I believe that the best food is local and home-grown, especially honey for protection from allergies. And RFM appears to do a good job of running their market and communicating with interested parties. I love their produce and other things along with their friendliness.

Great local fruit and vegetables. What a relief ! Also, a nice way to have interactions with a variety of people interested in similar things like recycling, gardening, and cooking.

I was brought up on fresh vegetables, and it reminds me of my Dads gardens that he used to plant. He always had a fall and winter garden, and a spring and summer garden. I enjoy visiting with the vendors, and seeing what all they have. It is great!

Ruston is a small town and the Farmers' Market has been the best place to run into people you don't see every day and visit and enjoy all the wonderful things the Market has to offer.

We really enjoyed the farmer's market in Williamsburg, VA, while we lived there. We are delighted to have one here in Ruston -- especially since it includes plants, fresh produce, and even made-to-order crepes. It's great!

GREAT to finally have fresh, all local food and other items. The farmers/vendors set it up so well. Much is organic, A wonderful place to come and shop, browse and talk to the vendors and locals. A monumental boost for Ruston.

This market becomes my Saturday morning social. In addition to getting some great local produce, I see and meet new people in my community each time. The organization is top notch.

I love the opportunity to buy local produce that is fresher than what you can get at the local grocer, support local farmers/gardeners, and the overall comraderie of the market. It's great!!

One, I love that you get to connect with other locals at the Market; two, you know that the products you buy there are fresh and high-quality!

I love the Ruston Farmers' Market because I have the chance to ask the growers what I need to know; that usually doesn't work in a store. I want to give local people my money for a fresher product that didn't travel across the nation. It's so much fun to buy purple peppers, white cucumbers, green eggplant, and great eggs.

The produce is outstanding. Prices are good. Variety is absolutely the best. Vendors are helpful and are glad to have me as a customer. It is so wonderful to be able to get fresh, local produce and baked goods. I don't just go to the Ruston Farmers' Market, I experience it.

When you support the RFM, you are helping local people you in turn will support local businesses. You get to see who grew the vegetables and they are able to answer any question you might have about their product.

The Ruston Farmers' Market is a great way to get fresh, locally grown produce. It is much better than anything you can find in a store.

RFM brings us face to face with the growers, allowing us to learn from them and allowing them to understand what we really want. It provides a good outlet for income for our local growers. It's also a fun community gathering space!

People need the option of buying fresh, locally grown food. Not only does fresher produce contain more nutrients, but it is a cost effective. When produce is fresher, it is flavorful and edible for a longer period after purchase. Less spoilage means less waste.

It supports our local farmers to help bring our families fresh, safe and healthy food to our tables. The Ruston market stimulates community interaction amongst its diverse citizens, drawing its scattered members to the heart of the city in order to offer fresh nutrients and a sense of belonging to a city for the people by the people.

It is the best (actually the only) place to get fresh, locally produced food in the area and provides a much needed community service

The only true farmers market in North Louisiana. Other markets in the region allow wholesale reselling of produce from places as far as Florida and Mexico. Only the Ruston Farmers' Market enforces a venue of locally grown produce.
