Reviews for: Farmers' Market at the Williamsville Mill

As last review stated there is a lack of veggies, it does pick up by the end of the season, at least it did last year. Green Heron growers came mid season and they are amazing. Worth checking out for sure but early on you wont find much produce. Here are the things you must check out: 1. Start by getting coffee from Kornerstone amazing selection of fair trade priced fairly and seriously I spent all winter trying to find a roaster as good as this chick...it did not happen!!! Some of the best coffee I have ever had. 2. Carla's creations- she makes the most amazing ginger cookies, pretty sure they are vegan and gluten free, dont let the price discourage you her stuff is worth every penny. 3. Flower guy- I wish I knew the name of his place he is in the corner by the lady who sells cut flowers and the guy who sells cold coffee mixes. Very nice man and knowledgeable, great selection has new stuff every week! 4. Meat kid- again cant remember the name (real helpful right?) He sits up as you walk up mill street same side as farmers and artisans. he sits with a little grill and gives out samples of their meat. We got the chicken sausage it was AMAZING! Please do yourself a favor and buy meat from the meat kid! 5. Farmers and Artisans- just check it out the owner is very passionate about local food and everything in his store is awesome 6. Green Heron growers- I didnt see them last time I went, but they may not come every week. They seem like amazing people that know there stuff and clearly care about what they do. They have meat, mushrooms and veggies, I believe they are organic. 7. Becker Farms have amazing pies made by ladies in their 80's from scratch, no pie press, fruit from the farm, also worth every penny. Their wine is good and the fruit wine is made from the fruit they grow which is pretty cool!

Honorable mention: there are 2 soap ladies that alternate weekends both are nice. I like the lady who uses less frills and packaging she sells natural bug spray and other, but they both have nice soaps.

We make a point to travel to different Farmer's Markets every weekend to scope out the scene. We also belong to a CSA and purchase pastured meats and poultry from local farms so we are not strangers to eating well or sustainable agriculture.

This market seems to focus heavily on "finished goods" such as cheeses, baked goods, services, soaps, etc, and less on food. The SPCA was even there with 3 young kittens in a pop-up tent. There were 2 vegetable stands and only 1 of them was purchase-worthy and just barely.

My biggest annoyance about our visit was when I stopped to ask the only woman with cherries if her fruit was "low spray" or "no spray". She proceeded to give me a lecture about how "all farmers are low spray" (NOT true) and tried to convince me that pesticides were a wonderful creation. Her cherries were the worst ones we've had all summer.

We make the drive out to East Aurora for the market in the Tops plaza and will continue to rely on the vendors there in addition to scoping out different markets, but we won't be going back to this one.

I have enjoyed the market. Does anyone know the name of the restaurant who sells the hot pepper dip at the market? I need to get some more this week.

This is a great market. Slow to start in the early part of the season, but that is when you can really talk to the farmers and producers. Later in the season it's very busy. Also a great place to meet the neighbors over a fresh hot coffee. Everyone seems to be there during the market day. Check out the Williamsville Farmers' Market Cookbook produced by the market vendors and volunteers. It's a cook's treasure. Most of the recipes feature at least one or two of the products offered by the market sellers. Great little gift for only $10, with all proceeds supporting the market. And the kid's activities and live music every week only add to the charm. Pick up a schedule at the information tent located in the center of the market.

Great atmosphere in a historic setting; fun place to meet neighbors and friends; excellent produce and baked goods with opportunity to support local vendors!

I had my first visit to the Farmers' Market at the Williamsville Mill this past Saturday morning. It was POURING rain, to the point where if you were standing in the wrong place at the edge of one of the vendors' white tents, you might get a river dumped on you when the tent edge couldn't hold any more water! Nevertheless, spirits were high. I found there to be a nice range of vendors... fruits, vegetables, breads, pastas, baked goods, chocolates, soaps, flowers and potted plants, etc. I would have loved to see many, many more vendors, though. You can basically shop the whole market in less than a half-hour. And, as many others have said, the historic mill needs to become more a part of this market, not just a landmark. I will definitely go back and hope to see more activity there on a day with sunnier weather!

It's such a wonderful place and time to go to on a Saturday. I would love to see it expand and possibly incorporate the Mill - a wonderful historical building.

Not only is the produce all locally grown and the best available in the area, but the people that run the market and work there have created an incredible community atmosphere - you feel like you are with family having a celebration when you go to shop there. There is also live entertainment each weekend - locally grown and excellent just like the produce!

Started by 2 local women, the farmer's market is not only a great place to get fresh fruit and vegatables, it's a great place to socialize! My kids love the crafts that they can do at the market as well.

I love all the fresh produce, flowers and baked goods that are for sale. Everything is garden fresh and top quality. It is also a great place for charitable groups to pass out info about their organization.

The couple that started the market, did it to create a community where good and healthy food could be found and enjoyed. It takes advantage of a historic structure in the Village of Williamsville that has often been overlooked.

We really enjoy going to the Williamsville farmers' market. It is very quaint and has everything we are looking for. It is an open air market and they usually have a live band. It's a little on the small side but we love that - again it has everything you need and more. It's not too busy and it's super easy to get in and out.
