Reviews for: Franklin Club Market

Franklin is a wonderful town and the CURB Market makes it even better. We love knowing that the food is always fresh.

Saturday morning market brings back memories of my Mother coming home with beautiful gladiolas along with fresh fruits and vegetables!

Franklin is one of my favorite small towns and this is a great way to support its local farmers and merchants!

It is an icon. It has always been there and is a great place to meet friends. There is great fresh produce every Wednesday and Saturday.

It's a great place to pick up locally grown produce and spend time with great people. We love the organic spinach and salad greens and the baked goods are fantastic.

It supports local farmers as well as downtown merchants. I can't imagine being in town without Curb Market. It also is a place where you meet friends.

I like fresh vegetables and fruit and the Franklin Club market is a good place to find them.

It just resonates small town community...with alot of wonderful stuff, for us to eat or use in our homes! The people are friendly and helpful, too.

They continue the tradition of farmers (small and big) bringing good wholesome food to people who can meet the growers face to face.

Early Saturday mornings in Franklin take you to the Curb Market where friends and family stroll the traffic island and chat with local farmers, vendors and artists. It is the perfect way to begin your weekend, buying great, fresh produce, baked goods, organic nuts, honeys and even handmade jewelry. It is the perfect example of small town life as it was and continues to be for all of us lucky to be in walking or biking distance of downtown and our favorite Saturday morning haunt.

Think global, eat local is my motto and the Franklin Curb Market makes that happen. At this time of year, before much produce is available, folks at curb market sell a lot of produce that's not really local, that is actually grown in Venango County, but I prefer to buy there because its so good to get out in such a beautiful outdoor place, to meet and greet my neighbors and vendors and to support the local economy.

Franklin,PA. represents the classic "Home Town" feeling, and enjoys the interest of many community leaders working to preserve that small town feeling.

Need produce that is fresh, tasty and, in most cases, cheaper than the local grocery store? Go to Franklin Curb Market. It's by the Venango County courthouse and fountain park. Beautiful setting, friendly vendors, nice place to spend a part of your morning.

Franklin Farmers Market is a grand gathering spot on Saturday mornings. We see many wonderful friends and love the fresh produce, yummy baked goods and crafts.

My dad once sent me a big red tomato from Curb Market-- all the way to Texas. It arrived intact -- I served slices to Texas friends who had never tasted such a tomato! Another time we brought butter and sugar corn on the cob back to Texas in a U-Haul. Our car smelled like corn for a few weeks after that. A trip to Franklin isn't complete without a visit to Curb Market! Can't wait til summer 2009!

This is the best Farmers Market in the entire U.S.A. If it is good, if it is fresh it from the Franklin Club Market. SPY

I can remember going to the Franklin Curb Market 60 years ago with my grandparents. That was the thing to do on Saturday morning. You saw everyone in town!!

What wonderful, fresh local produce. An entertainment in itself to walk among the vendors on a lovely Spring Saturday

local markets serve everyone---the lcal growers and the buyers who get the freshest food available!

We support all local food markets: buying food raised close to home helps farmers who grow it; provides fresh, local produce for consumers; and contributes to a decreased carbon footprint when produce is not trucked in. It is also a wonderful way to meet and greet those who live and work in your area.

Local fresh fruit and vegtables are really healthy and support our local economy

It's a great way to show your support for local home businesses. Whether it be fresh locally grown produce, honey, berries of the season, yummy baked goods or even a unique hand crafted gift, you can find it all at Franklin Curb Market!! Oh yes, and all the folks are friendly too!!!

Eating locally is good for health as well as the community's economy. Franklin's market has a beautiful backdrop!

Living in a small town with great character appeal is wonderful. The Franklin Curb Market adds to the charm and the character appeal of our town.

I remember that market while growing up in Franklin. It was fantastic. We lived a block away and my family ate many a healthy meal from those carts.

I've been returning to the Franklin Market every summer that I can since the late 50's - always great stuff! I'll be there this summer, for sure!

I grew up in Franklin and I went with my mother to the Farmers market. Many fond memories of Franklin.

I grew up in Franklin and in my younger years frequently accompanied my mother to the farmers market. She knew many of the vendors by name and I recall some wonderful conversations. My mother was an excellent cook; I imagine the fresh fruits and vegetables made the meals even better! I return to Franklin every five years without fail to celebrate a festival reunion with fellow members of the class of 1960. I always look forward to a casual stroll through the farmers market. I don't plan to cook anything, but of all my memories of Franklin, the farmers market is one of the very best. Look for me next year (2010) because I will surely be there.

I used to live in Franklin and went to farmers market as a kid...my father still lives there and goes to the market.

Friendly people, fresh produce, lovely plants and flowers,great cheeses, homemade baked goods in a lovely little town setting by the county courthouse. Who could ask for anything more!!

I have been to open air markets from Maine to Virginia and Franklin is my favorite because of the variety and quality of the people as well as the produce. We will keep coming back, all the way from Fredericksburg, VA!

I, too, grew up in Franklin 50 years ago. I well remember Saturday walks with my family to the Farmers' Market. In recent years, when visiting Franklin during the summer, I bring several pounds of my favorite ham loaf back to Colorado. The best I've every tasted!

The Franklin Farmers' Market is one of my special memories of living in Franklin close to 50 years ago. The beautiful flowers, fresh vegetables and baked items were a Sat. morning highlight!

The vegetables are locally grown and fresh. When the season comes for strawberries or corn we get the best ever. We try to support our local farmers and this is the best way possible.

It's the best! Fresh vegetables and fruit, Gahr's Hamloaf, seasonal decorations. And the best back drop in the state, our courthouse!

I totally agree with Amy but wanted to get the name corrected. It wouldn't matter except that there is a Franklin 'Club' and the Curb market is further down Liberty Street on the island by the Court House.

The Curb Market has gotten better and better over the years with the addition of so many new people and items. The brown eggs are a specialty and so reasonably priced.

There is also an 'Open Aire Market' in the park next to the Curb Market. Look for more and more to happen on Wednesday and Saturday mornings in beautiful downtown Franklin.

I have loved this market for years! It is very small and you never know who will be there. It is all local stuff-my favorites are Brown's maple syrup and the egg man.
