Like stepping back in time and is sure to please every time you visit! Highly recommended for locals and tourists visiting Woodstock Illinois

The Woodstock Farmer's Market is the best around because it truly supports local farmers and our community. It has grown over the years and now there are vendors all around the Woodstock Square. Also, the music in the park adds to a wonderful morning.

The produce is always very fresh and of good quality. Premade baked goods are delicious, too. We are always greeted by the vendors when we visit on either Tuesday or Saturday. It's also nice to enjoy the fresh air rather than a boxy grocery store.

Everything is displayed so beautifully. The products look so inviting that you just want to take them home. It's been a wonderful summer Saturday just to have them on your Saturday schedule.

The vegetables are so good! specially the Mirai corn!!! The ambience is very special. The entertainment very interesting. The people so friendly. I only wish we had the market twelve months a year!!!

Wonderfully friendly market. Mingle and chat directly with those who grow and raise the food!

Wonderful old country 'feel'; warm atmosphere; beautiful setting in the square; excellent produce and other goods; fair prices and friendly and helpful vendors all add up to an enjoyable experience every time.

The market has wonderful, fresh and interesting produce from local farmers. I love local farmers!

It has a great variety of items and organically grown beef and local honey. It is in the most beautiful town square and also the music that is played gives the feeling of community and old-fashioned small town appeal.

An assortment for everyone! From organic cheese, fresh beautiful produce and free range organic eggs and meats to a vegan food stand...it has it all! Even local plants, flowers and trees to help clean and beautify the environment. All located in the quaint little Woodstock town square, home of the movie Groundhog Day and surrounded by wonderful family owned shops to further help the economy. It is a Blast!

Local farmers and families provide excellent produce and hand crafted items. The village square is the perfect setting to spend a morning with my family and friends. There's always good music and fun for everyone.

The products are wonderful. Including the locally grown and packaged meat, the multiple vegetable and floral stands,and the apron lady (Jen) has adorable matching aprons including those for matching daughter/mother. Of course the historic brick paved square and live music provides a good old country feeling atmosphere is refreshing to the soul.

I like the friendly atmosphere and the chance to get good locally grown produce.

I support the Woodstock Farmers Market because of the locally grown foods that are offered there, the friendly and very helpful people that are selling the foods and excellent and ever increasing variety of foods and other products. It is in a delightful location and the music adds another very enjoyable touch. This Farmers Market has become a true "Event", a place and happening that people want to attend, to be part of. Strolling around the Market I see so many happy people (most of whom are carrying bags of goodies that they have purchased) and often hear a variety of languages as well, as it becomes a "destination". If you want to buy wonderful local food and other things and be around happy people, this is the place to be.

Fresh veggies, beautiful flowers, local wine sampling, homemade goodies, food demonstrations and great music that makes you want to sit back and relax. Did I mention the beautiful square, too. Love it, love it, love it.

The Woodstock Farmers market is fun, with good value and fresh, sustainable produce. the vendors are nice local folk. There is live music and a festive fell there and it is situated on our wonderful town square.

The people take great pride in their products and the hometown feel of our lovely town square can not be beat. I love our farmer's market.

I have purchased great veggies from Woodstock and last year fruit too! Windy Ridge Acres has a nice assortrment of heirloom veggies.

Everything is grown locally. And the harp player last Tuesday, August 25, was unique. Very impressive!

I love the selection of foods, plants, and handmade items. That plus the University of Illinois Extension booth to help solve problems.

I enjoy the fresh produce and other products presented twice a week. It is most enjoyable to learn about the vendors as well. We are fortunate to have the market in our town.

Wonderful music, relaxed, safe, small town atmosphere, delicious food at very good prices bought from very friendly people. We often bring a blanket and picnic on the square.

This market just keeps getting better and better each year! My kids enjoy it, the prices are great, and the produce is wonderful!

Because of the awesome Woodstock Square setting and the friendliness of the vendors.

cute quaint town, nice music, and much of the produce is pesticide free. Friendly vendors also.

great vendors, friendly atmosphere, WONDERFUL variety of heirloom and unusual vegetables.

It's the best market outside of Chicago and the North Shore. It's the only suburban market that requires vendors to grow on their own local property. It also has a great setting in the historic Woodstock Square (as seen in the movie "Groundhog Day". You can imagine watching Bill Murray take a dive off of the Opera House tower while you shop!

The FOOD is GREAT. It's the green thing to do. The vendors are nice. AND we're supporting the local economy

What a perfect, historic setting, w/ friendly vendors, great local produce, even my favorite scones from Le Petit Marche. One of my favorite things of the summer!

Great produce locally grown, and great music. It is a Saturday morning destination. It's a wonderfull opportunity to meet your friends, shop, listen to music and have a cup of coffee

The community spirit and the quality of the products are the reasons I love the Woodstock Farmer's Market for fresh produce and getting to know neighbors!

Fresh home grown produce, hand made products, friendly vendors, good music, beautiful surroundings!

It is evident that all of the vendors are committed to providing us with a fantastic market. Their products are diverse and of the highest quality.

Easily the best market in northern Illinois. Charming square, great vendors, friendly faces, small town right off the Metra line to Chicago. Well worth the visit.

It is one of the only locally grown (non-shipper) markets in our area, in other words, the farmers grow all of the produce they sell and do not buy it from elsewhere. That is an incredibly important point of difference for the Woodstock market...one that a lot of people who go to other markets may not be aware of.

Wonderful local produce, friendly people, great prices; fantastic atmosphere on the historic square!

the atmosphere on the local square, music, friendliness & the variety of food available

They have the best local produce and plants! I can always find a wide assortment of organic produce at great prices. What could be better?

Wide variety of vendors and products, fresh organic produce, great cheese (when you get there in time to buy it)

Creates an atmosphere of healthy minded people in a healthy minded community. The Market is a win-win for everyone!

I love that we are supporting Local families and farms. There are so many great stands with wonderful products... better than you can buy in any store.

The Woodstock Farmers market is a wonderful experience where you can enjoy all the local vendors, get a nice cup of coffee or gelato, and breathe in all the sights and sounds of a local culture.

The variety of produce and local producets are wonderful. There is everyhtinh there from honey to hand knit hats! The people at the stands are friendly and helpful.

I grew up in Woodstock, and I truly miss my home town and the picturesque square. It is so nice to come home for a visit and enjoy the farmer's market with all the wonderful products and people, it is something that most folks in our country have never experienced. I do support the Woodstock FarmerÂ?s Market, and I wish this project all the best!

They have most anything you can get at a Farmers Market and most of the vendors are very friendly.

This is a true farmers' market featuring the best and freshest local groan produce and food. Set on picturesque Woodstock Square in the shadows of a domed 19th Century Court House and the imposing bell tower of the Woodstock Opera house, a visit to the market is a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds. Vendors are friendly, tasty food is available, and there is frequently music from Woodstock's lively folk scene. Although many near-by towns now also have farmers' markets, the Woodstock Market attracts not just loyal locals but a regional following. On some summer mornings it might count as a tourist destination for the growing number of folks who come to town for its unique charm.

I love that we are a producers market. Everything is grown or made by our vendors. The variety is amazing and the vendors truly work together to make this an excellent source for our community.

They have an awesome variety of organic veggies, wine and even organic beef! Not to mention the prettiest setting in the county! Woodstock ROCKS!

Great variety of vendors, healthy & delicious home-grown selections of foods! Well-organized, fair prices.

The Woodstock Farmer's market has the best fresh produce and perennial plants. I also like the arts and crafts. I support this farmers market because these are all local vendors.

I like the variety of items and produce. I always enjoy getting fresh, cut flowers from them.

They have a wide variety of locally produced stuff and are VERY friendly. Eight varieties of organic garlic! We get live music as well! Plus the Square is a great location.

The location in the Square and the variety of other things to see and do. I take my grandkids every Sat.

Best local market in the area - great produce, food items, information and music. The square makes it unique because it provides additional shopping/dining opportunities from the surrounding stores and restaurants. The entire package is warm, welcoming, and full of creative possibilies.

The produce including large organic selections are great. There is organic meat, flowers, and plants. The town square is one of the most beautiful in the country, with many of the stores joining in with sidewalk sales. There are always local musicians performing on the stage. It's always a great event and makes the other nearby farmers markets pale by comparison. I vote for Woodstock.

I love the variety of vendors present each week. I find I buy my week's produce there as well as cheese, baked goods, and the occassional plant for our garden. The location is only 10 minutes from my house which makes it an easy trip on a Saturday morning.

For the wonderful selection of products they offer. All of these products are of great quality and the vendors are extremely friendly and helpful.

We all need to incorporate fresh produce in our diet. What better way than to shop your local farmers market! Woodstock has a large assortment of produce, plus you are supporting local farmers!

This is the most wonderful farmers' market. As a resident of Woodstock I have had the pleasure of going to this market for years and it just keeps getting better and better. Many of the growers even use organic methods and all of the produce is high quality. The market board is committed to keeping this a farmer centered market while still allowing other vendors in the park to add variety. You can even buy a handmade apron there. You can't get better meat than Willow Lea it feels good to know how well the animals are being cared for. I am looking forward to the fresh tomatoes and eggplant that should be coming soon and for Nancy's garlic to dry so that I can buy one of the braids. There are even samples. The local farmers' co-op cheese is great and you can follow it with a sample of local wine. It's wonderful to get to know the farmers who grow your food. We are so fortunate to have an authentic farmers' market. We may have to wait until the tomatoes ripen in McHenry County, but it's worth it. By the way, don't miss out on the homemade hummus at Expressly Leslie it's amazing!

Fresh and healthy food. My friend Erika works there, and turned me on to all the unique products that are available. I love the music too.

Woodstock Farmer's Market has excellent local, natural foods in abundance in a picture perfect setting on the Historic Woodstock Square. Twice a week we get to enjoy quality food at a reasonable price in an atmosphere of music, family, neighbors and fun!

It is great to buy locally. I love the country atmosphere on the Square, buying the fresh produce, listening to great music, and meeting friends doing the same.

It is a great place to support small farmers and get fresh, locally grown produce It is also a place to hear talented local musicians and to experience the Historic Woodstock Square.

Woodstock Farmer's market is one of the fantastic resources our area has to offer. I want to buy local, I want to buy fresh. They make it possible by giving us two days to buy our produce. Not to mention the music and variety of vendors selling their wares. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is good, the amount and variety of produce available for purchase is excellent.

The atmosphere, the people, the goodies. Woodstock has the whole shubang! Sit on the benches in the middle and watch the energy of families deciding to dance to some song that grabs their boogie. The pace of how people stroll the market will get you. It'a a memory maker.

There's fresh, home-made, wonderful product, friendly folks, great music on the gazebo and I love to support local small businesses!

Market on the square is lovely, and offers LOTS of great produce, cheese and meat. Plus, my son got a great haircut at the barber on the square!

The Woodstock Farmers Market is an outstanding biweekly EVENTconsisting of high quality live music and a wide variety of vendors providing locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, a variety of hand made items all in a beautiful park atmosphere. This market has become the county-wide meeting spot to socialize, shop, play, and enjoy fine music (on a superb sound system) in the the beautiful Woodstock Square and park. You must come to experience the special ambience yourself. Bring the entire family. You'll be glad you did.

all the vendors actually grow the produce or produce the products they sell. You don't have to worry about where the produce comes from and you can actually talk to the person that grew the veggies you eat.

They have great selection of produce and are always helpful and friendly. I can always find what I am craving.

The Woodstock Farmers Market is a well-organized roup of prfe which brings visitors to the Square for locally-grown produce and flowers, offers specialty services and food and provides wonderful live music for all visitors to the Square to enjoy. It is definitely a major attraction, adding vitality and and another dimension to the offering on the Square.

I travel to Woodstock for the farmers market because of the organic produce, the quality of products, the wonderful,helpful people and the charm of the square.

It is great local produce and products, an incredible setting, music and friends. I always see friends at the Woodstock Farmers Market, get tasty things to eat and have a wonderful time!

It's near my home, I can walk there, I perform music there and so do my friends. And many of the vendors are my friends.

A delightful ambiance, all product is produced by the farmers themselves, wonderful music each week, a friendly group of people, around the charming Woodstock Square...pretty much perfection!

I appreciate the opportunity to support our local farmers and neighbors who provide us fresh produce including organically grown and other exceptional products. I also get to enjoy the ambience of our town square, a refreshing step back in time.

The vendors are excellent and the live music every Thursday and Saturday is the best in the area.

Great produce, friendly people and I love the small town feel of the Woodstock Square.

It's an amazing market with a heart for serving the local community. The vendors make you feel welcome and work their fingers to the bone providing this beneficial opportunity to give locally.

It is a great source of local produce and helps create the wonderful "community" feel to the county. It serves as a gathering point for friends and helps local business.

I have been shopping the Woodstock Farmers Market for years and have been so pleased to see the growth and diversity of the products available! It is a great place to shop, meet up with family and friends and enjoy our beautiful Woodstock Square!

Wonderful setting; friendly sellers and customers! Delicious and unusual items to be found, with a variety next to none. Five Stars!

In addition to the support to buy locally, this market has an abience second to none. In addition to the helful vendors, there is a booth manned by Master Gardeners to answer questions visitors might have.

The products are great and the market is such a nice addition to the square, especially on Saturdays, when many people are able to come and bring their entire families.

Great Vendors who are knowledgeable on their products. Beautiful location. I believe strongly in supporting our local community with home-grown products. I feel these are safe products for consumption.

I try and support all local businesses whenever possible. This farmer's market is a friendly meeting place to wander around and listen to live music by local musicians.

great products, lovely people who share information with enthusiasm and care. Attendance includes local businesses who use local products in restaurants, shops etc.

Excellent location, beautiful setting, high quality vendors who take pride in their produce!

Mainly because many are my neighbors and I feel guaranteed of their quality and care in bringing the best to our market!!

As a vendor there, I believe Wooodstock Farmers Market is the true meaning of a farmers market.

Great assortment of fresh vegetables, herbs, antibiotic-free and hormone free beef, fresh flowers, wine, and more!

Unlike other markets that allow reselling, this market offers only fresh, local food. I love the wide variety of produce available, and have tried veges I never heard of before! The beef is wonderful too. The vendors are friendly, and answer the many questions I always seem to have.

All the top varieties, plus food for lunch! Vendors are very friendly and helpful!

I just LOVE the Woodstock Farmers Market and rarely miss a Tuesday or Saturday. The vendors set up around the quaint cobblestone square and there is live music during the market hours. I really enjoy the terrific selection of organic and home grown produce, plants and products. I give it two green thumbs up!!!

The fresh produce is great and I like the fact that it is locally grown. The live music is also great.

The locally grown food and flowers are wonderful. Love the music and visiting with friends on the square.

I support all the local vendors. The vegetables and meat taste better and you know where it's coming from. The people are so nice they remember me every summer.

I am a patron of this market and have been for the past 8 or 10 years. The variety of sellers is very good.

Everything and everyone is local! The live music and wine tasting is wonderful!

No junky items are available or allowed in, only locally grown produce and purely handmade items. Also, the small size is great.
