Reviews for: Holland Farmers Market

http://www.hollandfarmersmarket.com/ I know it says not to post URLs, but why wouldn't the market's website be available here somewhere?

My girls and I LOVE coming to this farmers market! This farmers market has a HUGE variety of vendors with fresh and unique product. You can choose to come on either Wednesdays or Saturdays from 8am to 4pm beginning in May and running all the way to the end of October. In November and December they offer the Christmas market with specialty vendors you can shop from on selected Fridays and Saturdays. Besides the wonderful produce,breads, baked goods, specialty goods and meats (oh yes, I can't forget the beautiful flowers that are for sale right now too!) that you would expect to find we have also found and made friends with many of the fabulous vendors. Because we have seen them week after week they remember my children now and they have begun teaching my girls about their trades. Also, in past years they have provided educational classes for children on Wednesdays at 10am and 11am by the northwest corner of the Civic Center. I can not find info as to if they are doing it again this year, but stop over to that area and check it out with your children. All classes encourage healthy eating and fun ways of exploring the farmers market. The farmers market can be a GREAT education experience for everyone. I have included a link to the official website for the Holland Farmers Market so you can check it out for yourself. http://www.hollandfarmersmarket.com/

The Holland Farmers Market has everything from fruit & vegetables to kettle corn and the best tamales in the world!

Best Farmers market in all of michigan! Friendly, warm patrons and wonderful selection of fruit, vegetables, baked goods, flowers and greenery along with meats and local artist works.

Love the variety and quality of vendors and products. Summer kids' activities on Wednesdays are awesome, and we enjoy the musicians on the weekends.

There are so many options food wise, and different activities the children can participate in. The musicians are always playing as people stroll through and grab at the free samples, and wonderful food.

Delicious food, courteous tenders, conveniently located. Variety of produce offered at very reasonable prices. Great place to take the kids and as a family walk around.

To get fresher, more nutrient dense food and to support my neighbors. It's also a beautiful sight!

The food is fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is great. I learn a lot about my food by talking to the growers The live music and kids' activities are a real bonus! It's a must see destination when we host out of town friends and family. They always go home with a bag of local fruits and veggies.

I love the opportunity to buy local, see lots of people I know, and enjoy being outdoors. Its eyecandy just to wander through with my daughter and grandkids, and then eat healthy all week. I also enjoy the food demonstrations.

Good variety of organic vendors, great coffee-it's a Sat am ritual for me and my 2 kids! My son takes quarters from his piggy bank to give to the musicians.

Amazing people, mch variety and always a great time for the whole family! We love it!!

It last May through December, and is so extensive! Love that there are lots of organic vendors.

I actually haven't been to it yet, but really would like to soon! They have lots of stuff, and I always belive it's good to support your local community.

It brings together people from family farms and co-ops and folks from the community to share their joy and stories about good, wholesome food.

DeBoer Brother's Bakkerij! Organic Produce! Support for local farmers! The freshest seasonal veggies and fruits. The Honey. Lemonjellos coffee and Ray the Tamale King

Great food, fresh produce, great atmosphere, social connection, entertainment, good coffee, just an all around wonderful experience. We go to the market everyday it is open!!!

It's poetry for a Saturday morning: here we are, reclaiming the sensory, pausing to notice the astonishing pink of beets and the snappy sweetness of peas.

I love the sights, sounds and smells of the Holland Farmer's Market! What a beautiful, naturally energizing way to spend a Saturday morning.

I love Holland's Farmer's Market! It is a Saturday tradition for me. The choices are abundant, I love the organic booths, and the flowers are awesome!

My wife, Jan, and I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning, shopping for some the freshest produce in West Michigan in a comfortable and convenient location. The market showcases the Holland community at its finest.

Locally Grown Fruits and Vegtables, Flowers and Handmade products promote the local farmers work that they put back into the area. I want to help support out Local Growers of everything that we love about Fresh Produce. Locally Grown in West Michigan is the Best!!

Love extent of produce, baked goods, and other foods the market has to offer. Plus I love how it brings the community together twice a week.

I love the Holland Farmers Market, everything is always so fresh and reasonably priced. The vendors are very helpful and friendly. Nice to see so many kids activities so they can learn not all food has to come from the grocery store. And of course you can't beat the freshness. It is also nice to treat yourself to a lovely bouquet once a week too.

A one-stop shop for our family of 4! My kids love the activities and great music. We can stop quickly or spend more than an hour enjoying the market. All of the vendors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Wednesday is known as "market day" at our house.

loved that there was live music - great variety! and the events are fun too! saw the cutting produce seminar - looking forward to the salsa event & jalapeño eating contest in August!

This market is AMAZING! From the flowers in the spring, though the delicious produce in the summer, to the greenery and art displayed before the holidays, this market Rocks! Organic farmers, local produce, educational workshops, kids fun days and a load of smiling freindly faces make this market #1!

Some of the best vendors around, wonderful facility, good entertainment, great demonstrations and great events planned for children.

I love Holland Famers Market! So many friendly faces and great produce! Plus the best donuts and cookies anywhere! Any the live music just make my morning!

Grown local and we buy local . There is no better place to be at 8:00 sat am then the incredible Holland farmers market !!!! Thankyou growers for doing a wonderful job !!!

Fresh grown fruits & veggies just taste better. There's an endless variety of other goodies, as well. Plus I'm all for supporting our local growers. Whether leisurely browsing on a Saturday or a quick pick up on a Wednesday, the Holland Farmers Market provides me with a lot tasty treats. Check it out...and don't forget to help the planet by bringing your own tote bags!

Lots of vendors, lots of choices, interesting foods (kohlrabi - yum!), and kids activities every Wednesday!

Not only does Holland's Farmer Market offer the best selection of local fruits & vegetables, plants, trees, delicious pastries and breads, the vendors are also friendly with interesting suggestions and helpful advice. The variety of entertainment is what gives this downtown market such a unique flair. It's a great family event and the our grandchildren love the Wednesday Kid's events. Our trip to Holland's Farmer's Market is not complete without a stop at our favorite vendor for a Taco Loco from Ray's ... the Tamale King!

Love the fresh local produce. My 2 year old daughter loves going to the market, picking out fresh flowers and getting a fresh fruit snack.

We go every week and buy our fruits and veggies. I love that they have so many vendors and such a great variety of booths to choose from.

Holland Farmer's Market is a happy place. The atmosphere is fun. There are two or three musicians, singers, and/or sometimes a street performer. All ages patronize this well balanced offering of vegetables, fruits, flowers, baked goods, plants, etc. Each Saturday there is a chef of the week giving a demonstration; that is always well attended. A hot drink stand greets walk in visitors. A food court adjacent to the 'main street' caters to the shoppers. The city has built a two block long structure fronting the 'mall' type walk way. It's located close to the Civic Center so the large parking area doubles for the market goers convenience. We love it.

I love the fresh vegetables fruit and flowers. It's wonderful to be able to buy direct from the farmers rather than through a supermarket where the produce is old before it gets to the store.

clean,neat excellent displays of products,fresh clean neatly displayes produce,baked goods are great, good "street performers", very freindly merchants

From organic to hydroponic to just plain fresh produce, this market has it all! There are arts, crafts, wildflowers, and the tastiest vegetables in the area, picked fresh from the fields. There is truly something for everyone at this farmers' market.

We love the variety. The music, the food, the programs, the vendors, everything.

Kids programs, Chef series, contests and most of all the great venders. Produce, plants and cookies, what more could I ask for?

Our market is a very social meeting place and the many colors of the flowers, vegtables and plants in the morning sunlight will take your breath away. What a great town and market!

Wonderful home grown produce, friendly vendors, comparable pricing and great atmosphere!!

Variety, cleaniness, pleasant, knowledgeable vendors, and convenient location..The Holland (Michigan) Farmers' Market is the best market I have visited in recent years..It is so good that I will make the hour and a half drive at least 2 more times this summer!

Great venue. Lots of variety of vendors. Friendly people with great recipes. Very wholesome atmosphere and banjo, violin, and guitar players, even clog dancers!!

Our Farmer's Market is always overflowing with delicious fruits and vegetables. I love walking along the stalls and imagining the countless meals I could make.

It has a great assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as lots of other local choices, like herbs, oils, honey, preserves, meats, eggs, flowers and plants, etc.

I've visited many farmers markets, and Holland's is the best. Everything is fresh and local, and the prices are very reasonable. That's not always so true at other markets.

widest variety of goods, friendly local farmers, and the best prices i've seen anywhere

It is absolutely great with a large assortment of fresh vegetables, fruit,and fresh cut flowers.it has a nice atmosphere, friendly people, also fresh baked pastries available...it is the best!!!!

This is our Sat. morning ritual. Such wonderful bounty, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Great variety of Fruits and Vegatables that are high quality and reasonably priced. The market also offers natural foods as well as herbs and flowers. The city provides the right venue for the market putting it in downtown and providing the shelter for the farmers. This is one of the best in the Midwest.

Fun to shop with all the folks walking around, meeting friends and having a great selection of food, plants, entertainment and help.

Two days a week I can get the freshest produce for my gourmet cooking for my family. Multiple venders with cooking tips and displays. All local businesses.

Holland's Farmers Market is THE place to be every Wednesday and Saturday! It's fun to see the bustling crowds out and about supporting area farmers and interacting with each other...it's a great tradition in this community!!!

It is a fantastic farmers market. Beautiful, easy to shop at, and a great selection!

Great atmosphere, quality plant and flower vendors, yummy produce,helpful Master Gardeners, great food, friendly people, and more!

The variety of items, the entertainment, the Chef Series, the food court, the long season from May until November - what's not to love? Now if only they'd let me in there ...!

Great vendors, great entertainment, great variety of produce and other foods and flowers. It is set-up nicely and I love the long season!

I love the fresh produce, baked goods, and plants all supplied by local businesses and individuals. In addition, there is delightful entertainment, great cooking demonstrations, and the opportunity of chance encounters with friends and neighbors. Oh, I must also mention the great breakfast burritos made by Burrito King!

The variety of produce/goods. Honey/coffee/jerky/spices/bakery/even fresh homemade donuts!

It is my favorite time of the week! I love waking up early on a Saturday morning while the dew and the fog still hovers over the ground and wander through the market, chatting with all of the farmers who consistenly come each weekend with their food. Thank you farmers of Michigan!

The Holland Farmers Market is wonderful! I think this because there are various stands including: fruit, veggies, dog bones, popcorn, beach grass, flowers, patio furniture, and garden/ yard decoration. The Holland farmers market is filled with kind sellers and buyers. The Holland farmers market is a very welcoming place. I enjoy visiting it regularly.

Great farmers & produce! Can't wait for first one in May and sad at the end of harvest time...

This is the best farmer's market in Southwest Lower Michigan with lots of variety, knowledgeable friendly vendors and lots of extra activities for the whole family.

Good variety of produce and seasonal plants, great people, visiting chefs are awesome! Great location/accessibility.

There is more than just fresh produce, like ways to decorate your yard and home. There are also activities for kids on Wednesdays and the chef series for adults on saturdays. The music adds so much to the atmosphere.

-Local Farmers (Fat Blossom Farms is one of my favorites an also the Organic farmers from Bangor!) -Great music (love the bluegrass musicians!) -Lemonjellos coffee -Seeing people -The Farmers Market is one of my favorite summer activities!

Delicious locally grown produce, great chef series, awesome street performers, beautiful downtown setting combined with Michigan's fabulous summer weather- it doesn't get any better!

I love our local vendors. They have so many helpful tips on their produce. Our chef series is a great way to get new ideas on how to use these beautiful local offerings. And the ambiance of the downtown location mixed with meeting up with friends can't be beat.

centrally located,excelant produce,other events going on and enjoyable atmosphere with other people.

High Quality of many different items. Has a Large supply of many different Farmers..from Honey, Vegetables, Fruit, and Carmel Corn. Many different cooking demonstrations....it is a Very Friendly atmosphere to all..

Supporting local farmers! High quality produce! Our market builds community.

1) The food is awesome, the farmers are great, and they're very helpful, they'll even carry stuff to the car to help customers. 2) There is a Saturday chef series that hosts local chefs who demonstrate how to prepare the fresh foods at the market. Farmers say that it helps boost their sales because when the demonstration is about kale, customers buy kale. On Wednesdays, there are cooking demonstrations across the street in the Holistic Nutrition Center using Farmer's Market produce. That is technically not part of the market, but it might just as well be considered part, because it's one of those things you don't want to miss when you shop Wednesdays. 3) There are local musicians who play in center court while we shop. Some of them are really good! 4) There are scheduled events for children during the Saturday market. 5) The atmosphere is awesome, it's a great place to meet friends as well as to just find friends you haven't seen in a while.

It is a wonderful place to buy fresh, local fruits, veggies, and other assorted goods!

It has fabulous fresh food. It's a friendly, dynamic place to buy local fresh produce, plants, baked goods, and more.

It's incredibly friendly. You won't find anyone who isn't willing to have a conversation with you (not to mention sell you fresh produce!). Whenever I come back home in the summer I always make a trip to the farmer's market.

Beautiful area set up for the market, well organized, lot's of farmers from around the Holland area bring there products in to sell to the local folks.

High quality and assortment of organic vegetables. Nice area and always clean. Besides veggies you can also get breads, flowers and assorted other foods.

HFM is just a part of the great experience, in the clean beautiful, friendly, fun town of Holland.

Support our local farmers and they are so helpful when looking for fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. Love the atmosphere.

Friendly vendors, fair price, fresh food and flowers, organic items, local farmers.

The product selection is always the best quality and variety and the new market is lovely!

The Holland Farmers Market is one of my favorite local spots! I love the whole experience...chatting with and learning from farmers, cooking with the freshest and often organic locally-grown produce, and being part of a community-building effort that brings people together from different corners of Holland. Saturday mornings at the local Farmers Market have become a weekly ritual and I hereby cast my vote to support its continued success!

great selection of locally-grown produce, exceptional series of classes using the produce, vegetable and fruit carving contests, chef cook-offs and all in the downtown area.

We love supporting local family farms. Our farmers' market is very large and diverse (especially for the size city we live in). It also hosts a few street musicians as well as activities for kids and cooking classes. I just wish it was everyday!

I support the Holland Farmers Market because of the wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Also, I appreciate all they do to spread the word of healthy eating and living (like the cooking classes, activities for children, etc.0.

Helpful, knowledgable vendors who are not "pushy"; friendly, personal mileau with a sort of "old world" charm; great variety of products with optimal personal selection options.

Because my grandfather made his living farming and I want to continue this time honored tradition of individual farmers providing for their families by buying their produce. I'm honoring my grandfather.

Because it's AWESOME! Every Wednesday I take my kids down there to make craft and play with sidewalk chalk and hula hoops. They LOVE it!! Saturday';s are awesome for me, because they have cooking demonstrations by local chefs. What's not to love?!?!?!

It is the best combination of atmosphere, people, and product and it happens twice a week! Saturdays are unbelievable with literally thousands of people attending!
