You have all of your bases covered from produce to meat to dessert, herbs, tea and honey. I love this market and the "Tannery Bucks" are a nice bonus.

Brought our community together, Nice to see the young children involved. They can make things and sell their product. Fresh everything.

Fresh, local grown food is the best for all. This is the best way to 'go green.' No long distance transportation/fuel emissions, pesticides that put produce 'to sleep' then again to 'wake up' when it gets to final destination. Plus the added benefit of keeping local farmers working, which is good for everyone.

I enjoy the music provided by visiting musicians. They have all been very talented. The coffee provided by local vendors and weekly fresh eggs, bacon and ham provided by a local farmer are delicious. Seats and tables are available to join friends and family and "regulars" for breakfast in the outdoors. The craftspeople have beautiful and affordable offerings, which I enjoy. The venue is small enough to buy fruits and vegetables easily, put them in your car and then to realx and enjoy breakfast and the entertainment.

I support our local growers because I know that everything is fresh (which means the produce lasts longer) and pesticide free. I am also a big fan of the "Little Milkman" in Portsmouth, NH - fresh milk in a glass bottle.....mmmmm!!

I love that by having a farmers market we can teach our children what buying local is all about. Between what we grow in our own garden and what our boys see at the farmers market, they can see the direct benefit of good, healthy food at it's purest state. Our six year old told me we never have to go to the supermarket again!! AMEN!

There are so many local farms in our area and the Newburyport Farmers' Market is a wonderful way to bring them all together to help our community support local food providers. I am a huge fan of eating local whenever possible, and the Farmers' Market is a great complement to our CSA.

This is the first year for the Newburyport FM. It is a great market with tremendous diversity of products. Local farms and biz bring their best goods not to mention terrific entertainment to rally the kids and families. It is a meeting place for many with one common thread.

Think the market is great on so many levels...bringing community together, food, music...the fundamentals of life. Also want to support local merchants, educate my 3 kids that it is always better to enjoy a little of a good quality versus a lot of generic blah. Looking forward to many more years.

The Newburport Farmers Market has a great selection of produce, meat, eggs, flowers, herbs, amongst others. The baked products and cooked food offered there is also wonderful. Last but certainly not least, the Newburyport Farmers Market is environmentally aware encouraging biking to the market rather than driving. It sure makes you feel good to support them!

The Newburyport Farmers' Market is a wonderful weekly event where we can purchase locally grown products in support our local farms.

It's not just a Farmers Market, it's a communal event. Not only do we get to support the local farmers, but also included are local artisans, bakers, and all sorts of food suppliers. They even have a design your own granola booth, and an ever changing kids booth. There has been demonstrations of alternative and sustainable energy. We even get to meet and greet a different farm animal each week. All this to the back drop of local live music! The Newburyport Farmers Market thinks globally, but acts locally.

You know you have a great local farmer's market when you see people hurriedly walking from all directions toward downtown on Sunday mornings, their canvas bags tucked tightly under the arm. Seeing this always makes my anticipation greater, and I'm never disappointed. The Nport farmer's market has great variety, community support and a lively atmosphere! From the live music and animals to the wonderful local roast coffee and prepared, food, the farmer's market here makes you feel like part of a concerned, aware and proactive community.
