Reviews for: Crystal Lake Farmers Market

their selection of produce and other goods is diverse and excellant quality. It is shopper friendly. Lone Oak Farm produce is the best.

Good variety, friendly people,available parking, I make the trip to the market almost every week

Love the organic selection, from Sue's carrots and garlic, to Nick's pasture-fed eggs!

Great local farmers, great local food, and the best bakery in the area - Le Petit Marche.

In addition to fabulous organic vegetables, from tomatoes to garlic, Nick at the Crystal Lake market has the best eggs from pasture-fed hens that I have ever eaten.

This is a great hometown event that supports our local businesses and farmers - a win-win for everyone!!

They're a fantastic group of farmers and I can also buy organic produce and organic meats!

I've gone to this market for years. The vendors are friendly and I enjoy cooking with wonderful, fresh food. I even freeze what I can to have a taste of summer in the middle of winter.

It's my home town market. I like to buy local and keep my money in my home town supporting my community. It's not the biggest farmer's market, but it's my farmer's market. Thanks.

I have been going for years. They have a wonderful assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, flowers and much more.

Great displays with a large variety. People are friendly not only in the booths but also those walking arround and shopping

There's not a better market in the area and I love to support our local businesses and our downtown district.

Wonderful, nutritious, fresh produce! Beautiful flowers. Great ambiance. What more could you ask for in a Farmer's Market?!

Crystal Lake Farmer's Market is one of the nicest markets I have ever been to. Their vegetables and other products are outstanding.

Always something new. Convenient to my home. Like the idea of the open markets. Good for the community!

It's simply the best Farmer's Market I've been to! The location is perfect! The people are wonderful and the produce and products are amazing. Most importantly it completes our downtown atmosphere!

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Healthy! Healthy! Healthy! It also brings people to the Downtown Crystal Lake shopping area, so it is a good marketing tool.

The best in locally grown friuts, vegetables and herbs. You can't beat sweet corn picked in the morning for lunch or dinner. Very convenient in beautiful downtown Crystal Lake

Not only is it the freshest produce in town, they also have the best meats available, all in the beautiful Depot Park!

I had been getting my fresh fruits and vegetables at the Crystal Lake farmers market for over fifteen years. The setting in the park and the selection made it a must every Saturday morning. I have gone to other markets, but the quality of the produce in Crystal Lake is far superior. I have moved to Colorado, but have been unable to find a market as well stocked and flavorful as the one I remember in the Crystal Lake.

Wonderful event that allows the guests who may have never had a chance to visit Downtown Crystal Lake enjoy an inviting and friendly atmosphere of community.

It is simply the best place for fresh food, friendly people and it's in beautiful downtown Crystal Lake, what could be better!

Great selection of fresh products in a quaint and comfortable atmoshpere with a 'Hometown Feeling'.

GOOD FOOD,GOOD PEOPLE,N GOOD TIMES HAD THERE BY ALL. TOOK MY FREINDS FROM OUT OF STATE THERE N THEY ENJOYED THEMSELVES WITH THE KNOWLEDGABLE FOLKS THAT WORK IT. I SHOP THERE EVERY WEEK FOR LOCAL PRODUCE N LOVE THAT IM KEEPING LOCAL FARMING GOING ! .

Great products exhibited in a perfect location. Seniors can come to the site on the Metra Railway System for free. For locals like me, it is good to shop there while shopping at other Downtown shops.

I bought the best lavender perennials I have ever seen. The produce is very fresh, too.

The Crystal Lake Farmer's Market is great! The produce is fantastic, the people are friendly, and it's bringing new people into our downtown area.

There is wonderful produce and baked goods available at excellent prices, and it's a wonderful opportunity to explore all that the downtown shops offer at leisure.

It's the best farmers market around! Great local produce and nice people. The whole downtown shopping area is great fun!

It's a great downtown area to shop after the market and eat at the local restaurants.

Not only is the food fabulous, but it allows us to support local businesses and farms here in Crystal Lake.

Amazing selection, fresh food, baked goods, smiling people, neighbors, friends, fun!

They have wonderful food grown by local farmers, which helps keep our dependence on foreign oil down(less shipping from other states/countries). I also like to support local businesses and farms.

It's a great market, but also it's a social event. It's great to get a cup of coffee and hang out with the people you see there.

I am a business owner in historic downtown Crystal Lake - the farmer's market is so good that it draws people from all over the area, not just locals.

It is the quintessential market that sits downtown at the base of Main Street just across from the train station. It has a nice variety of goods at very reasonable prices. I always go there when I am back in town!

It is a community based place to get great fresh food items and see a lot of friendly faces!

because it it reminds me of the crystal lake that grew in.a small town with friendly people.

They have brought great Saturday activities to downtown Crystal Lake and the City has continued to come downtown to enjoy and purchase the many good things they offer

Locally grow, good, healthy foods. Fun, can walk to the market and choose fresh food, shop down town, etc.

This is a great event for our historical downtown area. The Farmers Market not only helps promote our home grown products, but it brings commerce and tourist into our town.

It is a great asset to the community! Great selection of products from local providers!

Every week I take my sweet boys, 3 and 1, and we pick out our fruit and veggies for the week. So far our favorite has been the fresh broccoli and sugar snap peas. Yum! I love that my little ones can pick out whatever they want to snack on and I can rest assured that they are eating healthy, locally grown, pestacide-free produce.

Crystal Lake Farmers Market has a good selection of products from local providers. I like the idea of buying produce that has not traveled half way around the world to get to my table.

Because it has a great location - it fits in with my usual marketing and is a great meeting place.

Locally grown or produced is good for all of us. Besides, they have interesting and unusual things as well as more common items.

Organically grown fruit and veggies and flowers/plants 3 times the size of those at Big Box stores or nurseries. Food and plants are healthy, the tax dollars benefit C.L. and small growers are encouraged to continue to participate as customers spread the word to others!

The food is fresh and local. A wide variety of choices are available. Vendors are friendly.

The location of our farmer's market celebrates the city of Crystal Lake and promotes public transportation as well as non-motorized travel. There is nothing better than hopping on my bike Saturday morning and making my way down to the CL Farmer's Market for fresh vegetables and flowers.

My mantra is buy local and you can't get more local than your home town. Great selection and good for the environment!

Because its a great way to get really fresh things and support the people who produce them-also fun and relaxing downtown!

It highlights the downtown area of Crystal Lake and patrons of the market are able to acquire good wholesome items from the vendors.

I advocate buying organic products locally. Helps the environment as well as being health conscious!

I strongly believe in buying locally to support organic farming and efforts to reduce global warming.

Great setting to shop for the freshest produce and other goodies, and to catch up with friends!

We like to spend our "green" locally and what a great place to find food, flowers and see old friends!

Great selection of fresh produce, annuals and perenniels and artisan breads. The new gazebo and new landscaping is BEAUTIFUL!

We love downtown Cl and try to support everything that goes on there. LOVE the variety of choice!

The food is fresh, the location is convienient, and one can visit with old friends and make new friends.

Downtown Crystal Lake is a great place to shop, meet friends, and the variety of products offered at their Farmer's Market is excellent. It also has convenient parking.

The people are super friendly and I love all the different NATURALLY/ORGANICALLY PRODUCED produce!

It is the closest source of organic produce from our local farmers. Crystal Lake is a big town with many box stores and it is great to see the farmer's market display fresh flowers as well as fruits andd veggies. I like to walk outdoors and shop for a change. I go there to support our locals.

What a joy to walk through the little park area next to the trai station, filled with stands of fresh produce, meeting the people who put their love in growing the fruits and veggies. This is the real life! And the real food. I wish for this to continue and to grow! I just bought some strawberies yesterday and the taste was incredible. Like from my mom's or grandma's garden some years back:-). I am voting as a way to say thank you to the farmers for all their dedicated work, for facing the challenges not only of the weather but also the trend in how we produce food these days. They are holding the hope for us, that we can still have a good and fresh quality food to nourish our bodies. Their mission is so important. All of the farmers markets are important, this one is more important for me as it is right at my doorsteps. And I am filled with gratitude!
