Reviews for: Maggie's Ringwood Farmers' Market

Local is the best freshest food! Thanks for being local for our family. We need more like this in Ringwood.!!

Great variety of local produce and vendors. I especially like Moon Doggy Coffee Roasters. They roast their own beans so are always extremely fresh!

It is local food. Good food and nice to meet people from the community and feel part of a community

I love, love, love, the pizza pies and the fresh produce....not to mention the prices!!!!!!!!!!!

After my mother died in 1985,my sister moved to Ringwood,NJ and I stayed in NY. It was a great time going out to see her and she loved Ringwood. My sister took me all over to tag and garage sales and we always loved our veg. Growing up in the Bronx, we didn't have much money so instead of candy, we would eat raw onions,raw potatoes, raw celery and raw carrots. My sister unfortunately died @ age 50 in 2001 and I miss her so much.

I enjoy supporting the local families/businesses. I also appreciate the freshness and quality of the products.

It's a wonderful service that is provided to the community, by having fresh produce that is locally grown available for a reasonable cost to the pepole of Ringwood.

The produce is fresh and very reasonably priced. The bakery is incredible and I get to learn about the activities in the community all in one place.

I love supporting local farmers and enjoy the "family" atmosphere at the market.

I enjoy walking around the market and choosing vegetables and fruits that I know have not been sitting in crates form weeks travel to my basket. The "feel" of the neighbor interaction if great.

I believe the Ringwood Farmer's Market is very special in that it was implemented by a group of volunteers and parents that had the vision of improving our community by raising awareness of locally grown products.

Great food...supporting local farmers. Just all around wonderful place to shop!

Its a great place to see familiar faces and get great veggies and fruit at the same time!!

Their Eat Local Mission is important to our community. They are doing a great job promoting local vendors.

Great selection of wholesome products at reasonable prices. The kids always like to visit and it helps to educate them about the importance of healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.

The BEST produce and locally made products around! Fabulous grass roots movement to support local grown produce. Awesome organization & super people

EatLocal highlights commerce, fellowship and charity in our lovely town with the Ringwood Farmers Market. The Ringwood Famers Market is rich in variety and fresh products; provides an old fashioned country atmosphere for shopping and socializing; and works within the community to provide educational opportunities out-side of the growing season. Love the market and all it brings to Ringwood!

It's the best market I've ever been to! Live music, great vendors and a wonderful community feel.

We love buying local! The Ringwood Farmers' Market have a wonderful variety, friendly people and great music. We have a few farmers markets closer to us, but are definitely willing to drive the extra distance to the RFM.

Love meeting my neighbors and supporting our local farmers; entertainment, good food -- home-made treats, etc. ALL are terrific!

The opportunity to buy local, buy fresh - it's wonderful!!! I wish we could have a longer season

The food is so fresh and the local farmers are friendly. They even helped me to start my own herb garden. Great people-healthy food!

I live 4miles from this market.I know where everything is grown, so it's local, local, local. The savings coupled with the QUALITY can't be beat. EVERY vendor is friendly. Love, love, LOVE it!

The food is fabulous, the entertainment is great and it's a wonderful spot to meet friends on a Saturday morning :-)

Besides all the wonderful fresh fruit, there is live music and its another great opportunity to see neighbors and friends and they have interactive shows, games and crafts for kids and my 6 year old daughter loves it! (she won a prize in the dog show)

We love it and it's so close to home in Oakland. The vendors are fantastic, great produce and extremely friendly. It's become a Saturday morning ritual.

I love having fresh produce and delicious pasta, pizza, pickles, ect. available!!! I want to support the local vendors and farms. This wonderful market has meant so much to my family since its inception, and I hope it will be around for many years to come!

It's local and easy to get to. People are friendly. Music is wonderful. Food is awesome! It's in Ringwood who could ask for anything more!

it's wonderful to be able to enjoy fresh products grown and made within a 150 mile radius.

Wow! For so many reasons, ban't name them all. MAINLY, a chance to see old friends, buy from our local neighbors, chat & get all the latest news in Ringwood; eat fab food; hear terrific music. SUPPORT the efforts of all the charitable orgs that benefit from the Farmers' market venue; get the best veggies and fruits, plants, org. meats, home-made entrees, etc. etc. I LOVE IT -- brings back some nostalgia for the "good old days".

I love the food and the people. I love that I can support local farmers and artisans by purchasing their items.

It is a fun morning for the kids and there are different choices that one would not get at a supermarket.

I love the fresh foods, the people who grow them, the energy, the music, the dogs

The Market is in my home Town. Good Fresh Food. Fun to Shop at. Smiling Faces & Great Music.

I like to support the local farmers and vendors. The variety keeps getting better each time and I know the items are always fresh.

It's important to "think local" and support non-corporate small businesses especially during this volatile economy.

The produce is fresh - the prepared foods are delicious- the people are helpful and courteous - dogs are welcomed and water provided. Music is very enjoyable. There is something new every week besides my regular favorites.

I can shop locally, the vendors are great folks, the variety and quality of items offered is fantastic, I can eat healthy AND treat myself to some delightful goody (or two), the live music (as opposed to Muzak) is a plus - - its a win-win-win-win-win-win experience!

Fresh local produce and lots of other great stuff and not expensive. I like the idea of the money I spend NOT GOING to Walmart family and going into the bank accounts of local farmers and business owners.

I enjoy the great variety of quality products-breads,produce,preserves, etc. The musical accompaniment adds to the pleasure of shopping. In addition, the proximity to the library and children's playground allows for family members to also enjoy the experience.

The produce is Â?Farm FreshÂ? as well as the baked goods. The entertainment is great and a fun way to spend some time with friends and neighbors.

The products are all fresh and wonderful. There is a perfect number of vendors with a variety of goods without becoming too redundant. You can go home armed to make a delicious meal without having to go anywhere else for ingredients. It is a wonderful way to spend Saturday morning-a cup of fresh coffee, a fresh bakery item, some fresh air, and some beautiful, live music.

Fresh, local produce is a delicious and nutritious. It's a wonderful experience for our children and community to enjoy the variety of offerings.

Great way to eat well, support the local community businesses, catch up with friends, hear some good music. My kids love to help pick out the fruits & veggies & munch on a delicious cranberry scone while listening to music.

What a wonderful way to support local farmers and local businesses , It's a great meet and great finding great food and friends

I love supporting local businesses, particularly local farms offering organic meat and produce. The food is far superior to any found in our markets and the act of connecting with old friends and making new ones first thing Saturday morning always starts my weekend on a great note. Although I grew up in Ringwood, I feel more connected to my community here than I have in years. Kudos to the folks who made our market happen!

It has great produce, and great prices! And there's always a good cause to support!

Ringwood is a small, country town and the spirit of the farmers' market is a perfect fit. Encouraging residents to shop locally and eat foods grown locally is important. Plus, the market is fun and the food is fresh and delicious.

It has educated me to learn how to be green, how to eat local and how to connect to my neighbors. It is fun and we never miss a Saturday. I learn something about our environment and community every week.

It's a great place to start off your Saturday morning !!! Fresh locally grown foods with great prices. And everyone is so nice. Awesome job to the people that made this happen in town and have kept it going.

I love the Farmer's market because it brings the community together. I see people that I love getting caught up with and havn't seen in years. It provides some interesting new products that I would otherwise not have noticed. It also provides fresh produce which every diet needs more of.

Nothing could be better then to eat the freshest food grown locally. No matter what part of Ringwood you live in, we can all come together at the market to buy delicious food, have a cup of coffee or listen to some music. I love it!

I always try to support the "local" business person, but the Farmer's Market also provides superior quality food and plants which the kids even enjoy picking out and eating.

It is such a great place that supports our local farmers. We live in such a great town that thrives on outdoor living and wellness. The farmer's market reflects this lifestyle. I love that we have this in our town!

I love eating organic as much as possible! It's also a wonderful place to socialize!

Eating local products is good for the environment and good for the local growers and local businesses! It is a win-win for everyone.

RFM is dedicated to its community in bringing healthy and fresh local foods in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

It's the place to be on Saturday morning; loads of great fruits, vegetables, baked goods and lots of other good things; live entertainment and friendly people.

It's not too big and it has exactly what you're looking for...And the prices are reasonable too! Ringwood doesn't have much, so this is great...and convenient. It's nice to finally not have to travel at least 10 miles to shop.

I love our Farmer's Market. It brings the community together every Saturday with great food, great friends, great music! I love that the food doesn't travel far and most of the prices are really good.

Ringwood has a great variety of vendors - fun to attend - clean... and I love the newsletter. I have been to the one on Route 15 in Laffette Village, as well as Riverdale - those are overpriced, traffic is chaotic and neither is clean. Ringwood has a family & friendly atmosphere - itÂ?s very organized... ItÂ?s worth the extra miles for me to go there from Sparta. I also love the newsletter Â? it always lets me know whatÂ?s new for the coming week.

Love the fresh produce at great prices. Always have to pick up fresh cider donuts, great pizzas, jam, bread, and now fresh ravioli!

The selection of produce, prepared products and artisan items as well as the great community atmosphere and spirit.

Shop & Eat local whenever possible. Our market has a wide variety of vendors and continues to grow. It is the place to be on a Saturday morning.

What could be better than their glorious spinach, arugula, strawberry-rhubarb pie, hot and spicy pickles, great music . . . when they close at the end of the season, I can't wait until they open again.

Go Green... fresh- organic- local- healthy food plus a place for fellowship & community to interact and grow.... all great things about our farmers market!

It is absolutely the best! My family loves this market and cannot wait for it to open and we get so downcast when it closes for the winter. The individuals who launched the RFM concept and the individuals who continue to support this market are outstanding citizens! Thank you so much for introducing such a fabulous venue to my town! We love it and we love you!!!!

There is one large conventional grower, one organic vegetable grower, two flower and plants vendors. There are two orchards who feature seasonal fruit and baked goods. One vendor sells outstanding artisan breads that sell out every week. In addition, there are two caterers who make prepared food from local ingredients. There's a pickle vendor, a locally made frozen pizza guy, and a jam vendor. The market also has a superb selection of grass-fed meat available from two vendors. An artisan coffee roaster offers fair trade organic locally roasted coffee. The market is situated in the town's Park and Ride, so parking is never a problem. It makes for a great family activity since it is adjacent to a large, new playground and a beautiful library. The market hosts weekly free music events between 10-12 and shaded seating is available. Once a month, the market plans some type of event featuring local merchants or artisans.
