENDOR PRIDE...FAMILY...NEW & OLD FACES...COOKING INSPIRATION...QUALITY... Did I say that I love the Toledo Farmers' Market? And being one of the vendors (Flying Rhino Coffee), I have to say that coming to the market in the wee hours of the morning is like a wonderful family reunion. Both other vendors and customers make the whole day so enjoyable. Thanks!

The TFM vendors take pride in their produce, baked goods, plants and many other goods they bring to market every week. The popularity of the market (even over the winter months) shows they have the freshness and goodness shoppers are looking for. I've been shopping at the TFM for more than 20 years and never been disappointed. Everyone is always friendly and willing to share their growing tips or cooking ideas. Good Luck Toledo Farmer's Market. Support our local growers.

I support the Toledo Farmers Market because locally grown organic foods are essential to cutting down carbon emissions, our community's health and the sustainability of our resources.

I love the infectious, positive attitudes of all the vendors and visitors at the Farmer's Market. All the produce, breads, soaps, coffees, etc are so fresh and yummy. It is very inspiring to see so many people in the community come together to enjoy local food and local, homemade products. Not to mention the many themes (Canning demonstrations, salsa cooking, pie contents, etc) that accompany the Market on different weeks. There is always something new to learn when you visit--how many times do you get that opportunity at a regular grocery store?

It is THE BEST farmer's market I have ever visited!! There is always a WIDE variety of vendors/products. We visit every single week, even if we don't purchase a thing. It's also a great meeting place!

It is fresh, local and supports locally grown seasonal produce grown by local farmers.

The quality of the food and products sold are phenomenal (kids love the kettle corn!) and the vendors are so kind. My two and three year old look forward to going every week.

Try to get to the Market every Saturday all summer long. Love to see all of the people strolling and all of the fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers!!!

They are all very friendly, great food, easy access, other then our mayor being there on occassion it is filled with great people, and they accept food vouchers.

All the vendors are so friendly. You feel like you are part of community when you are there!

I like to shop local and I also like the fact that the farmers are there and you can talk to them about the produce.

We feel much better keeping our money flowing in our local community. The food is fresher and we get to know the people who grow it.

Believe in buying local and fresh! Such a fun place to be on a Saturday morning besides.

It's the best we've found in the area. Buying locally grown food from the producer is crucial to rebuilding our nutrition, and this is a great place to do it.

I go through market withdrawal in the winter. The prices can't be beat. My daughter loves the pistachio muffins. I can freeze/can lots of produce to add to my soups in the fall/winter. Fresh applesauce is THE BEST when apples are purchased from the market!

I love the Toledo Farmers Market because it is a great way for me to support local farmers and buy local produce and other products. The Market is in a nice location, is large enough to offer great selections and is open year round. All the vendors are friendly and open to answering questions. The Market has a nice website and if you sign up to their mailing list, they send periodic emails about upcoming events. The Toledo Farmers' Market is a great place to spend a Saturday morning.

When you buy local you know who your getting it from, it's fresh and not coated with a bunch of wax. The Toledo Farmers Market is an awsome place to hang out and learn more about the local farming community. It gives you a better appreciation for the food you eat.

I love to support the local growers and it brings pride to the Toledo Area. It reminds me of when I was young, and .my parents would take us to the Farmers Market. It's a very nice childhood memory.

The Toledo Farmer's Market is a great community asset. It provides local produce and a great environment for the "buy local" movement. I support it because it provides the best produce at a less expensive cost. =)

Toledo has the BEST farmer's with the BEST fresh fruit and produce around. Everything is priced great and you know it's fresh since it's local!

freshest food, diverse vendors, neighborhood feel, and a great way to one-on-one with the source!

I like getting fresh picked and home grown produce. It is most delicious! Most importantly, I want to buy locally and support my local farmers and boost my local economy.

Best place to shop, visit people face to face who work so hard for us - they are THE BEST! Huge selection and variety. Wonderful low prices.

I've lived in many places, and the Toledo Farmers Market has been the most vibrant. Its flagship market in downtown Toledo bustles on Saturday mornings and afternoons with vendors from northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. One can find a veritable cornucopia of produce along with locally roasted organic and fair-trade coffee; locally produced organic, artisan cheeses; fresh-cut and potted flowers and herbs; locally baked breads and pastries; and free-range poultry, eggs, and beef. Add to that local musical entertainment and there's no better way to spend a Saturday morning or afternoon, I've found no other farmers market like it. The Toledo Farmers Market also increase accessibility with weekday satellite markets while also accepting food stamps and credit/debit cards and having programs for senior citizens.

Saturday mornings at the Farmer's Market are a treat for my kids and me. We enjoy having access to super fresh produce, freshly baked breads, locally produced cheeses and honeys, and locally roasted coffee.

I love taking my children there to buy produce and support local business. There is a lot to be learned by taking part in community events, and picking out fresh fruits and vegetables to eat (not waste) together with your family!

A great alternitive to the "gassed" produce from the big box stores!!!

The Toledo Farmers Market brings local produce to Toledo residents every week. And I especially enjoy the wide variety of vegetables.

Locally grown food tastes better, is fresher, less expensive, and spending money locally benefits the whole community.

We love our historic downtown area, and the market just adds to the flavor, great food and smiling faces. Over the years it's been a great way to kick off the weedend on a Saturday morning, and then walk to a favorite spot for coffee, or some community art, a walk by the river, or just admire the beautiful old buildings, maybe later in the day you can take in a ballgame. It promotes our feeling of commmunity and a simpler time.

Lots of local fresh produce at reasonable prices and its fun to take a day and go to market the way people did in days gone by and still do and its important to help to give each generation a sense of the way things were in the past and how tradition and good health is something we need to carry on.

I like to support local growers! I also know where the food is coming from, and it doesn't have to travel so far, and then maybe getting a deal on the price of the food. Support local!

Our Farmer's Market is the best place to spend Saturday mornings! The people, the produce, the fruit! It's great!

Our farmer's market has a long history of bringing people together to buy healthy, local food. I love the positive energy there and also appreciate some satellite markets that have grown from the main one downtown.
