Reviews for: Greenbelt Farmers Market

Delicious, fresh produce, bison, goat cheese and home-made ice cream: who could ask for more?

Because it rocks! excellent quality fruit and veggies, sweet coffee and ice cream, and greatest of all, Goat products (meat, AND cheese), and Bison vendor. It's awesome. It's also right in the center of old greenbelt, every sunday, so come on over!

A wonderful mix of vendors offering fresh local produce, flowers, eggs, meats, cheeses, coffee and even homemade ice cream!! The best market in the area, great to visit with my family after church every Sunday. Vendors remember us and make recommendations on how to prepare and what to get now before it's out of season.

I love walking to the market, interacting with people, and getting wonderful produce (including cheese and meat for my non-vegetairan bf). It is wonderful to be able to participate in a model of production and consumption that is sustainable.

It provides a wonderful way to strengthen our community, to visit with neighbors, and provide us with fabulous, fresh local produce while supporting local farmers.

The farmers are great educators as well as farmers. I have learned so much about how my food is grown, and this knowledge increases my satisfaction with the food!

The produce is great. The vendors are friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. Supporting local farmers is important. The setting is well organized and the time is perfect.

I think it is important to support your local farming community and the choices offered by the vendors are wonderful.

I love the food I get from the market, but more than that I love the atmosphere of my small town (after church) I see tons of people...beautiful community time.

It's well organized and the vendors are great. Produce, eggs and meat are great also. It's alot of fun and I get a chance to see neighbors I might not otherwise see.

I love this market because they have responded to customer suggestions, use only local goods, have a good variety, and it is close with easy parking

Awesome farmers market - all local farms and an extensive offering of produce, bakery goods, meats, eggs, plants, herbs, cheeses, coffee, honey and more. Fun activities for the kids, and the staff is so helpful and offer a great weekly newsletter chock full of information and recipes for produce in season.

The Greenbelt Farmers Market has everything we could want - so many vendors to choose from, all local and the farmers are there so full of passion and knowledge about their produce or product. It's a great experience I recommend for anyone on a Sunday morning.

It gives me opportunity to try greens that I normally would not buy in the store. The produce grown locally tastes much better than those subjected to long-distance shipping!

Our family loves the Greenbelt Farmers Market. Great quality, family fun, and great prices!

Besides the quality of the food, being locally produced by farmers who are always willing to talk about their methods of farming and their produce, the Farmers Market has become a great place to meet the neighbors from 3 blocks away. Truly a gem of a community event

We support the Greenbelt Farmers Market because of its true commitment to local products.

Despite being so new (2years), the Greenbelt Farmers Market has attracting some outstanding vendors. The board has done an excellent job with what little they must have.

My farmers market is in its second season and has a great selection of vendors and community groups who come out each Sunday. I volunteer and shop there almost every week.

It has a wide variety, excellent vendors, strictly local, well-run organization, and supplies all of my produce, meat, eggs, and cheese every week! And delicious coffee and ice-cream. Musicians often join the fun as well, busking for the crowds, and there are activities for kids and community booths.

Kind and hospitable vendors. Smiling faces every where. Fresh, local food and products. A place to say hello to your neighbors. I love it!

Their vendors bring really fresh, high-quality food and are friendly and knowledgeable.

They have a great selection of vendors and they really keep to being a producer only market

There is a wide variety of products available amid a festive atmosphere of friends and neighbors.

It has fabulous locally grown food that is within walking distance in the heart of our community.

The food is local, therefore better for the environment and sold closer to harvest time for maximum fresh flavor and nutrition than shipped foods. There is wide variety - fruit, veggie, herbs, flowers, cheeses, meats, fish, eggs from happy chickens, bread. Even home-made ice-cream with local ingredients! And if you don't find it at the market, the grocery store is right there, too.

Wonderful produce locally grown. There is also cheese, meat, bread, and plants including herbs being sold. People are friendly. A trip to the Greenbelt Farmers Market is rewarding and enjoyable in many ways.

Local food, less carbon imprint. better prices than Safeway. sometimes organic. lots of variety. community spirit. lots of spirit. The farmers really like us here. We help them sell out every week. They pay attention to what we like and buy. What store does that??

Wonderful meat, delicious cheese, great bread, yummy ice cream and beautiful flowers in addition to the fresh vegetables. Oh yes, and coffee too.

all the vendors come from within 100 miles, most are organic, though not necessarily certified as that is very difficult for small farms, the have a very nice mix of fruit, vegetables, meats, fish, cheeses, bread and even ice cream, AND last but not least they have a booth open every week for a community non-profit to spread the word about their organization and what they are trying to accomplish. I also belong to a CSA that delivers to my area on Thursday, and with the market on Sunday it keeps me in free organic produce all the time.

It has dairy (goat cheese and ice cream), grains (fantastic breads and pastries), vegetables and fruits(too many to mention), and protein (meat, fish and eggs). Along with plants to decorate your home indoors and out.

It's the best place to visit with my neighbors while I shop local, have an ice coffee from Zeke's and buy and ice cream for Mary Alyce! And there is always something new - like the goat cheese!

They are serious about the local rule, and consumers know that the food is locally grown. There is also a variety--including meat and fish in addition to produce!

It's hyper local, just steps from my house. All of the farmers are friendly, helpful, and offer great food. My current favorites are Danny Rohrer and Zekes!

It has wonderful food and is great social event. Our daughter loves the homemade ice cream.

The Greenbelt Farmer's Market is great - has the best selection of produce and breads and I love the goat cheese vendors

It's wonderful and gets better each year! So appropriate that this historic city, built on a plan of interconnecting walkways, has a market I can walk to. Also appropriate is the sense of community -something that Greenbelt has retained from its early days. It's fun to talk to the local growers and great to get fresh produce every week. Barbara

Great variety, and the staff that runs the market is so friendly and helpful. Wonderful atmosphere.

I look forward to Sunday mornings because of the Greenbelt Farmer's Market. There is a great variety of farmers - produce, coffee, bread, cheeses, honey, meats, plants, ice cream and more! Live music to entertain, activities for the kids and a great way to connect with my neighbors!

It is the only sustainable way to farm. Factory farming and monocultures give rise to unsustainable conditions for both plants and animals and become health risks in the long term.

Although its only in its second year, the Greenbelt Farmers Market is lively and local, with a variety of fruits, vegetables, cheese ( 3 purveyors of goat cheese this year ! ) and bread. The volunteer organizers have done a great job.

The market is my Sunday treat. I love the variety and freshness of the products. Interacting with the vendors and learning about their products, the recipies they share, how their products are grown, etc. makes me appreciate the market even more.

We love the community, the food, and the people who work so hard to bring it to us. Thank you!

Great variety including organic produce and meats and convenient location and time.

I look forward to the Greenbelt Farmer's Market every Sunday. It's a fun way to get out and interact with the community, while taking home some delicious produce and other goods that support local vendors. We can all stand to live a greener lifestyle and this is one small - and fun - way to do it! I'm also very impressed with the amount and quality of vendors at GFM!

In addition to buying fresh produce, there is a a really good bakery that participates. .I can walk there aas do many other Greenbelters. It is a big social event because Greenbelt is a very social town. The New Deal Cafe is next sotre and we can stop for lunch and a chat before, after, or during the market.

All the produce is fresh--there are organic produce and natural meats-- for a small town we have quite a good variety of cheeses, produce, fruit and other items. This greenbelter loves it

This farmers market not only provides the greater Greenbelt community with access to local, fresh produce, but it has fostered connections between the vendors and local businesses including our grocery store and cafe. The vendors love our community and often remark on the smiling, appreciative faces they encounter each week!

Greenbelt has done a great job in bringing in local farmers and organic farmers as well. They also have educational tables during the summer that always give helpful information. The market is well organized, with emails every week. The vendors are all friendly and full of vital information. And I will always run in to someone I have not seen in awhile....nice!

It is a relatively newcomer. They have a wonderful variety of local fruits and vegetables. It is also very close to where I live and there are lots of good people there.

Producer ONLY, and LOCAL! Farmer's are great, interactive and love the market too!

This is the best market in my area and is within minutes of my house. It has a diverse line of produce, plants, meats, breads and other wonderful items. The vendors are always friendly and helpful. The market is clean and well organized and often has live music to enjoy as you shop. My favorite booth is definitely Zeke's Coffee which has the best fresh roasted coffee in this area.

Wide variety of fruits, vegetables, meat and other goodies, homemade ice cream, often a live musician, friendly vendors and neighbors!

It is near by, well run, with a variety of vendors and products. New addition this year: delicious goat cheese! Guaranteed local. Vendors are very willing to help us cityfolk in how to prepare produce/seafood properly. Extra benefit: a chance to meet many of my neighbors as I browse--and what a great way to spend a lovely summer morning!

In just its second year, community volunteers have built a thriving Greenbelt market with loads of produce, meats, honey, jams, eggs, herbs, ice cream and more. They offer cooking demos, a table for community groups, and a scavenger hunt for the kids. They've made it a real commmunity-building, educational experience each week!

This market has great synergy with related options nearby. For example, the Co op supermarket just next door supports the Farmers' Market. In addition, the produce manager at the Co Op is doing a cooking demonstration at the market. I think there might be a relationship too between the coffee vendor at the Farmer's Market and the coffee served as the nearby New Deal Cafe. WHERE can you go in this area and see that high a level of community vendors interacting with each other in a business sense? Wow. This is great thinking, folks! A win-win for everyone.

Great community based market. Friendly and the excitement it brings to the neighborhood.

I'm in a wheelchair, I have no car, and I can reach it with my little mobility scooter. The food is delicious and very fresh. The Co-op supermarket next door supports them, and I can shop at both in one trip.

Great variety of local produce and products. Great meeting place for the community.

Great market with locally grown produce, meat, cheese, baked goods, flowers, plants. No commercial goods. It is well run, and I always see friends each week. Great to have such an excellent market here in Greenbelt.

Awsime vendors fantastic veggies, flowers, coffee, and goat cheeses! And if I happen to miss it all my favorites are at the local coop the rest of the week.

Extremely convenient, good vendors, right in the middle of town - has become a great place to run into neighbors.

ALL of our vendors are guaranteed local and the prices are reasonable. Plus, I get to see my neighbors!

As a long time resident of Greenbelt, I was thrilled when the Farmer's Market opened last year. I visited it nearly every weekend and was pleased with the diversity of products the vendors offered. I can't wait for the market to open this year!

and I love our other local markets too (Riverdale, Hyattsville). But Greenbelt has great vendors with the best local stuff (and best selection), and fun music and other events. The location is great and the whole thing very well managed.

The Greenbelt Farmers Market is the best thing to happen to this part of the DC Metro area for quite a long time. The market has a great variety of produce vendors, as well as a meat and egg distributor, quality bakery, coffee, ice cream, flowers, crafts and more. There is even live music on occasion.

I am able to find all the food staples for the week, yet am always introduced to something new like an heirloom variety of eggplant or local variety of grape. The vendors are passionate about their product and happy to share their knowledge.

The market staff is great - very friendly and helpful. Well staffed information desk and the market offers great extra curricular activites for patrons such as recipes, a weekly newsletter and an end of the season dinner.

The Greenbelt Farms Market, located in Greenbelt, MD, has a lot to offer. Every time I visited the Market, the products were always well labeled and the help desk was staffed with knowledgeable volunteers.

The produce offerings were always solid. However, the Greenbelt Farmers Market is anything but mundane. Some of the products and farmers varied a little every time I went, and it was great to see a fisher-women one week and an ice-cream maker the next.

The space the Market uses is conveniently located in downtown Greenbelt, has plenty of parking, and additional shopping in the area.

The Greenbelt Farms Market really runs a tight ship, it's amazing that 2008 was their first season. Looking forward to the 2009 season!
