Our market is best because it has a beautiful setting with lots of shade trees, a HUGE variety of vendors with good stuff at good prices, and there is always something going on, some kind of demonstration or event to get involved in.

Great people. Great products. Great time. Plus you can visit the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art bike and walking trail to the construction site overlook. Make it a half day and visit the Walton 5&10 Walmart Museum.

It is the most charming acitvity and it gives Bentonville that feeling of Americana that we all crave. It is a great place to mingle, purchase fresh veggies, flowers, and crafts and is a must with for the travelers who will visit our area when the museum opens. Bentonville is becoming a real outdoors destination with all the wonderful trails, parks, and attractions for families to enjoy in a nice safe environment!

Bentonville Farmers Market allows our community to support local farmers/growers by buying local produce/products. This is vital in establishing an avenue for our community to "eat local", reducing transportation costs, fuel comnsumption and our overall carbon footprint. All this plus great produce and a fun venue to meet your NWA neighbors!

As a Chamber member my wife and I make a concerted effort to support local businesses / events. We understand the value of supporting local farmers (and crafters), that they provide high quality vegatables, fruits and more to the community. Individuals and local retailers share in the benefit of the Bentonville Farmers Market vendors..

I do the majority of my shopping at the Bentonville Farmer's Market because I feel that the products I buy are better quality than what I find in my local grocery stores. Everything just seems to taste better when it comes from the Farmer's Market. I also enjoy supporting my local farmers.The atmosphere at the Bentonville Farmer's Market is festive and my little girl loves it. It's a family outing that we take every Saturday morning.

First of all are the products, quality foods and crafts. The downtown square is the most beautiful setting for the market but mostly to bring people from the community together to be social and slow down for a bit. Kids , dogs, strollers, Grandma and Pa, are having the best time. Something for everyone. A grat way to get any day of on the right foot. Thank you DBI.

Bentonville is where I live, this year the Farmers Market has become amazing, the downtown area of Bentonville is so unique with the old renovated building, water fountain, cool street lights, but now the Farmers Market is more than it has ever been, great vendors, fresh vegetbles and other items, flowers, homemade dressings, salsa, etc. It is a friendly atmosphere that everyone enjoys the surrounding of live music being played, people singing, plus helping other make a living off what they love to do. It is a wonderful experience.

This Market is the best ever. Men and women have been faithful to come weekly and sell their wares. They are all friendly and pleasant and the quality of their work is exceptional. They too have been there for years and as a child I remember the excitement of going to the Square on Saturday morning. 57 years later I am still excited on Saturday in the summers to visit the Square and all of the friends I have made over the years. They have been long suffering! Most are there rain or shine!

The Bentonville Farmer's Market has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years! I moved to Arkansas from Seattle six years ago, and have seen this delightful Farmer's Market absolutely blossom. The setting is quintessential main street/rural America (on the historic Bentonville town square, which is also the location of the original Walton 5 & 10), and the vendors cover all the usual products: local organic produce, artisan breads, cut flowers, organic meat, crafts, etc. I grew up with the Pike Place Market in Seattle, so my standards are pretty high. Going to the Bentonville Farmer's Market is my favorite way to spend a summer Saturday morning!

I love our farmer's market. What a great way to bring people from the community together. I go every Saturday to load up on my fruit and veggies for the week. It is so affordable. I spent $9.00 last Saturday and had enough for two weeks. They also offer a variety from crafts to being able to purchase lamb.

We have a wonderful community of vendors that work hard to bring to the market the best in locally grown produce, sauces and salsas, baked goods, bulk coffees, soaps and lotions, and handcrafted items. Together with partners such as Rush Running and the Boston Mountain Cycle Club, Horizon Health Center and others, the market also offers ways to help you live better. Combine all that with live music, special programs and a beautiful location on the Downtown Bentonville Square, and I think we have a winning formula for a world class market!

Good health! Eating locally grown food (milk as well) is traditionally freer of pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, etc. & is of course fresher. I want to continue to encourage all those stalwart souls who grow food locally to continue their hard work for the rest of us who are less motivated to do what's right!
