Reviews for: Urban Harvest Farmers Market

Bee Wilde Bee and Honey Farm Proudly Supports this farmers Market!! Best Farmers Market in Houston for over 10 years!!!

this market has a warm neighborhood feel, and sells a good variety of eggs, dairy (GOAT MILK!!), and veggies...that alongside the meats, soaps, and prepared goods I don't buy so much, is overall awesome. Now I am pregnant I am especially careful with my source of foods, and feel esp. comfortabel with the goat milk folks. I really feel that I am supporting local farmers.

The tremendous variety of locally grown produce, prepared goods, meat, and eggs and the wonderful sense of community.

I believe in suppoting our local farmers and businesss. Furthermore, a sustainable future for our environment, health and our children. The variety at the Bayou City Farmers Market is superb. There is a plethora of produce and unique vendors with great exotic items. without the Bayou City Farmers MArket, my meals that I cook at home for myself, family and friends would not be so enjoyable. Thanks for the great selection, service and accomadations.

It's great to finally see such a sophisticated, community oriented farmers market in Houston. They have great products available from really friendly and welcoming farmers and vendors.

My passion is with my community of local growers and supporters. What they provide to Houston is food and love. Its easy to go to the supermarket and let it persuade your meals, yet it is more enriching to be able to create friendships and meals with your community.

I love my Farmers Market because it is close to my home, the vendors are friendly and have such great produce and products. It is much more of an event than going to the grocery store!

Because of the availability of fresh vegetables and to meet and support the vendors.

Because it is something very possitive, and going back to the basics, in the midst of this day and age of modern technology and rush fast foods.

It is a beautiful way to start the weekend, browsing through the stands of flowers, freshly picked vegetables and fruits, free-range eggs, handmade soaps, and smiling faces of people who love good food!

I like to meet the folks who grow my food, and I like to support small & family businesses

because it is one of the first farmer's markets in the city, they offer organic produce and non-organic as well as many other wonderful things, they just keep growing and getting better, the atmosphere is wonderful and they create a real sense of community

Because it a great way to keep local farmers afloat in this economy, and for the help that Urban harvest gives to local teachers.

I LOVE this Farmer's Market! You can find just about everything there, and it is local, how amazing is that. I love supporting all the vendors, and the more we buy, the more of a demand there will be for fresh local everything :) The music is great as well as the markets location. Oh, and did I say that I LOVE this market.

I love all of the vendors and the delicious food and quality products they sell! It is Houston's largest, most variety-filled farmer's market.

Excellent standards, great selection of produce and crafts. The market has become a true part of the community, and it has been exciting to see it grow from a small market to supporting a couple of thousand shoppers any given Saturday. I go every Saturday morning, right at 8am (when they open).

Out of all the markets in the area, it offers the most choices of produce, baked-goods, honey, eggs and desserst that we like to buy for our family.

Great large market selling plenty of produce and other goodies! Big emphasis on the produce which is great. The live music saturdays really helps too!

fruits and veggies are all grown w/o pesticides. Other food items are offered. Music is played on Sat.

I came across the BCFM driving to a friend's (we go out on his boat most Sat mornings). I was early for the meeting with my friend, so I checked out the mkt. Now I have my Urban Harvest Eco Bag & regularly shop at the mkt. Good products, good people, good vibes.

Because of the quality and value. Supporting our local farmers is the American way too!

The people are lovely, the prices are very reasonable and the produce is out of this world fantastic! Oh, and those ham and cheese croissants... Divine!

The array and variety of colorful people you can meet, greet and interact with as you stroll the aisles is as diverse as the products items and services which are being sold. Everyone--patrons and vendors alike, comes to the Bayous City Farmer's Market with expectations of having fun while stocking up and sharing only the freshest and bestest produce, honey, eggs, cheeses, milks, homemade desserts, ice creams, eggs, plants, shimp, sea food, meats, poultry, flowers, nuts, breads, baked goods, jams, sellies, soaps, and scents which make their lives more favorful. Lingering over a cup of fresh brewed coffee while listening to the livest of live music or sitting back in a chair people watching-- this place IS where it is happeing in Houston!!! It puts personal back into personality and that diffently is what the Bayou City Farmer's Market has--that and Julia the spotted one.

Bayou City Farmers Market is the best in Houston. The wide selection of produce is always top quality. The vendors are friendly and able to answer your questions or give advice on how to prepare their vegetables. And the music adds to the over all experience of choosing your food grown locally.

It is a great place to meet and support hard-working local farmers! It is nice to know where your food is coming from!!

Bayou City Farmer's Market always has fresh LOCAL organic food available. Besides being convenient and fun to shop there, it is a more personable and satisfying way to find what you need without having the sterile supermarket experience. The people you find there are always friendly. I learn something new each time I go.

They are consistently the best market in the Houston area, the best selection, the best location, and the best coffee/cheese/flourless chocolate cake/eggs/honey/meat/chicken/vegetables ANYWHERE !

Because the farmers from the surrounding area are working long hours to bring us the freshest possible products; because I suppport Urban Harvest in their school and community educaation efforts; because yard eggs are so much more flavorful than those from confined hens; and because the prepared food vendors offer such delicious goodies.

Any local grown produce tastes so much better than the mostly California grown stuff in the supermarkets.

We all need to support our local markets and their efforts. Great products and nice variety.

I love the fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables. As a result of my purchases, I believe that I am living a healthier life. The vendors are very friendly and well informed about their products/produce.

Helps locals sell their produce in order to maintain an avenue for freshness and organic choices as oppossed to imported and often tasteless produce from the big boxes.

I like to support local people and when the products are great it makes it a no-brainer.

I love getting local, fresh porduce right from the people who grow it in this hot Texas climate. As a transplant from Southern California, I never thought I could find the foods I love anywhere else but Bayou City Farmer's Market makes me feel like I am back in Cali.

The food is delicious and the vendors are very helpful. It is a fun shopping experience!

It's nice to get the fresh vegetables now that I enjoyed from our small family garden growing up.

Despite my current inability to go to the market as often as I like, I really enjoy this market. The vendors are personable and the foods sold are always outstanding and relatively economical.

In addition to offering beautiful, organic fresh vegetables, Bayou City Farmers Market challenges one to try something new...for instance, watermelon gazpacho & world peace tamales...delicious and different! We tried them, purchased them, and enjoyed them at home.

I like Organic. Farmers are children of soil nd they protect mother earth's sanctity with their own sweat.

Houstonian's should support the "Bayou City"; and i'm always open to supporting local business

Truly tasty tomatoes that, having left my rural home 25 years ago, I never thought I would ever experience again.

The market is a wonderful teaching tool for my granddaughters. They especially enjoy Kid's Day and the animals. The five year old has learned how to plan eating at least 3-5 vegtables each day. She also knows which vegtables, fruits, and dairy products contain the essential vitamins she needs to grow a healty body and mind. Because this market is sponsered by the Urban Harvest Organization we are also helping school gardens develop across Houston. This child friendly market has taught her to appreciate a sense of community and she looks forward to visiting "the lady with the potatoes" every weekend. The samples tastes are also a big hit!

I enjoy the variety offerred in all the food groups at BCFM. I really like tasting some of the items that can be sampled that I know nothing about prior to the sample taste, and have often tried(lots of failed attempts) to make the item myself. I was country raised and to be able to taste truely fresh, farm raised produce, eggs, milk, etc. is not only a treat I look forward to; but it is also a trip down memory lane with every bite. I also enjoy the music when available and the people watching as I explore and shop.

Wonderful food, great people who grow/make the food (love talking to them) and all-in-all a nice, folksy ambience. I like to support local farmers and cooks.

It's important for our community to learn about fresh farmed foods, meet the producers and be inspired to buy local!

Coming from a small town in Southern IL where summers meant a huge garden full of home grown goodness the Bayou City Farmers market allow's me to still have that "home grown" produce that I crave in the big city!

I have been walking to the market at 8:00 every Saturday for more than a year! We would not miss it...even if the only thing we buy is a cup of fabulous iced coffee!

It is the best in my area.. The vendors aare friendly and helpful. The food is to die for.

Love the variety of vendors, the great layout, the cameraderie between the vendors plus parking is relatively easy.

Love, love, love everything and everyone there. I'm from Mississippi and this Is the only place I can get fresh vegetables like this.

It's hard to find a "community" feeling in the heart of Houston. BCFM gives that feeling. From the vendors to the great selection of locally grown produce this is a great outing on a Saturday!

The produce is fantastic and it's the only place I buy meat and eggs. I do 95% of my shopping at the market, where the variety of products allows me to do so, and the quality if far superior to any grocer in town. It's for a healthier life and a healthier planet!

It is fun, they have a large selection of vendors produce, plants, shrimp, live music and close to home.

The market is almost like a weekly festival celebrating the bounty of our local farmers and the diversity of people who populate our community. It's great to be with people who share the wisdom of feeding themselves and their souls with good food. Plus, the folks of Urban Harvest want other communities to gain from their knowledge! The more the merrier is true for vendors, customers, markets, music, plants, gardens, sun, rain, and wind! How can one not go to the market and smile? It's a pleasure to buy from the grower and be greeted as a friend.

I love supporting local growers and ranchers! I love that Houston has a place to go for the freshest local seasonal produce and develop a relationship with the people who provide this wonderful food.

It is great to know where my food comes from, as well as it being more nutritious.

Fresh food, fresh food, fresh food! Beautiful, delicious, nutricious! Fun! The sense of community.

IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS AND BUSINESSES AND BESIDES THAT THE FRESH PRODUCE IS HEALTHIER FOR ALL OF US!!!

My husband and I started going to this market when we moved here from San Francisco. There was only a few stalls and it has been great to see it grow into a large, thriving market. We love the coffee, all the produce and great quality meat. Keep growing Bayou City Market!

I found out about that farmer's market by word of mouth and started buying my fruits, veggies, and other yummy items there...they were great and I loved supporting the locals. I also loved the little goats they have there too.

The people are nice, there is an amazing assortment of produce, and it supports local farmers. I'm there every weekend buying my extended families groceries.

It's close, local and supports the small food grower. And the people are just fun!

Love the atmosphere of this market and the many choices of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Support local family growers and sustainable growing practices. And good food too!

Because, being from the East, where I am accustomed to roadside stands, where farmers would offer their fresh produce, and not having anything even close to a Farmer's market in Sugar Land, AND because I support those who work for bring the rest of us fresh vegetables and fruit..you have my vote..

I have only been once, but I loved it and plan to go back! EVERYTHING I purchased was so fresh and tasty. The vendors that I had the opportunity to speak with were very knowledgable and so friendly, even after standing out there for hours in the 100 degree plus heat! Can't wait to go back this Saturday.

They have the best vendors and the greatest fruits and veggies every week! They send out weekly emails letting us know who will be at the market that week, and what they will have available so I can plan my list and week of meals before I head over there. The vendors are fantastic! Very friendly and always willing to help with suggestions on how to cook things that I have never made before. They have unique vendors w/ desserts, dips, ice cream (homemade), a coffee vendor who is very popular and friendly. It is like going to a block party on Saturday morning. Friends meet up and have a cup of coffee while looking over what is available and giving each other suggestions on how to make something.

Great selection of organic/sustainable produce AND especially because they have "different" vegetables that you don't find at any local supermarket.

Great products, I love that's it's locally grown/produced and It's great knowing the vendors.

I love the mission of healthy, safe food, and I love watching them grow form 5 stalls to where they are now. I love the comraderie, the sellers and the music. I come from France & San Francisco where this is the only way to shop and enjoy life.

The organization and vendors care about the quality and sustainability of their products. Also, Urban Harvest is very involved with local community and educational outreach programs. I'm proud to support them!

Such a great array of local products, farmers, culture and it just keeps growing. Love seeing so many local chefs there in the morning picking up there supplies for dinner that night too!

This well run farmer's market features a great variety of all organic products. It is festive and welcoming, easy to get to, good parking, friendly people.

It's Amazing! It's so great to have the healthiest options and support the local community!

Sustainable markets are the lifeblood of the local farmer, we support locally grown food!

Of course, I love all the fresh produce and natural products! Plus the great conversations with the local vendors and folks mingling - all having a grand Saturday morning at the market!

One of the best farmer's markets I've had the opportunity to shop from. I love that the produce is organically grown and I like to support local growers. I also appreciate the wonderful selection of fresh dairy products as well. Great atmosphere, easy access, lots of fun!

I love the idea of supporting the farmers in my area, because it benefits my health and their pocketbook! From everything I've read, locally grown (organic) produce is the freshest and the most packed with nutrients. I also enjoy knowing I really am enabling the local farmers to stay in buisness. I also love the one on one interaction, vendor and customer, where people still interact with each other. I love the community atmosphere and the music. Thanks for being there Bayou City Farmers Market!

I was lucky enough to be involved with the opening of the market, and truly understand the grass root support and dedication needed to make the market work. The loyal buyers and local growers are truly in a partnership that benefits us all. One of the real important reasons to continue supporting the market is also the education about nutrition that may help us understand the joy of eating seasonally.

I feel we need to support local growers and try our best to buy foods that have been grown within 100 miles of our homes, reducing the consumption/production of fossil fuels used in transporting foods.

I grew up on a farm and then got transplanted here in Houston. Going to market helps me make Houston home.

Houston is a big city and getting to a place where organic vegetables are locally grown and sold can be quite a challenge. Bayou City Farmers Market makes themselves centrally accessible. Because of its wide array of offerings it provides excellent choices from honey and cheese to vegetables and fruits. As well, local entertainment provides a fun setting in which to make your selections. I'm thankful to have such an opportunity to select healthy foods for my family.

Bayou City Farmers Market is one-stop shopping for me. I can get everything I need to eat healthy, I can find great gifts to give, and it is a lot of fun!

Absolutely the best produce anywhere, more than satisfies my inner rabbit - a sheer delight!

A lot of fresh variety of vegetables and fruits, healthy meat, eggs and chicken is the first reason I think the Bayou City Farmers Market is the best place to go on Saturdays morning. The second is the many friendly people we encounter there, and the nice musicians that entertain the customers. And what about the good coffe shop? Nydia Bustos

They are the best place to buy local produce and meats in town! And the people there are the best. You actually know your farmers!

Because it has great stuff, and is convenient to where I live. I also run into friends there and the vibes are good!

I love the superior fresh produce and eggs and meat and fish and music... it simply is the best. I also love the charming vendors who bring their wonderful home grown products. IAndt...I am always impressed at the number of high end chefs who shop at the market for their restaurans. It is truly wonderful to live in an area that has a Farmers' Market like this one. I am sorry though that the dogs can't come; I never brought my dog, but I loved seeing all of the canine visitors.

Because they have the best selection ive seen by far at a farmers market in the metropolitan area. Not to mention the vendors have become like family to me with their friendly approach to marketing.

I simply love the place. The small gardeners at the end with their little plants and herbs are great. 2nd the vote for Hatterman's eggs, his stories are great too. Also like the Swede farm goat milk, best tasting stuff this side of heaven. (love your id verification below)

It's a really nicely run market with excellent vendors and music in a central location and of course, local farmers!

The market encourages buying local, buying fresh, the vendors are friendly. Inspires small town community in the big city! Everyone just looks happy and it makes for a great start to the weekend.

The main attraction for me is Leon Hatterman's eggs, but I always end up leaving with bags full of fresh produce, or flowers as well as eggs. It's a happy place to go early on a Sat. morning.

It's a great market - the best one in Houston with the most diversity of items to purchase It's also really a great community building type of thing to have right around the corner!

fun place to shop and browse and mingle with new folks, and the produce is fantastic! The variety of vendors is outstanding!

This is the cheapest,most organic, Raw Food containing market closes to my house. I can also talk to the grower or preparer. I can support my neighbor which may give me something to lean on when I need help. Neighbors working together in a community to build a more sustainable community.

They consistently have the freshest produce of any particular season, and the most variety of products.

It is a refreshing way to spend Saturday morning. A cup of coffee. Something sweet. Lots of opportunities to buy fresh garden vegetables. And, so many other things. If i do it right, it only takes me an hour or so to come home with bags full of things that are unavailable anywhere else.

Local produce, eggs, meats, and goat cheese. Knowlegable and friendly vendors, happy to discuss their products. an excellent way to learn to eat seasonally.

Because the food just tastes better from the Farmer's Market. The Bayou City Farmers' Market has a great selection. And it is so much fun to talk to the farmers. You can tell from talking that some of them are great cooks and they can give you great ideas for using their yummy fresh produce.
