Reviews for: Rice University Farmers Market

Friendly folks offer the best poducts in terms of variety, quality and freshness. And it's FUN!

love going there to have great veggies, cheeses, breads, desserts, noodles, and more!! plus now there are animals available for adoption and i like to go say hello to them.

I love the fresh-local products in one convienient place! Who could ask for more?

It's a low-key, well run market with a wide range of vendors and products, all of which are high quality. The vendors are friendly and informative, always willing to talk about what they have and how it can be used/fixed/eaten/consumed. It's unpretentious and makes me feel very welcome and the quality is top-notch.

I love the vendors, they are happy and willing to chat with you about their wares.

I lived in Houston for years and moved away recently. I miss many things about Houston. Among the top few include the Houston Farmers Market!

It's a great idea. We not only get fresher and healthier produce, we also get to support our local farmers and keep the earth green. The Houston Farmers Market has a great selection of food and goods and it's so conveniently located that everyone can make the time to grab their weekly groceries.

I have loved it for years!! The Rice U location has given a convenient location.

I enjoy wandering around, shopping and talking to all the of vendors. There is a great selection of veggies, baked goods, eggs, meats, flowers, etc...I try to support the Tuesday Farmers Market as much as I can. It is so convenient to where I work and having it during the work week saves me from having to drive back in to downtown for the weekend markets.

Houston Farmers Market has quality fresh vegetables are the time, it is a great place to shop.

It's conveniently located in the center of town, friendly, neighborly, fun, and has great and varied produce and other interesting foods and services.

friendly organizers and vendors, variety of choices, information and education and high quality of products

They support local foods, the vendors are helpful and friendly and the food is tasty and fresh.

I go to the Onion Creek location every Saturday--the vendors are reliable and products good.

A wonderful little market with great items and the best folks to share about what they have!! Its a great place to spend a little time and go home with good food for you and your family.

They offer the biggest and freshest variety of fruits, vegetables, bath and body care, foods, etc., at fair prices. It's a special and relaxing treat I do for myself every week. I love supporting my local farmers and artists!

Always fresh produce and grass-fed beef in a convenient location. Friendly vendors selling their own products. Emails let me know what is available.

They have such a wide variety of products. They also have a cooking instruction, and you can count on them, they're always there at the scheduled time. They also email me which helps keep my attention.

because I support local producers , you get to talk to them , learn about the produce and its personal. I love knowing who is growing the food that goes in my mouth.

Fresh, organic, personal..you are face to face with the farmers. Supporting their efforts.

The Houston Farmer's Market has a lot of vendors, more than many other the other local markets I've shopped at.

This market close to my job so I can easily bike there, and near many other folks' homes and jobs so they can do the same. The selection is robust and growing, and the vendors are great to converse with.

Location is about one mile from my house. Because it is open in the afternoon, I can come after work. Compared to another nearby market, it has a larger number of vendors and a bigger variety of items.

The Houston Farmer's Market has what I need when it is in season. The vendors are friendly,courteous, and willing to tell you about their produce/ products and why they grow/ sell their wares. The Saturday Market serves a great need in the north Houston area.

This is a struggling little market that has the power to change the way people see local produce. It's continued support is critical!

Great variety of the best growers and producers in the area, and sometimes live music. Once I even met a baby goat there (see photo)! Best place to get the best stuff!

I love the variety of fruits and vegetables. I recently went to their wine tasting and thoroughly enjoyed the Texas wines and the live music.

I value the cheeses, fruit, vegetables, and especially the grass-fed meats ... plus the healthy, happy smiling folks who clearly love their labor.

We love the friendly, enthusiastic people who sell there, as well as the very best tasting fresh veggies.

HFM has a lot of variety, and it's one of the few farmers' markets in the area that can be visited on a weekday.

The variety of products and fresh produce is amazing and the vendors are friendly and helpful! IT's great that in a place as big city as Houston you can find wonderful, local, fresh products.

It is one of the friendliest places I have visited and the vendors are wonderful about sharing information with you; plus their newsletter is informative and interesting. The products I have purchased have been top notch and are what the suppliers say they are.

I especially love fresh yard eggs, fruit, veggies and knowing most things are grown locallly.

We look forward to going to it and we enjoy the items we buy there more than at the grocery store. My daughter has learned alot about where food comes from and that other families grow it. A good lesson when you live in a city.

The people are so wonderful at the Houston Farmers Market. Everyone is so willing to not only tell you about their products, but also share entertaining ideas and tips. Everything is so fresh and the variety of products is spectacular. Everything from fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, spices, soy candles and organic doggie treats.

Houston Farmers Market always has fresh vegetables & fruits. There employes are nice & friendly, and always greet you with a smile when they wait on you.

Ease of use! The Tuesday Rice U. market is so easy to drop by and get midweek supplies/food.

I love the varities of vendors. I'm in love with fresh fruits & veggies- corn, peaches, berries, watermelon, tomatoes, cantalopes, cheese, milk, bread, herbs, flowers, gelato, sweet treats, chair massage, knife sharpening, meats, Indian food, doggie treats, spring rolls, sprouts, cucumbers, edamame, carrots, zucchini & eggplant. I always like to eat my veggies raw rah at ya yas!

The food is fresh and delicious and the director,Carol Claverie, is friendly and helpful with information on cooking and recipes.

The products are top quality; the vendors are very helpful with recommendations; and the location has easy access, ample parking and convenient hours.

I love the farmers and growers and cheesemakers and have been supporting this market since the first weekend years ago at Onion Creek. I love the Tuesday markets now especially.

In Texas it's hard to find good quality locally grown food. The Houston Farmers Market is a jewel, it provides us with the very best of the locally grown produce, eggs and other food products.

I support them because they promote local farmers and organic growing practices.

This just-expanded market finally meets the size of the need and interest in Houston's local food!

i love fresh fruitsand vegetables, i grew up eating vegetables and fruits from my uncle's farm, so i know the difference in fresh and the stuff that is sold in supermarkets.

This is a dedicated group of small farmers and other food producers that show up rain or shine with fresh and healthy product.

They are a small non-profit but they are able to provide quality products on a limited budget - and they are all very nice!

Fresh foods grown and prepared by local area people. I prefer to support individual growers and producers rather than chain stores. It boosts our economy and helps to keep us healthy. Also, there is great community among the merchants and customers. Win/win

It is convenient, even for those of us who live quite a distance, and has lots of variety.

This market is growing and adding new categories of local food all the time. It is one of the only mid-week markets around.

The market has a wonderful assortment of local ranchers, growers and artisan food vendors who work hard to bring the best of sustainable, local and TASTY vegetables, fruits, meat, milk, cheeses and prepared foods to Houston each Tuesday on the Rice University campus. Each vendor is committed to wholesome, local foods.

I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped by the Houston Farmer's Market at Rice University last Tuesday. There were atleast 30 vendors that ranged from locally grown fruits and vegetables, wine tastings, live music and gelato. I have read a few articles about the markets and was curious as to what "all the hype" was about. I would definitley go again and recommend you stop by. My surprise of the night was that the farmer's, themselves were selling their goods. I asked plenty of questions and no one seemed to be annoyed. The effort was worth the drive.
