Reviews for: Chester Sunday Market

The Chester Market has a wonderful variety of vendors and an interesting feature every week.

Lots of fun: meet neighbors and connect with local people. Shop for fresh produce.

I meant many people out of town. I feel having a Farmers Market On Main Street is a great Idea. Getting fresh produce and other Items Including Clothing. Having the Town Merchants Involved Is wonderful. A couple from Maine will pass the great experience on to their town. They own a gift shop in Wells Maine. "Let's Main St It"

Fresh, local, and yummy food and the opportunity to chat with members of our community.

Fresh produce, I can walk from my home while pulling the kids in a wagon, and great people host this event!!

It's thematic, open to everyone with unexpected delights every week. Everyone goes; it's like a little Sunday morning party each week.

Great variety, terrific venue, friendly shoppers, and we can walk to the market - as life should be for us all.

I support the Chester Sunday Market because it provides a wonderful and varied cornucopia of locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, pastries and meats to satisfy the most discriminating palate.

Incredible variety of local products available every Sunday. Love the open air stroll through the center of town for shopping. Products are high quality and vendors are all friendly.

Because it a great way to support the local community. Also it brings awareness and attention to eating healthy foods.

The market has everything. Great food, great music, and great people. If you haven't gone...your missing out!

It has a multiple amount of local Farmers/Vendors with just about everything one could want to by. Fresh and delicious. Plus everyone is extremely polite. Wonderful live music and the local is very quaint

Fresh produce,cheese and bread all in the same place, as well as a chance to look at the work of the local artisans

It's wonderful to purchase locally grown produce from your neighbors while visiting with friends. It's a great thing....too bad the entire world cannot appreciate the experience.

It's such a great way to meet other people in the community, buy local and fresh items and also to support other venues... Civics & Community/ Artists and so much more. I've gone every weekend I've been around and absoultely love it...

It's just such a good idea! The town center is the place to be on a Sunday morning with all sorts of fresh produce, beautiful flowers, creative crafts, and both the town's folk and the visitors are out enjoying each others' company!

I agree with all of the other comments. From a Landscape Architectural point of view. The Market has all of the components that make a space successful. Personally, I think these points really distinguish it from other markets. 1. The surrounding shops are open & accessible. 2. The music 3. The fact that it is held on Sunday. 4. There are places to sit. 5. The diverse selection of goods 6. The fresh SMOOTHIES. 5. Parking is easy-short walk. My daughter looks forward to having those fresh smoothies every week. Also, she is learning healthy habits. In order to replicate the smoothie, she insists on buying the local yogurt w/ live cultures, the fresh fruit, the local honey every week! This has become an extremely healthy habit which worked out great in the 10 days of high dosage antibiotics when she got diagnosed w/ babeosis from a tick bite. Thank goodness for the market!!

My hubby Daryl and I decided to volunteer on SUNDAYS in our home town of Chester for the new Sunday Farm Markets. Little did we know just how wonderful it would be to be part of such a nice project. We meet people from our community, serve them, we are part of a team, love the people, the pets, the music, the food, the organic goodies, flowers, crafts, veggies, the River Tavern, Simons, the Village breakfasts, the new book shop, the pets walking around and a different theme and band each week. It is a feast for the senses and such a lovely village event. Love Sundays there. Claudia Post and hubby Daryl Hinkson

I didn't know our town could be even more wonderful until the Sunday Market came along! Now we just go down on our bikes and get our veggies for the week. Yummm!

It's right in the center of our funky town; tere's always music and a special theme and a wide variety of produce and locally raised meat and fish. It's colorful and classy and really helping our little town in these down times.

Wow! What a wonderful market! I knew it would be fabulous but I was truly blown away by all of the great products, vendors and smiling faces! I will look forward to this market every weekend!

The Market supports community, merchants and vendors... with local food, artists, musicians and beautiful spirits within an amazing village setting. A wonderful summer gift to all!

Wonderful variety of vendors with fresh, wholesome products! Friendly, casual atmosphere for everyone. Marg Weisenburger

The Market is a perfect addition to this vibrant community; it is very well organized, with excellent venders, and well integrated with the local merchants. The street location makes an exciting atmosphere and wonderful social gathering opportunity while supporting local farmers and merchants.

Having had the wonderful experience of the former Chester Market, I can't imagine it not being even bigger and better. Plus, I value slow food anywhere, anytime.

It is the best farmers market I've ever been to. The food and merchandise on offer is the best quality, and there is sometimes live music as well. The wonderful shops of downtown Chester are open. It's like a big gathering of friends and neighbors. One could spend hours there, buying, tasting, socializing!

we think it is absolutely wonderful to have high quality foods/products available this fresh and while enjoying them, to learn a little bit about new things from the merchants and farmers. It is also great to meet you neighbors and friends there - a great community feeling.

The market provides visibility to the Chester merchants; it gives the locals and others an opportunity to be exposed to good food and ideas; it allows us to select delicious and healthy foods; and very importantly it gives all of us the feeling of community and it is a great social network. Thanks to all who have contributed to this great market experience. Patricia

This market has revitalized downtown Chester and has brought us together as Chester residents - a time to socialize and a time to support our local businesses and farmers - huzzah to the founders of the market!

Great mix of vendors. Great location right in the center of town. An altogether fun event.

Love to shop for local products in the state's most picturesque setting... the village of Chester... What was old is new again... interacting with neighbors and friends, buying products that are hand made or hand grown...brings me back to the way I imagined of a simpler, more fulfilling way of shopping. Did I mention River Tavern is right there?

I love all the local produce, meat, and fish. It is perfect for a special Sunday meal!

The Chester Sunday Market has it all! Good people, great produce and music. The great selection of food and goods brings you there and the music makes you want to linger. Sunday means... the market!

It is crucial for the people of Chester to support its own initiative. I am really impressed with the exceptionally high quality and variety of produce and other wares. The best I have seen in the area. It's great to connect with everyone in the community.

It's a real community supported market with great vendors and participation from the downtown shops and residents. Plus, the village location gives visitors a chance to experience the town as they shop.

Its a wonderful opportunity to support our local farmers and merchant but also a wonderful opportunity to stay connected with each other. The Market provides another a chance for people to cross paths and promote unity.

Artisan breads, fresh fruit jams, cheeses, vegetables for eats and to plant, flowers, seafood fresh from the docks and other delectable deliciousness, plus mingled with the tents are the fabulous shops open all year-round of jewelry, clothing, books and more, a total sensory experience!

It is amazing. There are so many great local purveyors at this market. It is right in the center of town and is such a great opportunity to buy local and catch up with neighbors we might not normally be able to see because of work schedules and busy lives.

This one is brand new, and has hit the ground running! It has already succeeded in bringing together our long-time-local and more-recently- transplanted residents together for fresh and local products, great music and leisurely conversation. Can't think of a nicer, more communal way to spend a Sunday morning---even beats the Times' Crossword Puzzle !!

This market exemplifies why I love living in Chester. Good food, nice people, low-key atmosphere,creative programming and aesthetically ...just lovely!

The Chester Sunday Market not only showcases and promotes local farmers and merchants, but serves as a convivial setting for community gathering within the confines of the beautiful New England village of Chester, Connecticut.

It brings so much to village life, a place to meet and greet and shop for local products, keeping the downtown vibrant and alive

its like a little piece of europe...wonderfully done...great music...great produce...great plants...great cheeses and meats...great people...great fun!!!

It is a fantastic way of shopping which is very European. You meet your friends and neighbors and buy the best in-season fruits and vegetables.

The warmth is felt throughout the street,you have to experience it to feel it! Can't wait to go this week!!

It is a wonderful market in the center of our pedestrian friendly village. The wide selection of vendor offerings and the involvement of our entire community and merchants makes this a very special endeavor.

Lived in Chester for 42 years and support the local farmers. Fresh produce is the best.
