Reviews for: Carolina First Saturday Market

They have a wonderful variety of products and I always find more than enough to keep me happy!

The market has the best fresh locally grown vegetables and products. They are all reasonable priced and very friendly individuals. Going to the farmers market is liking going to an old friends home who has set their table with the best they have to offer. The merchants are always being with pride of their hard work and quailty of product. Everyone is helpful and it is always an adventure with friends.

All the produce is grown with the love and nourishment from the farmers. You can really taste the difference.

Though we can not get to the market at this time being that we reside in Arizona; we do hope that it continues as this is one of the enticements for our eventual move to Greenville.

The location is convenient and beautiful, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious!

It's a fun, convenient way to enjoy the outdoors & shop for groceries at the same time. The variety of vendors & quality of products available are impressive!

I believe it is very important to support local businesses! And the produce is so much tastier than that from the super markets.

Great way to spend a Saturday morning. I love to go and look around and support local farmers and artisans.

The market is a great way to start your Saturday visit downtown. There is something for everyone from the children to the Octogenarians. A Splash of country in the city!

Great fresh produce, seafood and other hand made products. It's great getting the food fresh from the farm and supporting the local farmers. It's a great Saturday event for the whole family!

Lots of organic produce and products. Not just fruit and vegetables, but seafood, pork, chicken, beef and lamb. Fresh pasta, fresh bread. Non-food products such as candles, soap, plants, flowers. And Dog Treats, too!

I just LOVE getting out in the morning on Saturday, and visiting the market to see what the vendors are selling and also hearing a different performer each Saturday. All the people: vendors, performers, and visitors, are always so pleasant, and it just makes for a wonderful morning!

What a great way to bring people downtown and at the same time expose them to local products from the country!

Where else can you get foods most people don't even realize exist, where friends hang out and talk, where colors abound, and where smells draw you and destroy your budget.

Great way to expose our community to what farmers bring to our community and people's well being, in healthy living.

fresh veggies, fruits. great art, crafts. yummy breads, beakfast items. fabulous coffee !!!

I just love Carolina First Saturday Market because of its relaxing, friendly atmosphere. They always have relaxing music and wonderful demonstrations, too. The greater part of the market is local growers, and we make good friends there who support us local growers and artisans. I look forward to seeing our many fans and friends, many of whom we would not have known without the Saturday Market. The market personel are very friendly and helpful to us. We have a booth there, Upstate Locally Grown Market, representing several growers in a cooperative effort and manned by volunteers.

I've gone to Carolina First Saturday Market in Greenville since its infancy almost 10 years ago. It continues to grow, attract unique vendors, and brings a variety of entertainment. Great way to spend a Saturday morning by yourself or with family. You are always bound to see someone you know and its a great way to support local farmers and bring the city together. Greenville wouldn't be the same without it.

It has the best local fresh produce and has great attractions for kids to keep them busy while mom and dad shop.

Excellent! Well organized, friendly vendors, local produce. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning with family and friends.

What a great way to help the planet...support all the local produce and goods right here! It's also a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

The vegetables and fruits are always fresh and the vendors are always friendly and friendly. The hours of operation are very convenient and the location is GREAT!!

Supporting our local farmers is how our nation was created, we didn't ship in our food. We GREW IT OURSELVES! ... get out and shake your local farmers hand, see what they have to offer ... and support them!!

I think it's wonderful to support our local farmers and stimulate the economy in a positive way. I was so very impressed with the market that I told all my friends they should go!

I think this is a FANTASTIC venue for our community! I can do all my produce shopping for the week every Saturday morning. It's a great way to meet up with friends and make new ones. Local farmers have an outlet for their fresh produce and it's a fun summertime weekly event. AWESOME!!!

I'm also into organics and natural foods. It's great to bring things that are healthy to the community. Greenville is all about being "Green"

It is a fun way to spend a Saturday morning. I hate grocery shopping but shopping at the Market is totally fun and different.

THE HOME GROWN FRUITS AND VEGITABLES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD ALONG WITH THE CRAFTERS ON HAND MAKES IT EASY TO DO SOME LIGHT PERSONAL SHOPPING WITH OUT THE HUSTLE & BUSTLE OF SHOPPING MALLS AND CROWDED CHECKOUT LINES......THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET OUT DOORS AND MAKE IT A AFTERNOON FAMILY EVENT AS WELL, AND MEET UP CLOSE & PERSONAL SOME VERY TALENTED PEOPLE.

This market is in the heart of downtown, and is a great draw for the other businesses. The selection is great, with the accent on FRESH!

It's such a pleasure to find such a variety of fresh, quality food, flowers, and more right in the heart of downtown Greenville. The Carolian First Saturday market isn't just a market. It's a happening! It's one more thing that helps make Greenville so special.

Best location *ever* for a market! And the variety of products offered means you'll always find something interesting!

I enjoy spending my money on local farmers and businesses. It is a great atmosphere to take our son. We always leave with some goodies.

Carolina First Saturday Market is a wonderful ongoing event each weekend in our downtown area which draws people outside to enjoy healthier food choices. It also provides a showcase for locally grown produce, artisan cheeses and breads, as well as crafts and other artists.

because they always have the freshest veggies and its rather easy to find whatever it is you need...

The local produce is by far the best around! What better way to spend my Saturday with my family!

I love supporting local growers. Plus there are some awesome bread and pasta products available!

it is a great family thing to do on saturday mornings. the people are all so friendly and the local produce is amazing!

There are lots of diverse vendors and offerings. And having it along Main Street - which is the best place in the city - is great. If I could bring my dog along, it would be perfect!

IT IS WONDERFUL TO GET OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING SUN & FRESH AIR. TO SHARE TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I LOVE SEEING GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES COMING STARTING NEW TRADITIONS WITH THEIR CHILDREN. I SHARE THE TIME WITH MY OWN DAUGHTER AND WE LOVE MEETING EACH OF THE VENDORS. SEEKING OUT THOSE THAT ARE THERE EACH WEEK AND GETTING TO KNOW THE NEW ONES. WE HAVE MADE IT A WEEKLY ADVENTURE WITH COFFEE FROM THE LOCAL COFFEE SHOP, BREAD FROM GREAT HARVEST AND SHRIMP & GRITS FROM SOBY'S. IT IS A GREAT WAY TO START THE DAY!!

I go almost every week for fresh organic produce, fish, meats, pastas and flowers.

I just love the Saturday Market in Greenville, SC. It's a great way to get out and enjoy downtown and help out the local farmers.

Great local produce, great community involvement & brings back the feeling of growing up in a small town where friends & family gather to socialize over morning breakfast!

A great way to support our local farmers and enjoy wholesome, locally grown food.

This is a great time for the citizens of Greenville to come together for great food and fun and to support the local economy!

I love this market, great food and lots of amazing things to see. We never miss it.

This market has great locally-grown, organic, and heirloom vegetable selection. So many of the so-called farmers markets really just have the same stuff you find in the grocery store. The whole point of a farmers market is to find locally grown produce. You can also find fresh pasta and baked good. The live musicians add to the overall ambiance.

cause it's GREAT! I am so grateful for people who can actually grow things! If it were up to me we would starve! :)

fresh top grade vegetables direct from the farmer - how much better does it get than that ?

Being able to enjoy downtown while shopping for locally grown fruits and vegetables is great! My kids love it as much as I do!

Wonderful selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, breads and the coffee is good!!

Always fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, fish, etc. and friendly, friendly people which is what Greenville, SC is kown!!

It's nice to have a clean open farmer's market, not like the old dirty markets that were around when I grew up. Also, I like the fact that everything is local.

THE MARKET HAS A WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE, GREAT PRODUCES OF WHICH ARE LOCAL TO THE AREA OR STATE. YOU GET TO MEET THE PRODUCERS AND HAVE A RAPOR WITH THEM. YOU GET TIPS ON HOW TO COOK OR USE THE PRODUCTS FROM THE PRODUCERS. AND ITS A GREAT MEETING PLACE FOR YOUR FRIENDS.

Local produce and products, dog treats, variety,South Carolina Certified. A great way to spend a Saturday morning.

The people are friendly, the produce is great, and it supports the local economy as well as the environment! I've never had produce that tasted so good!

It is a fun time to buy fresh veggies, visit with new and old friends and enjoy the excitement of the crowd.....

Its just wonderful people in a wonderful place with a wonderful selection of local vendors.

The produce is so fresh. It's great to support our local farmers and to meet them at the Saturday market.

The Carolina First Saturday Market offers a friendly atmosphere with a touch of Southern hospitality and lots of the fresh, organic and locally grown produce from the Upstate. Downtown Greenville SC's market is a perfect fit for our charming, quaint community and regional visitors love it too! People can a chance to get together and support an extremely important aspect of our economy. There really is not a better market in South Carolina or the Southeast!

The market is awesome. I love seeing the fresh local produce in the restaurant where I work.

There have what we ALL need this week and every week. Those who work the market are friendly --- always have a smile -- and so early in the morning. What more can you ask for. There produce and other products make it worth the weekly trip. Thanks Carolina First Saturday Market Jane Potero-Motto

I believe it is important to support local businesses whenever possible. Carolina First Farmers Market makes this easy to do because they provide a great selection of fresh veg, meats and baked goods. Just one more reason GREENVILLE IS GREAT.

it's a great way to support local growers & business....plus the samples ROCK!

There are always wonderful fruits, vegetables, flowers, prepared foods and knowledgeable friendly folks to offer suggestions for recipes and meal ideas. The downtown atmosphere just adds to the friendliness and uniqueness of the market. We look forward to the market every week-end and knowing that we are getting fresh, local produce is definitely a plus!

Great location, fantastic atmosphere, friendly vendors, lots of organic products, and live music.

Our local vendors are showcased and local chefs and other cooking experts share their expertise with buyers. The quality of everything is top notch!

i like supporting the local farmers because they do work hard to get their food to the rest of the state/nation. the fruits, veggies, and other products seem to tast better coming from the farms instead of something that is stored in a warehouse then shipped to stores.

Great variety & selection of vendors. Besides, downtown Greenville is beautiful! It always puts us in a good mood to be downtown.

It's just really fun to walk up and down Main Street and find great produce, etc. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Incredible setup on Main Street Greenville. And the produce from the farmers is the very best!

I really dig what they're doing. There's really nothing like fresh local produce

The tremendous selection and support of the local market here in Greenville is amazing. We provide so much more than your typical market. Local restaurants provide food tastings, area wellness centers showcase class demos. It is an amazing place to be.

The market is a wonderful place to get fresh local produce and meat! It's a great way to start of a Saturday! There is so much variety and everyone is so friendly!

I have been to two of the nation's best, Ithaca, NY, and Berkeley, CA. Greenville's Saturday Market is more impressive.

Farmers markets are an important and fun way to support local farmers, conserve farmland and save barns. Farmers markets are social gatherings and a repast from our hectic lives.

We love hanging out in our beautiful downtown, and the coffee, fresh bread, and fresh, local produce draw us downtown nearly every Saturday morning.

We have a great downtown and this is so convenient to city and rural folks alike and I like to see the city drawing folks in for a change.

We use products from the market at Soby's where we only use the freshest ingredients for our guests!

Not only is the produce and products fresh, the merchants and farmers are so pleasant. They have weekly entertainment and it is a pleasant place to go to start your weekend out.

Love the variety of produce available along with breads and pastas! Downtown has a great vibrancy. Great time to meet up with friends and have a cup of coffee!

We love to take the stroll and talk with the local farmers! What a treat to eat produce that is sooooo fresh!

Great, local fruits and veggies and a good way to see friends on a Saturday morning!

It is an amazing well done affair that gets the entire community involved. Carolina First and the town planers have done a tremendous job of updating the market while maintaining a small town feel. It is a cultural event that can be enjoyed by families everywhere!

fun, good value, friendly vendors, cooler than Columbia, a nice way to spend a Saturday morning!

I support the market for several reason but a primary reason is because the food is local and fresh.

We live there part time, and we absolutely love the Market......It's our favorite! and we love Greenville.

I love strolling down to the Market early on Saturday mornings and seeing what new things we might find.

It is great for the kids because there is so much for them to see and do! Not to mention the amazing vegetables and other merchandise.

I love the really fresh vegetabless and othr natural products! The Saturday Market is a FUN place to take the kids (and even the hubby enjoys going)!

This is a wonderful market with a wide variety of food and natural products. I really enjoy getting to know the farmers that grow the food that I am going to feed my family.

We really need a positive family friendly event during the day and this gets the job done! A great job is done by everyone who participates in this event.

Fresh, fun, friendly vendors - what's not to love! Lots of yummy things to eat, beautiful flowers and plants in the middle of our beautiful city.

The Saturday Market is well run and one of my favorite "events" that happens downtown! Keep it up and thank you for all the wonderful items available.

Our family enjoys getting fresh fruits and veggies from the Farmers Market. Always happy to support our local farmers!

Carolina First Saturday Market brings activity into an already vibrant town. My wife and I moved to Greenville six years ago. Since then, Greenville has gone through a metamophisis. In fact, Greenville has become a model for other cities to emulate. The Saturday Market is one facet which makes Greenville a joy to live in!

How could you not support the Carolina First Saturday Market, they are so many wonderful vendors with great prices and wonderful fresh items....Love it!!
