Reviews for: Codman Square Farmers Market

I support the Codman Square Family Farmers Market becuase it is an easy way for me to support the local economy AND my family's health. You can't beat that!

Amazing community of people and a create market to obtain fresh fruits, vegetables and so much more!!

Because it's important for people who live in urban areas to have easy access to healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables. Neighborhood Farmer's Markets make this possible.

do we really need to explain the need for afordable fruit and vegtables to be avaiable for everyone! how wonderfull that this is there for everyone in dorchester to be able to take advantage of, inmy opinion there should be one on every block, or at least near all of the other business that take advantage of access to make money off of foods that are bad for you.

I support the Codman Farmers' Market because it helps people easily find healthy, local food. Plus, there's nothing like a farmers' market to bring the community together and make grocery errands feel like doing something social!

Because in the shadow of McDonald's we need healthy alternatives and a connection to the growers. What a great model for the kids in the neighborhood.

because it enables community members to have access to fresh and healthy food in a neighborhood that has no decent supermarkets

The Codman Square Farmers Market encourages me and my family to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables that normally I would never buy otherwise .

The Codman Square Farmers Market has such a great impact on Dorchester's community health and community spirit! People can come together with their neighbours while shopping for high quality and nutritious food for themselves and their families.

The Codman Square Farmers Market is an example of a diverse community coming together to share in good food. Young and old work together to promote it and ensure it runs smoothly, and the farmers are cognizant of making sure the produce types and prices are appropriate for the urban, often immigrant, consumers.

The Farmer's Market provides fresh veggies, fruits and bread at reasonable prices which encourages people in the community to eat healthy.

this is a help to the community in many way.. it help people that can not feed their familt to get fresh veg. and fruit at a good price..our communtiy needs all the help that we can get to help our people

My sister usually goes to farmers market, and one year she brought home a weird fruit/vegetable. Little did I know, my sister turned it into a soup and I actually liked it! HOWEVER, I will now monitor my sister incase she puts something crazy again. Otherwise it allowed me to try something new at a great price. I just wish she could have told me before hand...-_-

It's close, affordable and offers a fantastic array of healthy fruits and veggies.

Creating a community where fresh local food is the norm is vital to creating a healthier lifestyle for all.

last year they had the best corn I ever ate. and it is very nice having them outside the clinic for both staff and patients to buy fresh and organic vegs and fruits. they also had fresh baked bread.

Imagine emerging from a congested urban intersection in an economically challenged community and seeing white canopies set up on the sidewalk with fresh organic vegetables, fruits, and flowers bursting forth from underneath them! Imagine this scene repeated every Thursday afternoon for months! Now imagine what this sight means to the thousands of urban households who traverse this intersection and live in a community void of fresh produce. The Codman Square Farmers Market does more than nourish the body...it nourishes the soul of a community!

I support the Codman Square Family Farmers Market simply because they provide fresh locally produced products for the our community.

This market brings people together and provides fresh, organic produce to our community.

It allows me to shop for fruits and vegetables that I know are really fresh. Creates a personal and lasting relationship with the farmers, their families and the community. It also signals for the first time the foods to support a healthy community for all of our residents young and old.

Not only do we get great fruits, veggies, fresh bread and other items, this is an event which brings all of us here who live in the community together to share in a positive uplifting experience. Everyone deserves healthy food options!

Everyone needs fresh food, and local is fresher--fresher, and presumably less costly, than Whole Foods!

It is the only one of its kind in Codman Square! We are overloaded with stores that sell foods high in fat, and sugars. The Codman Square Farmer's market satisfies a need in our community- we have the highest rates of diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. With more access to fresh, organic fruits and vegetables we as residents are taking a stand for our health. Plus there is always music at our market, and a strong youth presence assisting with the market. The Codman Square Farmer's Market is unique because residents volunteer day of the market to help run things, and worked to bring the market into our neighborhood. And we love Silverbrook Farm!

In Dorchester we don't have a lot of options for fresh fruits and veg. I cannot travel to whole foods etc and the farmers market prove with the fresh fruits and veg I need for me and my two boys. They are also resonable priced, i am a single mom and money is a big factor.

It allows the community to be able to have really fresh fruits and vegetables. Not store bought fruits and vegetables which sometimes in order for them to get to the supermarkets, a lot of chemicals are used to preserve the freshness. The Farmer Market fruits and vegetables are organic and chemical free. Really Fresh!!!!

Fresh local produce is more than welcome in a neighborhood with too many fast food options and not enough healthy eating options.

The Codman Square Family Farmers' Market brings fresh produce to a community that faces a lack of healthy eating options.

It is such a force of good in the neighborhood. With so many unhealthy options all around (fast food on every corner!), this farmers market offers an alternative. It offers a chance for real nutrition and improved health and happiness

People need and appeciate access to fresh produce and vegetables. By shopping in Codman Square, people can save money, obtain fresher, higher quality products, save energy by not needing to shop at a distant market and get to know their neighbors and neighborhood as well. It is a win for all concerned.

Because the Codman Square Health Council and the BOLD Teens working together have brought one of the best farmers in Massachusetts to share his fresh products and his commitment to our health.
