Reviews for: Lexington Farmers Market

I'd rather buy fresh veggies grown from local farms than the produce shipped across country to the stores that has sat in boxes for who knows how long. Not only are the veggies fresher, most are pesticide free, and it supports a local farm/family.

It is a good place to get fresh fruit and vegetables, and to show my kids that they don't have to live on fast food for it to be good.

Locally grown organic food is best for us and for the earth! The quality of our Farmer's Market produce is excellent and the venders are so very nice and helpful! They have a variety of times and locations that they are available to sell their goods which makes it convenient.

The Lexington Farmers Market combines great fresh produce with a fun atmosphere. It's definitely the place to be seen on Saturday mornings!!

Love the fresh fruit, veggies, cheeses, breads, etc. And the people are the best!!

It is a happening place with music and great fresh foods. It is also a dog friendly place. Fun to go and run into friends.

You cannot beat fresh veggies and fruit from local farmers, plus they have various locales during the week if you miss the Saturday Market. Everyone is friendly and its a great time!

The best part of Lexington is the Saturday Farmer's Market. Folks come from all over the state to bring their wares, the foods they have tended, the rocks they have pulled from the mountains, the treats they have made and baked and brewed and vinted. Better than any of the cheeses, breads, coffee, fruits or vegetables are the people who are handing me the best food in the world that they themselves have tended. I am fed not only in my body from their efforts, but their friendliness feeds my soul as well. Our best asset in Lexington is our personal collections of the farmers who feed us.

It's the place to be on Saturday morning in Lexington! Local food. Great people. :)

Great location to purchase fresh locally grown food, meeting friends and buying unusual gifts.

The Lexington Farmers Market is well run, well organized and provides Lexingtonians with a wide variety of locally grown produce and dairy products.

Great network of conscientious farmers, small-plot growers, and natural health enthusiasts who work to bring healthy alternatives to the general public

Lexington Farmers Market is, at its core, colorful, nurturing, creative, intentional community. It supports so many farmers and feeds so many families for miles around, including where I am all the way out in Madison County.

Great fresh locally grown and organic produce, locally raised meat, poultry and eggs, wonderful atmosphere downtown with musicians playing -- what's not to like???

The Lexington Farmers Market continually provides us with fresh, local ingredients year after year. It is always an enjoyable experience attending the market, and you come away satisfied every time.

I love the farmers market because it is so much more than a market. It is an event!

I love the Farmers Market. There is a wonderful atmosphere and everyone feels welcome. The produce is wonderful and there is a great deal to choose from. Food form the market tastes so much better than from the store. I love the specialty items such as soaps and cheeses, and there is quite the selection on that as well. I really enjoy being able to support my local economy and the opportunity to buy from people who use sustainable practices.

As long as there is a farmer's market, there is no need for me to plant a garden.

They provide me with fresh produce for a stir fry that lasts all week! Healthy eating on a college student's budget!

debit to cash onsite, anyone welcome to perform music, great variety of sellers from KY

To support the community farmers with their wide variety of fresh, local and seasonal foods. The atmosphere of local musicians and historical downtown setting is wonderful.

The vendors at the Lexington Farmers Market have created such an inviting atmosphere. Their products are superior and they offer so much infomation about thier products/produce. We have especially enjoyed Gail Keam and her delicious honey.

I support the Lex Farm Market because the vendors are always helpful, courteous, and the quality is top grade! I have yet to purchase something that was not top of the line quality healthy food.

It's important to support local farms, local families and all the mouths it feeds! It teaches our kids the importance of nutrition, what they can do to help themselves as well as other families, and the impact it makes on their community. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and hopeful. It encourages a positive environment!

They are so much more than just "produce." You could spend hours there--shopping, smelling, eating, being entertained. It's hands-down the best in the nation. Give 'em that money!

Kentucky Proud! Kentucky Pride! The very finest vendors. It's all there, with awesome selections of veggies, fruits, handcrafted items, baked goods, even entertainment. You should go! You'll love it!

I have been to farmers Market's in Kentucky, South Carolina, and Virginia. There is none better then Lexington for selection and knowledge. I know where I can go to get the best peaches, tomatoes, cantelope, and yellow watermelon! They have so much to offer.

I support the Lexington Farmers Market because not only does it highlight one of the Bluegrass Region's greatest assets, its dedicated farming community, but it gives downtown Lexington a heightened sense of place. The Lexington market, particularly in its new location, brings Lexingtonians together, makes newcomers feel like they are immediately welcomed, and encourages people to venture downtown for other events as well. A special nod to my favorite Lexington Farmers Market vendor -- Paw Prints Bakery!

Great produce, tasty fresh cooked breakfast and lunch, and the best homemade dog treats in the state.

Lots of great choices, great meal ideas and great friends! Thank you Lexington Farmers market!

Great prices, great veggies, wonderful venders, and in general a fun way to spend the morning.

Love the fresh produce. Love the vendors, always so helpful and friendly. So much to choose from and great prices.

Wide variety of items, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent source of fresh food items

I have supported the Farmers Market for 20 years -- starting when I lived downtown. I loved the ability to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers who worked so hard to produce them. Downtown Lexington, Kentucky on a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee, my neighbors and their kids and pooches is a great place to be.

Having grown up on a productive family farm in rural Kentucky, I truly enjoy being able to visit with the farmers and enjoy their bountiful produce.

Fresh local produce, its healthier & fresher and better for the environment.

Lexington Farmers Market is an amazing opportunity to eat food that is in season, so you know it isn't subject to hormones or preservatives. Plus it supports the community and tastes delicious.

They have a great variety of produce, organic meat, and wonderful flowers. Great atmosphere!

Great variety, great community feeling, a real showcase for Kentucky's produce. A highlight of my week. Very kid and dog friendly.

Because its in my area where i live.I go there it reminds of food of when i was growing up. I enjoy visiting and taking all the produce i use home to emjoy all week it gives me that little extra proudness i need to thank myslf for staying in the Lexington area thanks guys you do great job to our community

Great food, local, fresh, healthy, supports local farmers, more people should eat this way.

The selection and availability is wonderful. I hate it when the only produce available is at the groceries.

Fantastic produce, great entertainment, friendly providers, incredible location, community building!

They provide a great service to the people of lexington and growers in the bluegrass area.

I've moved to Louisville, but visit the weekend farmers market on a regular basis - great folks to deal with!

Nothing is better than locally grown produce!! I am thankful that there are folks (farmers) out there who are able and willing to supply the rest of us with a choice of home grown vegetables. Thank you Lexington Farmer's Market. Jeff does a wonderful job heading this up for us. Lexington's farmer's market is the BEST!

Garlic, tomatos, corn, olive oil, steaks, sausage, bacon,eggs, cheese, flowers, live plants, fresh bread, grapes, melons, beans, peas, asparagus, honey, dog food, cat treats, dog biscuits, breakfast (if I manage to get there early enough). Pretty much anything I need to eat, they have. And they are just nice people. And the othre customers bring their dogs to the market so it is fun for me and my dog.

The Leaxington Market is the best. I come home with everything from produce,great olive oil,local honey and the best bleugrass chevre.

Once I received the message that if every family in our state would spend just $12 per week @ the local farmer's markets vs. the big box grocery stores, it would increase revenues in the state by over $1billion per season - I knew I had to! The Lexington Farmers Market is so nice, the produce is always fresh, and the people are wonderful!

Saturday mornings at the market are a complete sensory and social overload for me. I see all of my friends that enjoy good food and friends, I savor all of the smells from all of the farmers and vendors, I could dance to all of the music from each performer and i go home broke but happy knowing that my family and I will be enjoying the very best of the season and it all came from the Lexington Farmers Market. thank you

There's no better feeling than taking home a sack full of Lexington's beautiful, fresh and local produce!

They have amazing food, locally-grown, at amazing prices. The farmers are also very helpful and friendly. What more can I say, they're great!

It is wonderful having fresh fruit and vegetables this time of year. The farmers are always pleasant and friendly.

Wonderful people and market. Have been going for years and could not be without them!!

Whats not to love about supplementing your own garden with people that care about what they grow as much as you do.

Because I've been a customer for at least a decade and love the fresh fruits and veggies..especially the wild blackberries!

I like buying local...supporting local business vs big agribusiness...I like reduced cost/impact of transportation...seeing the faces of the people who grow the food...eating healthy...seeing the varied people who frequent the market...and knowing that people care about what I put in my mouth even if they don't know me.

We love the Farmer's Market. It is one of our favorite family rituals on warm saturday mornings. We live three blocks away and want to support local farmers and Downtown. We are very grateful for their hard work and fine produce.

It is the very best produce and other home grown things that you either can't find at Kroger's or it's too pricey! The vendors are a great source of info and help!!

What better way to get fresh, local produce than in the heart of Downtown Lexington. Several days a week, the Lexington Farmers Market provides an opportunity for everyone to come together, support the LOCAL farmers, and get a tasty, healthy treat!

A farmers' market takes me back to my childhood .... where my great grandfather taught me how healthy it was to eat fresh produce, support the local farmer and get there early while everything is crisp. I went every Saturday with him back then in my hometown and I continue that tradition in Lexington.

It's like a festival every weekend! Delicious locally grown vegetables, beautiful fresh flowers, yummy honey, spices, homemade breads and candy ... you name it and you can find it. I'm Kentucky Proud!

Grew up in a farm in Berea, KY- worked at the Farmers market there, have first hand experience in how vital and important supporting local farmers is- also most of my family have been in the farming industry for generations- a farmers job is important!

I trust that I am getting the best food available. My parents have a large garden in NH and I know no food tastes better than locally grown!

Lexington Farmers Market is a great expression of the best of the Lexington community. Farmers connect with suburban and downtown folks,along with entertainers, kids and masses of beloved dogs out on parade. Each market, but especially the Saturday and Sunday markets, offer festive and warm experiences, not to mention great local produce, meats, eggs, baked goods and other great local comestibles available.

It is the best things happening in Lexington. This is the best place to see people in this suburban town.

Lots of Kentucky grown products. A market in convenient places almost every day of the week.

Excellent products...friendly people.....like to support our farmers....just a great market!

Excellent, tasty, healthy food, farmers who work very hard to produce it and bring it to us! My children eat more healthy food and get to try new vegetables.

compaired to the farmers market in Greenville,SC the farmers market in Lexington is a jewel

Some of the best produce in the world comes from Kentucky. This market in particular has an amazing selection and amount to choose from. Even though I live in New Mexico now (and actually work for a farm here!), I believe strongly in supporting Kentucky farmers, which is why I'd like to see this market win the award.

I feel so fortunate that we have delicious, organic home-grown vegetables so readily available to us. I want to acknowledge all of the folks at the Lexington Farmer's market that have deligently worked to keep this alive. Thank you.

I love the many varieties of fresh fruits and veggies, especially the organic ones.

Going to the Farmer's Market is a great way to spend an early Saturday morning. It gets you up early, gives you a head start on menu planning, get great veggies, meet a multitude of friendly characters, get to open your world to new tastes & ideas, and walking around is great exercise! What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful KY Saturday morning!

amazing selection and variety sold by helpful, knowledgeable farmers. i try to stock up at least once a week! i love cooking with such fresh, beautiful ingredients!

The Lexington Farmers Market is so much fun to visit. The vendors are friendly and helpful and the shopping is great! I look forward to my visit every week and try hard to never miss it!

Fantastic fruits and vegetables for a summer filled with healthy goodness sold by wonderful families

Wide variety of fresh, locally grown produce, plants, flowers and products. Friendly farmers and producers. Great atmosphere.

The products are great, but the people are even better. I love the weekly emails and the sense of community. Best of all, I like taking my son to see where real food comes from.

I *love* all the fresh local products...especially when someone else cooks them up and I can eat...right there at the market!

The Lexington Farmer's Market has been a consistent part of the community. The members have worked through the issues to make them a stable contributor to the quality of life in Lexington.

I love going to the farmer's market. There is a huge varity of great food and great people. I love being able to try different products that are made right here in Kentucky. They are all wonderful people!!!

i was the founder of it while mayor of lexington in 1980, and it keeps getting better each year! i never miss if i am in town, it is a true happerning downtown.

IT's great produce, and it supports our hard working and proud farmers. Plus they are great people.

I love how you can get honest fresh products from super sweet people who grow what they love for a great price.

We need to support our local farmers and at the same time supply our families with fresh healthy food. Too many family farms have been sub-divided into residential sites. These are hard times for everyone but it seems our farmers have been hit extremely hard. This is a small thing we can do to support them and a very smart thing we can do for our family.

I believe in our local farm growers and I believe in supporting our own. We have a very proud and loyal city it seems that support our farmers as well. It is very important that we stand beside those that provide for us in our own community instead of reaching out to other places. For those who have not been to Farmers Market you don't know what your missing. You can't beat the freshness! :)

Outstanding product, farmer commitment, great civic atmosphere, and best place to see/be seen while pickin' up your green.

It has a huge variety of foods available, including some prepared foods. The entertainment is most enjoyable, and all the people are friendly. I especially like that I am buying from local people.

There is nothing better than fresh fruit and veggies and no place better to get them than at the Lexington Farmers Market!

The freshest, tastiest, healthiest food at great price. Plus it supports local workers and lowers our carbon footprint.

They are a hard working group! They need all of the support they can get from everyone. I also like the information and knowledge that the farmers give out, specifically the Honey Lady!!

I love everything about the market. Fresh veggies, fruit, flowers, cheese, wine....everything.

I love the locally grown fresh produce and flowers. Farmers take the time to answer questions and introduce people to new foods. It's a great market.

The quality of the food is top notch and the farmers are friendly and helpful. On Saturday morning the atmosphere is almost carnival like with music and delicious free samples. It's a great experience, I am very proud of our farmers market and I always highly recommend it to my friends.

The farmers and vendors at the Lexington Farmers Market have introduced me and others to a wide variety of outstanding produce and meats, while making it possible to completely avoid the mainstream grocery stores (particularly their produce sections) during the majority of the growing season. The growers who come to Lexington are knowledgeable, friendly, and provide the opportunity to purchase nutritious, beautiful food five times a week!

I started going to this market when I was going to UK in the 90's. My parents moved to Lexington about 10 yrs ago. I introduced them to the market and they've been going ever since. Even though I've been living in a different city for the past 6 years, I always make several trips to the Lexington Farmer's market because of my relationship with the farmers there, and the quality of produce.

Every year Lexington, KY's farmer market grows and shows greater dedication to promoting high quality local foods. I've moved away from Lexington in recent years, but still often make the 45 minute drive on Saturdays or Sundays to stock up on fresh goodies. Lexington's Farmers Market is providing an outstanding example for other Kentucky towns just getting in on the farmers market game!

Children don't learn because of what we say, but rather what they see us do. Families that bring their children and even the family dog to the Farmers Market each week, are teaching lessons that will last a lifetime. Lessons about caring where your familiy's food comes from, about commerce, about community and the things that make Lexington such a special place to live. Class will be in session again this weekend!

All the best local produce, cheese, and honey in one place. Look forward to going every week!
