Reviews for: Nuui Cunni Farmers' Market

Lots have happened at this Farmers Market since all those nice comments in 2009. For example, all the people who commented have left the Market, and there have been no replacements. The Market mostly consists of a volunteer buying produce at cost from local Isabella Market and reselling it, after it's been sitting in the volunteer's truck overnight. The nuts shipped in from out of the area by the same volunteer's son and repackaged illegally in someone's kitchen. They lie in local advertising claiming to be the first Farmers Market, when there have been at least two Market operating long before they did, and they have also lied in advertising that they can accept USDA Farmers Market checks and CalFresh cards, when they can't. The County should revoke their Certifiecation.

Lots of friendly helpful people, fresh fruits and vegetables, local music and art. It's on a reservation, so you have natural history surrounding you. And it's all topped off with the breathtaking views of the Kern River Valley! It's well worth the drive from Bakersfield where our Farmer's Markets are nice...but with cars whizzing by and the blacktop parking lots, it's simply not comparable.

Our Farmers' Market is fun to visit every Saturday!! My Mom is the Market Manager!

The Nuui Cunnii Farmers Market helps support our business selling organic produce. Where else can locals as well as visitors alike benefit from what the market provides in locally grown produce and crafts created by KRV residence. Even the Forest Service has been receiving compliments for it's participation in creating a space for the market. There are many KRV residence who never knew that Nuui Cunni cultural center existed until the farmers market brought them to it. This has been a gem of an idea (gems are even sold here) that has come to our valley thanks to Anna Leon who made it happen. Our Farmers Market provides vital economic support to locals as well as healthy choices in produce. I have made terrific meals from the best recipes that our customers related to me while talking over the box of beets or inhaling the sent of a sweet organic tomato. It brings back community conversation that only a farmers market brings out in people. I have traveled around the world and it is the farmers market that is the place I gravitate to if I really want to get a taste of the local community.

My grandparents made a living selling garden fresh fruits and veggies as well as meat they had raised themselves just a couiple of miles away from Nuuni Cunni (in Keysville). This feels like a family tradition because of that. Not to mention that it functions as a gathering place for the valley, something that has been sorely missed since the modernization of the post offices. On top of that, check out the number of kids at the market helping sell, set up, tear down, etc! It's called rebuilding our community and the frosting on the cake is we all get to eat better as well.

Healthy food and living makes for a healthy community supporting each others wellbeing, from the grower, to the vendor, to the customer, to all who support this circle of local commerce and entrepreneurship in difficult times. Thanks to all for making this possible.

We love to support local farmers and the Nuui Cunni Indian Cultural Center, too.

Ilove the fresh food and great folk!! I love the fact we are a tiny community and fledgling babies at this and working hard together to make it work.

Great fruits & veggies, soaps & herb balms, crafts, and fun people to meet & greet.

This is a much needed new resource in our small mountain community. Started a few months ago at the Native American Cultural Center, it provides funding for the center as well as an outlet for small farmers and backyard gardeners. It is also a place where the many talented artists and hand crafters can sell there creations to residents of our community and visitors to our lake, river, and mountains. This is a very important part of our economy and we LOVE it! Thanks to Anna Leon and everyone at the Center for making this happen.

Our Farmers' Market is great! It's growing every week in vendors and shoppers. It's a place where the community really comes together, and the rock guy and barbed wire artist are awesome!

Great place and wonderful people. Love all the fresh fruits and veggies. Always see someone I know to say HI to.
