Reviews for: Dedham Farmers Market

The local farms offer some top notch, prize-winning produce - and I love avoiding chemicals in my food.

The Dedham Farmers Market is a wonderful way to buy local and live local. I have met so many wonderful community members at this market while browsing the farm fresh produce and treats. It is consistently one of the events I look forward to every week and I'm so grateful to have access to the array of quality food and smiling neighbors.

Great selection, great prices, friendly people, delicious healthy food... how can you go wrong?

Great selection and prices. Very friendly and helpful vendors. I love this market, can't wait for Wednesdays to come. The produce, dairy and eggs, bakery, honey: Wow! What an amazing array of goodies-and that's not even everything that is offered. I'll be very sad when this is no longer available to us.

very fresh fruits and vegetables. Nice community place to shop in the outdoors. Supports local farms and buisnesses. I got some wonderful basal and rosemary plants there and they are thriving and I get to have fresh herbs to cook with.

Buying local produce is good for the environment and good for the economy. The DFM has been a great addition to our community.

They provide a great opportunity for the surrounding communities to come together each week and share in the wealth of fresh foods and fresh ideas that are offered locally!

Local fresh fruits and veggies -- what more could you want? Local fresh fish which I plan for dinner every Wednesday night. It is out of this world.

Great people organizing and sustaining it, and anything that supports the Dedham-Westwood area, I'm all for!

Fun activities for the kids every week ... and great, local merchants with fabulous products!

Even though I don't actually live in Dedham, I have deep and long-standing roots in the community. I spend a lot of time in the Square because it is a warm, welcoming and vibrant business and community center. I particularly like the Dedham Farmers Market (the only one I shop at consistantly) because of the high quality produce and the variety of other vendors...I'm very fond of the Ever So Humble Pie Company (a little too fond), the spice lady and the LemonThyme products. I look forward to Wednesdays in the Square, doing my farmers market shopping, stopping off for an ice coffee, checking out the new windows at the Blue Bunny, and generally window shopping throughout the area. The Dedham Farmers Market gives me the high quality food that I want, delicious extras that I need for my soul, and wonderful goodies that I can share with others. It is a holistic afternoon!!!

I support the Dedham Farmer's Market because they support sustainable agriculture, the food is fresher because it hasn't been shipped a long distance, and it has a way nicer ambiance than the grocery store. (Not to mention that I often run into friends there... and sometimes even make new ones!)

local fresh goods. I choose to purchase goods from smaller businesses rather than large coorporations who get their produce from out of the state or country.

It's the highlight of my week. Great produce, meat, seafoood, bakes goods, etc. I get delicious Asian vegetables fromthe Hmong farmers. I wish it was every day.

Not only does the Farmers Market supply us with fresh, home grown vegetation and goodies it brings an awesome spirit to Dedham Square every Wednesday.....

such nice selection, great frest food and very convenient for me! thank you for having the market! I like to support local merchants!

It is an ENORMOUS resource for the town of Dedham and one that is patronized and supported by everyone. It is well run with fantastic fresh food and is a real asset to the community.

love taking my children there to introduce them to unique foods, and to meet people who actually work on farms. I think it's so important for kids to understand all the hard work that goes in to creating the healthy foods we eat. It's important for them to know that foods don't always look as perfect as they are in the stores...but that they are just as good, and even tastier if they haven't had to travel thousands of miles before we eat them!!

Because I live in Dedham! They have good farmers esp the organic farmer! the people there are friendly. my kids also enjoy come shop the local veg/fruits with me.

The produce is wonderful! I also got some beautiful striped bass last week, "caught that morning". It's so nice to support local farmers and feel more in touch with what I'm cooking and eating.

It's the best!There is a weekly newsletter about the vendors, recipes and activities that will be running at the market.

We look forward to shopping at the Market each Wednesday. It's fun picking up "just picked" produce such as green beans, sweet corn, lettuce and beets. Everything is delicious. The breads and pies are also fantastic and helps keep our own oven off during the hot summer days! It's also fun to run into friends as we shop.

has more variety. keeps us informed through e newsletter. friendly farmers and leader.

I am a big believer in reducing the carbon footprint and what better way then to buy local!

Its the best to help your neighbor/neighborhood and at the same time receive the best quality food.

Love the fresh fruits and vegetables, awesome fresh seafood,supporting local growers and the community

The kids and I can walk to it and not only is there a great variety of food but there is also something extra going on i.e. pottery.

I love being able to walk or ride bikes to pick up fresh vegetables. It's also nice to include a ride or walk around the town center to see what is happening in our town.

I used to live in the south and on weekends local farmers would have individual farmers stands on the roadside each Sunday. It was wonderful! The Dedham Farmers Market reminds me of simpler times, better quality food, eco-friendly on so many levels -- it is a simple slice of heaven!

Wonderful Food, Freshly Picked, Great Variety Local Farmers, Much more fun then the supermarket.

It's a great addition to Dedham: beautiful fresh food, it brings together the Dedham community, supports local farms, a great weekly event for families to share -- it's an event I look forward to every week!

It's a wonderful addition to the Dedham community. It brings people down to the square for some of the freshest fruits, vegetables and seafood.

Local markets reduce wasted energy by avoiding the transportation of food across the country.

It provides me the opportunity to conveniently support local, sustainable, and organic produce, baked goods, and fish. I don't have to travel all the way into Boston to do this, which makes my carbon footprint smaller. Not to mention it really spruces up the square

Who doesn't love fresh produce and bake goods? My friend spent $30 for 1 bag of produce at Whole Foods vs. $9 for 1 bag at Dedham Farmers Market!

Creative and energetic. Strong feeling of community - nice variety. Well organized. Fun!

Local vendors coming to the square with their quality produce and baked goods. It doesn't get much better than that!

Dedham Farmer's Market brings a wide range of fresh local produce, not to mention delicious baked goods and more to heart of the Square each week creating a destination for residents and others who can also walk around and experience a traditional and lively downtown full of fun boutiques, restaurants and cafes. Make a day of it in Dedham!

This is a great way to get neighbors involved in the square. Fresh food, great atmosphere and just plain fun.

Because I like to be part of the effort to build more locally-based, self-reliant food economies, because of the high quality of the produce, because Clear Flour Bakery is my favorite and because it's fun!

It offers the best local and fresh produce, as well as, other baked goods and treats around!

Wonderful vegetables and plants each week as well as bakery food such as breads and brownies. We are never disappointed when we shop there!

Big agribusiness is dangerous (Emerson, Thoreau) Stop suburban development/support small farms Fresh veggies

The Dedham Farmers Market provides a great sense of community while offering locally grown produce. I feel good that I am helping to support local farmers.

I believe we all need to reduce our carbon footprint. This is one way to help. I also like the emphasis on composting.

I support the Dedham Farmers' Market because of their sincere commitment to sustaining the family farm, their commitment to a positive use of land, and their demonstration of support for enhancing public support for local markets.

Because it is fresh and better for the local economy as well as "green" for the global environment.

They bring vitality and freshness to Dedham Square, in addition to keeping us out of cars driving to supermarkets.

The people are wonderful and the bounty is fresh and plentiful. I love going there to get local, incredibly fresh food.

It's a chance to purchase the freshest, tastiest farm goods and support local farmers.

It feels great knowing my family is eating fresh food, and better yet, it tastes so good! Buy local!

Our Farmers Market is just awesome! Love the food and Love the site, right in the Square!!!

I am totally in favor of locally produced food and sustainable practices. Having a farmers market in Dedham helps to support this while at the same time bringing delicious fresh food to the citizens.

It's great to be able to get fresh produce so close to home and support local farmers!!!

The Dedham Farmers Market has become our family's "must do" activity on Wednesdays. The kids are excited to see what is there and will try new foods because "it was at the Market".

I want to support the high quality local farmers and local businesses, and at the same time support the green intiative! :)

The farmers market brings in a great variety of fresh food, it is in a great location, brings the community together and I think alot of people come out and socialize ina very pleasant atmosphere. There is great breads, vegetables etc. and the workers love to talk with everyone. Also it brings new faces to the businesses in the square.

I love the convenience, the produce, and seeing many friends and neighbors on market day!

The location! So easy to get to the Square (center of town). Wide variety of vendors.

There is a wide variety of farms, including meat, eggs, fish, and plants along with the usual veggies and fruits. The Neighborhood Farms is truly local, with produce grown within a couple of miles of the market. They have great special events. It is a wonderful market!

This is oneof the bestthings that Dedham has done to bring its residents together and to attract others to our growing downtown. What a way to eat better, live better!

Supporting local farmers and businesses is a necessary and fun way to improve the quality of life in your area. The Dedham Farmers Market is convenient, enjoyable, and above all else, has much tastier and fresher food than any chain supermarket.

Dedham farmers market is a great way to shop and support local grocers and farmers. I can walk over from my office as the market is centrally located in the center of town. It is a wonderful to connect with local growers and vendors without having to get in the car and drive. I love the Dedham Farmers Market.

Fresh produce locally grown helps the slow food movement. It is a great community effort that my children and I enjoy. Keep it up!

The variety, freshness and selection of foods and plants is fabulous and it's all in our own backyard! Thank you Dedham Food Market!

Great local endeavor and community builder, not to mention wonderful fresh produce.

so glad to have a local market for fresh produce and an opportunity to support local farmers

Because in this area it is not easy to get fresh local produce, so this is convenient, healthy, environmentally responsible, and a good way to build on the headway already made in Dedham Square.

I support the Dedham Farmers' Market because I love knowing I can walk into town and purchase an array of wonderful locally grown produce.

So close, so fresh, so delicious....such a wonderful town-wide celebration of life!!

I love fresh, locally grown food and want Dedham Farmers Market to be able to continue to provide it for us.

Dedham Farmer's Market has really come into its own this year, making it even easier for Dedham residents to get their fix of fresh locally grown fruits and veggies as well as other locally made goodies.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Dedham Square, offering a variety of fresh food and produce grown in Massachusetts...what more could one ask for!

I have lived in Dedham for over 17 years and I feel this is a great addition to the town! I love having fresh fruit and vegatables for my children and my grandchildren! I can't wait to try fresh seafood!

I love to be able to walk to the Market, get fresh foods, see friends and support local growers.

I love the fact that we can get local, fresh products right outside my door. Thank you!!

I appreciate having such a great selection of produce, plants, baked goods, and now seafood in such a convenient location. I appreciate that I can help support local farming while feeding my family healthy food, and shopping at the farmers market is always fun because I run into friends and neighbors. I love that there is also always some sort of entertainment or educational event as well.

it's great to have the freshest of ingredients available weekly right in the center of the town you live in!!!!

Think Global, Buy Local! The market is a great way to foster community relations and at the same time bring in work for local businesses, not to mention the fresh and delicious produce, baked goods, and seafood!

Great selection of locally grown produce (more will be coming in as the season progresses), plus yummy breads & seafood this year. I always bump into someone I know, and the organizers always try to have entertainment or other tables with useful town info.

Fresh locally grown food attracted me last year. Now, thanks to The Neighborhood Farm (http://www.theneighborhoodfarm.com/), my family is growing potatoes for the market. AND...I can buy fresh fish as well. Go Dedham !

Great local produce at a great price! Plus it is located in wonderful dedham square

I strongly believe that Farmers Market are the most efficient, economical and "healthy" way to distribute food. They also provide the the sense of community integrating people across the different age group, as well as background.

Dedham Farmers Market is a great way to support local farmers and bring fresh food to your table!

Our Farmer's Market helps keeps that old town feeling alive and keep us well with healthy local produce!

It is a wonderful local market with fabulous produce, and wonderful helpful people manning the booths. In addition the Dedham market offers extra activities so it is not just a great shopping experience....kids crafts, other vendors, recipes, compost bins.... All around it is a great way to shop locally, get great produce and take advantage of special offers and events!

I love my town and all its efforts to keep the community wholesome and welcoming. So our Market is another super example of the spirit in Dedham!! Stop by and stay healthy!!

The farmer's market is a real asset to Dedham Square and the town of Dedham. This is the second year for this market and it just keeps getting better. It is also, a kind of meeting place for people and families. I like buying local veggies but also baked goods, seafood, and plants

Local organic & healthy produce is so vital to our well being. We eat healthy and make friends sharing a common interest

I love supporting local farmers. It's a nice way to get wonderful produce, and at the same time connect with the community!

This market has doubled in size for its second year! It's a great tribute to the organizers, farmers and customers to see its growth.

Our farmer's market is a terrific way to bring members of our community and support local farmers. The produce is better and we're doing something to support our local economy and reduce our carbon footprint.

I think that Local is the way to go. Supporting local farmers helps to stimulate local economy and also it reminds people to get out and meet your neighbors. I see and chat with people I wouldn't have a chance to see otherwise. It is a great reminder that community is what life is all about.

Great community Farmer's Market, it brings the town together on Wednesday afternoons!

We need to support local farmers and local businesses. We are losing more and more farms and farmers each year. What if no one farmed??? We need the Dedham Farmers Market so we can have healthy fresh food.

Because it's important to support local farmers and the freshness is hard to beat.

Keeping it local is incredibly important! Small is the new big! Our market brings all our neighbors together. It's like we turned the clock back 50 years. Folks know each others' names. The market also attracts new people to our historic Square increasing local economic stimulus.

It is a great showcase of local produce and other food items. It is also an enjoyable way to shop with your neighbors!

The most wonderful home-grown produce around! The most amazing farms and staff! The most mouth-watering goods!

Supports local farmers, brings the community together and showcases our historic downtown.
