Because it has everything we as a community needs and brings a little country to the urban north Jersey.

It brings our community to the downtown area once a week and hopefully, they will be patronizing the retail stores in the village.

The vendors are friendly and there's a nice variety of produce, baked goods, , prepared foods, pickles and cheeses. South Orange Main Street provides entertainment and information on local issues and events, so it's more than just a shopping experience.

I look forward to the fresh produce all year long and during the summer, I can't wait for Wednesdays to arrive. It's a great selection and I try to buy from all the vendors. I work in NYC so I sometimes stop at the Rockefeller Center market, but South Orange is better! The pickles are superb.

It is terrific to see the same reliable famers each for now over 15 years. The produce and veggies are wonderful. I have seen the children of the farmers grow up ,and we meet neighbors and friends shopping as well.

I have lived in South Orange for 20 years, and been shopping for JERSEY FRESH fruits and veggies at the Main Street South Orange Farmers Market for the 16 years it's been there. Then I managed the market, and now I run the organization that runs the market. I believe in shopping and eating locally, and supporting our NJ farmers. Not only is it convenient and delicious, but sustainable.

Loved it when I lived there and STILL love it after moving to West Orange. The W.Orange market is impossible to park near and isn't worth the trouble after parking! The quality of the people at the S.Orange market is MUCH nicer!

Cause it is a brilliant idea and how convenient. I am from Austria and could cry every time I get fresh fruit and vegetables like I did when I was a child. Mind you the fresh baked pies are out of this world!

The food is fresh and some organic. There is a wide variety of items for sale and the farmers are a delight. One trip to the farmers market and my dinner is complete. From fresh flowers to fresh mozzarella. I look forward to seeing them every year
