Reviews for: Warwick Valley Farmers Market
However, that all changed when the irritating "No Dogs Policy" was instituted. As a result, we discovered we like to visit stores at the farms themselves which are open on Saturdays and Sundays with much lower prices and better selections. So we get in our car and drive! And we do not patronize the over- priced Farmer's Market any more.
Some of our favorite farms decided that they did not want to drive down from upstate without their family dogs in their truck-so several stopped going to the Warwick Market too-the market charged them too much to be there to make it worthwhile. Less great vendors have replaced them.
Suburban attitudes have come to Warwick and much of the charm is fading with the high property taxes and irritating ideas like having markets where little dogs cannot walk on a leash in the market for no good reason.
This is supposedly because of "Insurance" but it is really not, for if you lived in Warwick Village as I do, you would know that the leash law in NOT ENFORCED for PIT BULLS that live within a block of my home.I live in fear that these attack dogs will come on my property. Must I construct a high white plastic fence that every other property in Queens has for the same reason?To Keep Pit Bulls Out?
It is only a matter of time before someone is attacked by one of them or by the well known 800 lb bear that roams Warwick Village in broad daylight as well as at night.. So much for the "Insurance" issues of Warwick Village Farmer's Market!!!
PS This past spring, a teen was bit by a local "pet" pit bull at the Warwick HS track and had to have rabies shots. The breed has a verified brain abnormality (from breeding) that sets off sudden attacks on people. It is NOT a matter of the people who own the pit bulls or of their training, it is a proven genetic flaw.
There are more than a few farms and businesses that sells all of the items above, so you can try them all and see what you like best.
It's also right in downtown Warwick where there are shops, restaurants, and cafes to visit as well!
Comment
i love the warwick farmers market! i look forward to it every season and have told many friends about it who also like to support our local farmers. i find its nice to go on sunday morning and get local produce and i love the selection of fresh flowers. to the comment on dogs i myself own a pitbull and he is the most loving and obedient dog ever. so i feel sorry that you have wrong information on the breed itself. unfortunatley many people usually not dog owners dont understand that it usually is the owner not the dog that gives this breed a bad reputation. on that note i look forward to may when spring is here and the farmers market is open
