They have great frest vegtables and fruits. Just love shopping there. Oh and very friendly people. Thank you so much local farmers.

CNY farmers market is a weekend must for my family. We stock up on delicious local produce for the week and enjoy the best doughnuts in the whole wide world! It is a place where we always run into friends and where we become inspired to try a new food.

It's huge, the mix of people that come out make it feel like a melting pot, and getting to talk to the people that grow your food is priceless! Not to mention supporting local economy and green healthy veggie livin'!

We are very fortunate to have this fantastic market in our city. The produce, flowers, etc. are always fresh and we are certainly supporting the local economy by buying locally.

I love the fresh fruits and vegetables and more advantageous/convenient to buy from local farmers than growing my own....:)

It's a great farmer's market, open year round selling what's in season at the time, and even has a flea market on Sundays.

Fabulous, fresh, local foods that support local farmers, including organic farmers. It's a great chance to get to know local growers.

Great location, prices, products, selection, everything! Everyone is friendly, and there's always so much to choose from, and mostly all the fruits and vegetables are so fresh! My sister and I make going to this farmer's market a priority because Saturday and the rest of the week would feel off if we don't!

This is one place i don't mind crowds. the food is fresh and delicious, the people are friendly and helpful, and the food is so varied i can easily spend too much there, even with the lowest prices! the variety is amazing as well. definately one place to visit if you want fresh vegetables in the summer!

produce, cheese, amish baked goods, organic meat and dairy items as well as veggies and fruit! The place is mobbed on Saturdays, less so on Thursdays, but both vendors and shooppers are so kind-spirited, its the one place the crowds don't bother me!

This is by far the best place to shop for healthy, local produce and products. We depend on this market to help us stay healthy.

The people here are the nicest people in the whole world. It's open in the winter, some people stay late to help, the food you buy there is delicious, and there are so many varieties of everything you'll ever need!

Because in the winter it's still there, like an old friend. In the summer, it's alive with color and healthy choices, lots of samples, lots of friends, lots of fun! I LOVE it! And, because Wendy, the meat lady, is there with the BEST in local homegrown meats at awesome prices.

The variety at the market is great and they cater to many different populations. It is great to see so many local farms and vendors.

It's the best place in Syracuse to get the freshest produce at affordable prices. The merchants ae friendly and no matter the weather market day is always fun. It's also a wonderful place to run into friends and try out new stuff as people offer samples of their wares.

The Farmers are great! The food is so fresh and delicious and the prices are just fantastic!

This market is really dedicated to the community! They provide fresh healthy produce, and other fresh items, such as cheese, honey, and baked goods. They are personable, friendly folks who always show up, rain or shine.

The biggest, most popular farmers in CNY, AND there are organic vendors! Can't be beat!

THE FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE VERY FRESH AND DELICIOUS AND I LIKE TO SUPPORT LOCAL FARMS. THEY WORK VERY HARD AND THIS IS THEIR ONLY INCOME ONLY IN SPRING, SUMMER, MANY FAMILIES RELY ON THIS INCOME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. I LOVE THE ORGANIC THAT IS SLOWLY COMING INTO THE MARKET. I GIVE THIS MARKET 5 STARS. THANK YOU

location...location...location fresh...fresh...fresh! smiles and creativity!!!

The regional farmers market in Syracuse's North Side is a remarkable resource. For over a year we have made the market almost every Saturday, and an occasional Sunday or Thursday. A huge & historic complex located on Park Street right next to the train station and the baseball stadium, it operates a small market on Thursday, a large offering on Saturdays, not to mention a flea market on Sunday which has a smattering of produce (most notably the snap beans & sunflowers in July/August) and beautiful plants for the garden.

The grand-daddy of days is the Saturday market. Saturday has an enormous offering of fresh flowers & plants, local produce of every description with an amazing selection of locally grown lettuces and greens, seasonal berries and fruits locally grown and harvested, several sellers of baked goods and fine breads (Heidelberg & Black River are my favorite), chocolates, gourmet pasta, fresh fish, local wines, fine handmade jewelry from a local potter (Roundrabbit), fresh milk and yoghurt & the famous "grasiago" cheese (Wake Robin Farm), canned fruits and preserves, kimchee, a maker of hummus, many many cheeses, huge dill pickles, free range eggs, excellent pretzels, high quality & very affordable natural handmade soaps (Syracuse Soapworks), an elderly maker of exotic biscotti, and many surprises. We even bought currants a few weeks ago, a rare find.

Anybody who has traveled would instantly recognize the quality and the impressive scale of this market against what other major cities have to offer. It has perhaps more sellers of non-farmer goods than is fashionable in the fancy markets like Pike Place (Seattle), or the strictly organic market in Ithaca, but it adds another level of possibility for shopping. The atmosphere i the warm weather is always friendly and the pace brisk, and the earlier you arrive the better. 10-11 am seems to be rush hour and the energy fades around 1 pm when several of the sellers have sold out and are packing up for home. There is plenty to be had well after that time however.

For eats, there are a few breakfast and bagel sellers (Dogs on Wheels is very popular), donuts & fried dough, fish sandwiches from the fish seller that are irresistible, Laotian, and more. The healthy choice is to snack your way through the market on greens and beans, and sample enough excellent local wine to leave in a very relaxed state. Pheasant Ridge winery out of Jamesville is maestro of fruit wines who does small runs that sell out fast.

We spend much less time in the supermarket these days and instead try to stretch our Saturday purchases to the next Saturday, always anticipating what will be new at the regional. As a result we have been eating much better and saving a surprising amount on our grocery budget.
