Reviews for: Pearl Farmers Market

Changing my dietary habits and switching from canned and processed foods to fresh and natural ingredients has made a huge difference in my overall health. My body is glad to have the Pearl Farmers Market!

great produce, but more than that. there is fresh bread, fish, cheese, baked goods and more. one could not ask for a better food shopping experience.

I grew up in S.A.Tex and i am glad they restored the Pearl site for a market.I wish other cties would open markets as well Good Luck to them

Great location. Fresh food right from the farms. More importantly the foods and products are local which means we are helping to sustain our local farmers.

I think its Great or them to work so hard on keeping us health with there natural production for fruits and vegetables. Thanks for everything.

I love all the fresh fruit & vegetables. I think you get a much better deal than the grocery store.

The Pearl celebrates fresh, local growers and artisans with culture and style. Music, cooking demos, and celebrity guests make it all the better each week.

I support Pearl Farmers Market because it is important to have fresh foods right from the farm to nourish our bodies. Even more importantly the foods and products are local which means we are helping to sustain our local farmers and producers.

Great location, good food and products, and fun to get out and meet people in our area instead of driving to Austin.

As a restaurant owner, it is important that I have a place where I can find fresh foods and a source for ideas for new menu items. I found the bison meat at Pearl Farmers Market and it is now served at Earl Abel's. The vendors at the Pearl are very nice and helpful.

I love supporting local farmers and ranchers to try and change the way we consumer food here in the US. Also, the produce and meats beat anything you can find in the grocery store.

Beautiful addition to the Pearl complex bringing fresh veggies and other goodies to us every Saturday.

Its bringing life to my neighborhood which had been on a downhill slide. I also like the sense of community it creates, I can't go without seeing several people I konw!

The market has seasonal/fresh produce and products, never disappointed. Plus the history of the location and it's significance to the community. Also the Riverwalk is right at the base and what's greater than to walk down the scenic river and take in the museum on a beautiful morning. Also the various events/demonistrations and participants.

Its such a great way to promote buying local and seasonal produce to help our planet! I love that we have a means to be green here in SA!

I support Pearl Farmers Market because it is part of the new Riverwalk section, Museum Reach, and I love to know I'm getting fresh, local produce.

I came from a state that the local farmers market was fantastic. I have not been able to find one in San Antonio that was even close. THIS IS IT. FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES ARE GREAT!

I KNOW the market provides food from local producers. In fact, Pearl Farmers Market is a producers only market and the producers are local (w/in a 150 mi. radius of San Antonio). The variety is incredible and nothing has been brought to market before reaching perfection.

love the fresh produce and the fact that it's grown locally and I can talk to the people that grow it. Nothing tastes better than a tomatoe grown to ripeness.

It is in a great area of town that needs to fill in, grow and widen out to the community about buying locally grown foods. Everyone, including our children need to see how wonderful this way of life can be for all.

Pearl Farmers Market is new this year, and I am really enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables offered there. Also, Linda Perez brings her grass fed organic beef. It is so good!

Because not only are they providing us with local and organic produce. They also have meat, bread, nuts, music, demonstrations and the list goes on! Pearl's Farmers Market is the place to be on Saturday's @ 9am!

I support the Pearl Farmers Market because it provides us with the best fruits and vegetables at great prices. You not only get to shop there but there are cooking demos, giveaways, and it's a great place to take the whole family.

I love all of the varieties of produce available each and every Saturday. Always fresh from the farm. I support the farmers in my area.

It's a wonderful community gathering spot that bring local products to the heart of San Antonio.

It's been a long time coming and those who pulled it together worked hard to make it happen. It brings lots of people out to support our local farmers. Great variety, great demos, great entertainment!

it's local, fun to shop. close by and I can ride my bike. See many friends. Visit the River Walk Museum Reach. I love it!

Best farmers market - always a very good variety of fresh-picked fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, healthy value-added products, live herbs, delicious hormone-free meats, chefs cooking, demonstrating & selling local favorites, & live music!

The Pearl Farmers Market is located in a culturally rich area of historical downtown San Antonio, but the age of the locale only contributes tradition; the area just received a fresh, contemporary facelift to give South Texas' finest producers a beautiful place to set up shop. True to Texas, the vendors are all 100% trust-worthy growers and artisans.

Best local farmers market. I like the fact the sustainable/organic producers make their produce available directly to the public.

I live in the area. I can walk to market and buy what I need for the week. I love the planning for each market event. i love the freebees. Coffee and pastries are great. Chef presentations are excellent. Entertainment is pleasant. Quality of veggies not the greatest due to drought. LOVE LAVENDAR exhibitor Love sitting at table under umbrellas and talking to freinds.

Pearl is doing a fantastic job of seeking out local farmers and producers who are really committed to organic/sustainable farming (unlike many other farmer's markets around this area that often feature resellers and non-organic produce). The quality at Pearl is fantastic and they offer a whole array of programming like cooking demos, music to keep the community involved. I love the Pearl Farmers Market!

100% Producer Only, Beautiful, next to the San Antonio River, Very Friendly Producers, Great Chef Demos every week

It is just simply wonderful! LoVe that everything is so fresh, so good. SA needed something like this for sometime now...Praying that maybe someday it'll get as big as the ones in New York and Chicago. It so much fun going to the Market, look forward to it every Sat. Thank you so much for allowing San Antonio the opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful event.

i attend school at the Aveda Institute near the farmers market. it is an excellent place to find vegetables for dinner as well as lunch for the day. the location near the new river expansion makes it family and pet friendly as well as serene.

It's a great reason to get out of bed on a Saturday morning! Local produce, friendly farmers, SOLE food chefs, yummy baked goods, and great people watching!

Fresh food tastes better, has more nutritional value, and is lest costly than food shipped to supermarkets. Vendors at Pearl are local and produce exceptional products for reasonable prices. Each week new foods are available, and you never have to worry that food you buy will be flavorless due to being the wrong season or over processed! It is also the only place in San Antonio I have found to make grass fed meats available to the public!

Because it's what the city of San Antonio has long needed. In addition to the great fruits and vegetables, it's also a great meeting place to enjoy the new River Walk extension.

The produce and offering are the best SA has ever had and will continue to grow. What a great thing and it is right on the San Antonio Riverwalk!

Food is fresh and inexpensive! The market is also in a GREAT and growing place in San Antonio!

They have great fresh local produce and are located next to great new section of the Riverwalk!

I eat as much organic food as possible and I like to support local farmers. Our market farmers are the nicest people and they are very clear giving answers to question in a friendly and informative way.

Great new market...getting more organic(FINALLY...a first for San Antonio!),next to the Riverwalk and a great place to hang out!!

Nothing beats farm fresh veggies, besides my grandparents were farmers. My favorite childhood memories are my grama's hugs.

I just love this market. Everything comes from local farms and is fresh. A welcome addtion to the area.

Everything is local and fresh. When I first moved to San Antonio in 1974, there was a real farmer's market downtown at El Mercado; now that's just a fun tourist spot...there have been attempts at farmer's markets throughout the city through the years, but this is the best so far...and the one that's going to not just last, but get better and better!

Outstanding location, reaches a wide diversity of customers, smells great and everything is FRESH!!!

new Market that supports local and bring together a diverse community with food as the focus.

Fresh produce abounds with glorious smells of fresh baked goods. The atmosphere is relaxed family oriented with musicians and chefs preparing masterpieces. Wonderful, beautiful location. So much fun!!

I happened upon the Farmers Market on the day of the Grand Opening. I do agree that the vendors need to be spread out for the sake of the long lines, not being to walk around and was unable to see what most of the vendors had to offer. However, that is easy to cure. Farmers market vendors do not need to be just farmers. If you have something to sell that is home grown or home made then this is great place to bring it to the community. I thought that it was very impressive that the fruits, vegetables, shrimp, fish, and pastries were sold out before 11:00 a.m.

Pearl FM just started and, as a result, is still working out the glitches. The lack of pasture eggs and poultry is surprising. The grass-fed beef and local goat and lamb are wonderful. The baked goods, while not sold by a farmer, are made by local people and are pretty darned tasty. The stalls are indeed too close together. I presume that the organizers know this and they're working on a solution - how could they miss the fact that people can't find room to wait in line! I'll still have to find my pasture chicken and eggs from other sources. I wish there were more organics at the Pearl FM. And why is no one selling locally made cheese? So Pearl FM is not perfect. But it's filling an obvious need in the center of town. If attendance remains high, more farmers will come. If the organizers do their job, they'll seek out more local folks who use organic practices. I'm going to keep going, spending money, and looking for the improvements.

We were disappointed. The stands are too close together and most of them were selling food to eat rather than good fresh produce. We expected to buy produce but the lines were so long and wide that people were unable to get through to other stands. There were only a few local farmers who actually sold produce and people, unlike in foreign markets, were only buying a few items. They need to spread out so people can see what is available and they need to get more farmers to participate. We left without ever getting to the stands.

This is a very diverse market and the produce and meat are great. Can't wait to see it grow!
