This was my first (and last) visit to the farmer's market. I bought some overpriced produce; a small basket of tomatoes for $3.50, peppers for $3.50, and mushrooms. When I got home, I found one tomato was rotten, and they were tasteless. Homegrown tomatoes are usually very tasty. I wonder if the seller bought tomatoes elsewhere and repackaged them at a markup. There were other tables (Avon, soaps, stuffed animals, etc.) that seemed out of place to me.

Great historic location, within biking distance from my house. My young son loves the fresh fruit every weekend.

Livonia's Farmers Market has been around for many years. I have bought much of my produce from them. Even in tough economic times the farmers still come out in droves to sell their produce, we must give them a great applaude.

the location. being on the site of the original Wilson Dairy, with the original barn and house gives you a sense of connectedness with the 1880's. As this farm used to sell its produce in the 1800's at the Detroit Farmers Market.

Taking place at a beautiful historic farm site, vendors offer the freshest harvest.

I believe in fresh produce, supporting my local grower and knowing that everything I am feeding my family is safe.

It is a few home grown things, but mainly some overpriced produce people bought downtown and are trying to resell. not worth the effort. Too bad, because I live really close and would love an actual farmers market. The farm stand on joy and farmington is WAY better

The website incorrectly lists Wilson Barn open on Wednesday's. I walked from Redford to West Chicago and Middlebelt (the farm market) at 1:00 pm as listed on the website and there was no fruits and vegetables for sale. PLEASE update your website or I will not be a visitor anymore.

This farmer's market is nice and small. Lots of stuff. I would classify this more as a flea market. About half of the people had wares to sell other than HOMEGROWN produce.

Homegrown produce was a sore spot with me. I noticed that several of the people had transferred produce from large containers to small ones. I can buy the same size container they transferred from at Costco. Items such as blueberries and Raspberries were not local harvest. I thought I would get stuff people actually grew not stuff they bought at Eastern Market and repackaged. I would recommend a different markeplace than this.
