Reviews for: Greencastle Farmers Market

With the good news from Punxsutawney Phil who predicted an early spring this morning, I am so looking forward to the local Farmer's Market this year. Each year it has grown and provided easy access to locally grown produce. Thanks to those who organize, plan, and set up booths each Saturday!

I took my son down to the market to see if we could find a home for an abandoned dog that we nursed back to health. We set up a table and were speaking to a couple next to us when this woman walked up to us and said that we had to leave, that animals were not allowed at the market and that if we wanted to walk around we could and gave me and my son a very rude "thank you". My son and I put our stuff up and then I realized that this woman never even introduced herself and was totally rude. I went back to her and introduced myself with my first and last name and this woman only gave her first name, "Elizabeth". When I asked her her last name and who she was, she said Elizabeth was enough for me to know and that she was in charge of the market. This woman needs to be removed from the market and reprimanded. She doesn't belong in any position dealing with the public, and was totally rude to my ten year old boy.

The Greencastle farmers' market is a wonderful expansion to one of only two Green cities in the state of Indiana.

It is an excellent forum to support local ag industry and small growers, promote the health of our environment, and strengthen our community spirit. Our farmers feed the nation and the world--as the old saying goes, if you are going to complain about the American farmer, large or small, don't talk with your mouth full!

There's worthwhile "stuff" there and it's important to buy local whenever we can!

The Farmers Market in downtown Greencastle is a hidden treasure. Come early and get great breakfast, buy amazing homemade items, listen to local musicians, landscape your home and meet your neighbors!

It's great...we need it and love it and value our local farmers. It's a wonderful part of our community!

Wonderful produce and herbs, amazing crafts including spinners, weavers, right in the center of town on the square. Great website to reach a lot of the community. Lots of entertainers to help draw new shoppers. It's great.

I love the community, the food and the music. And its only blocks away from my house!

It is a great way to spend a Saturday morning. fresh air, good friends and great produce.

There is nothing any better than fruits/veggies right off the vine and the Farmers Market is where it's at! Great job folks!

I love the fact that I can walk downtown and buy locally raised lamb, produce, plants, and other products. I also love the sense of community that we have in Greencastle. Even if I don't need anything at the market, I look forward to going every week to see friends and catch up with people I don't have time to talk to during the week.

There's only two things that money can't buy: true love and homegrown tomatoes. And local food is a great way to strengthen our community, economy, culture and quality of life!

The location is easy to get to. The produce is excellent and at right price Plus there is a nice variety of other things you can buy..

I believe farmers' market will be a substantial contribution to the economic and environmental status of Greencastle. I am glad to support it.

I love the local produce & goods, it's great to see all the people and support our local economy.

The products are of good quality, the foods are fresh, it's fun to meet friends and neighbors there, it's important to 'buy local' to support our farmers and our community.

Supporting locally grown products is a healthy choice for my family and my community!

Fresh food is the best food and gathering with neighbors to support other neighbors makes our community stronger.

This is the best thing to happen to Greencastle since I arrived two years ago. The produce is amazing, and it feels great to support local farmers. I would go just for the music, though!

I love the fresh produce and the community spirit of the market and seeing so many folks I rarely would see during the summer otherwise.

Because as a small town community we need to reach out and support our local farmers, artists and musicians with as many resources as we can muster. Why drive an hour to a Farmer's market in another city if you can create community by supporting local vendors and resources. It is also a wonderful way for friends to gather, share time and share ideas.

The produce is fresh. The crafts are unique. The music is lively. The breakfast burritos are sumptuous. And everyone goes. It''s a great place to kibitz with neighbors and make new friends on a summer morning.

We are an ag based community, and I appreciate the opportunity to purchase locally from our local citizens. And it's nice and fresh.

It is very well organized, a place where the town & gown issues of a small community and campus are left elsewhere and people from all walks converge, share, learn, reacquaint, welcome the new and serve the sustainability initiatives of our local farmers, vendors, craftsman, artists, musicians, etc.... there is something for everyone at our farmer's market!

Lots of great stuff to buy-- especially fresh produce; a chance to meet and say hi to friends; hear and play good acoustic music

We support the Greencastle Downtown Farmer's Market as a way to contribute to our community in a tangible way. Buying local helps support our county's economy, brings people together, and is a great way to spend Saturday morning! It's become a tradition in our household!

I love the fresh vegetables, baked goods and the various artists who display and sell their goods. It's also agood place to meet friends and acquaintances. Greencastle is the best!!

It's important to my family that we buy and eat fresh, organic, locally grown/produced food as much as possible. We also want to support our own community's economy. We hope the Greencastle Farmer's Market will grow and thrive so that we don't have to drive to another community to buy the kind of food that we want and need. "Keep the green in Greencastle" means more now than ever.

This effort brings the community together and gives those not having a garden to grow fresh produce to enjoy it. The crafts and the herbs are also delightful and a good family outing for a Saturday morning.

Because the market provides a venue for Putnam County residents to sell products and produce. Shopping locally cuts down on transportation costs and fuel.

The market provides strong evidence that Greencastle and the surrounding community is a thriving place with a lot going on. It's great to visit the market and purchase goods produced within just a few miles of my own home, as well as to chat with friends I happen to run into.

Lots of good, healthy food, lots of friends, lots of good music. Support for our local growers, bakers, and craftspeople

We have a community with a wonderful historic legacy, but it needs invigoration with a responsible, sustainable, progressive economic strategy of which a lively farmer's market would be an important part.

I am committed to buying locally grown produce. The Greencastle Farmer's Market not only provides this opportunity but it once again makes downtown the meeting and gathering place it used to be. It's good clean fun!

We are working hard to grow our Farmers' Market and to get Greencastle to commit to supporting our local farmers!

A great place to meet friends and buy locally produced fruits, vegetables, yarns,eggs, jewelry, jams and more!
