Reviews for: Clark Park Farmers Market

In addition to being able to buy fresh vegetables, fruit, baked goods, flowers and granola, I look forward to running into friends and vendors at the Clark Park Farmers Market. Community (aswell as healthy, tasty and good food) is what it is all about! The vendors are friendly and kind. I look forward to going to the market to hear about the lives of some of the vendors (who is sick, what happened to a nephew) The vendors have become part of the community of West Philadelphia even though they may travel 2+ hours to get here. The market adds to the already wonderful community that exists around Clark Park.

It's our local market and it's awesome; this is what one is supposed to do when these 2 factors combine.

the variety, the freshness, the taste, the atmosphere all contribute to an enjoyable saturday outing to the market

It is a great place to see everyone in the neighborhood. Makes my neighborhood feel like a community.

One of my FAVORITE things about our neighborhood is the sense of community the farmers market brings to the park every week!

Great quality and variety. Next mix of farmers as well- Pennsylvania Dutch farmers, local high school students, urban farmers and local small family farms.

I love having the opportunity to buy produce directly from local farmers right in my own neighborhood.

Its gorgeous local produce, bakery, meats, and flowers. Its wonderful mix of farmers, from urban high school students to rural Amish. Its great buzz of community and diversity, with every race, class, gender, orientation and political philosophy, not to mention every breed of dog, all friendly, and located in the beautiful neighborhood park. The CP Farmers Market is the nicest place to be in the whole city, and that's saying a lot.

its the best ever. local produce, authentic people, good cheap food, and clark park is an ideal community space.....green, big, and the heart of west philly!

Delicious local veggies and baked goods, good recipes for the asking, and friendly folks.

I love having such an abundance of fresh and local foods available to me year round. The variety available is wonderful, as is the number of vendors at the market (they each have different things only adding to the variety of foods!). :) I love being able to buy nearly everything I need each week at Clark Park rather than having to go to a grocery store.

great vendors selling great locally grown food! best place to see all your friends and neighbors. The place to be in West Philadelphia.

great healthy products, friendly people, reasonable prices, what more can one ask for?

Because it's a great way of building community between food producers and food consumers. It attracts a broad demographic of users, from people with few food dollars looking for good value, to more affluent people looking for the best, freshest, and most unusual foods. And it is the best place to meet and greet your neighbors every Thursday and Saturday.

It rocks! Seriously, they have tart cherries! and rutabagas! And all the vendors are friendly and really know their produce.

Great location, incredible selection, operates year-round... friendly vendors! What more could you possibly want?

The farmers are the friendliest, the produce is the best and the diversity of products can't be beat! I always love seeing my neighbors while shopping for fresh fruits and veggies.

Clark Park farmers market has the most extensive array of produce, meats and cheeses that I have ever witnessed at an East Coast farmers market. As a proud member of the West Philly community in which this market is located I fully support and enjoy walking down to Clark Park and shopping each week.

Brings the country to the city! Yay! We need more farmers markets more often in more places

The food is really fresh and delicious, plus vendors are really nice and help create a family-like environment in a difficult neighbourhood!

Clark Park is always eventful and has the best market manager in the city and he also doubles as our local food czar!!! What more could we ask for?

We help as volunteers through our club and everyone at the Philly Food Trust is awesome

The market is in a neighborhood where the people are exceptionally open minded and love to try new foods and love to support there local farmers, me being one of them.

It is one of the best things about our community! The farmers and vendors have served us long and well and I am grateful to the farmers, vendors and organizers who make it possible.

It's a social center for the neighborhood. And, by blending into a beloved community park, it creates a tangible, pungent sensation of a rural oasis in the midst of a city. What a stress releiever!

Good local food, good local meeting place, connections to farmers who return year after year

I get the majority of my food here in the summer and fall and frequent it all winter for essentials. Eat local, go to Clark Park Farmers Market.

Always delicious in-season fruits and veggies and flowers. Great community gathering in Clark Park.

I visit the park weekly to add fresh items to my regular Philly Breakfast House menu at 5355 Woodland Avenue. I am able to offer my customer fresh Chicken sausage, Veggie Scrapple and fresh local herbs. The prices are competitve and the customer service is outstanding. In addition the market is a great place to network, weekly I find local high school students that are interested in culinary arts that I am able to share my experiences with.

I visit the Clark Park market weekly for bread, produce, fresh eggs, milk and beautiful summer flowers. I always run into friends and neighbors and often stay to listen to music. It is a fantastic community market!

Because the park is the hub of a very diverse neighborhood, the farmers market provides food to not only many ethnicities, but also the range of classes. There is really good quality high end goods, but also simply affordable fresh produce as well. While good organic locally grown produce is often out of reach for many low income families and individuals, especially those in urban areas such as Philadelphia, anyone can afford something at this farmers market. Even EBT foodstamps are accepted making healthy food accessible to everyone.

The Clark Park Farmers Market is located in wonderful Clark Park, which is a huge, beautiful urban park that encompasses two full city blocks and includes playgrounds, a dog park, basketball courts, and a large amount of green space with walkways. The farmers market is a wonderful addition bringing fresh food of many varieties to the West Philadelphia area. There are all sorts of vendors, and everyone is exceptionally pleasant. HIGHLY recommended.

Clark Park Farmers Market supplies me with fresh produce year round. I am amazed and the winter offerings at this market. I rarely have to visit any grocery store because I can get most of what I need at Clark Park Farmers Market.

STOP THE CONTEST - THE BEST MARKET HAS BEEN FOUND!!!! The Food is the FRESHEST and the staff is always knowledgeable and one worker even gave me her grandpappy's "secret" summer succotash recipe ... we have it every Sunday night!

because of the one and only amazing jon glyn who is ever so helpful and not only recommends certain produce, but also provides easy and delicious recipes taboot!

it's a wonderful resource for delicious local produce year-round, as well as a fantastic way to feel like you're part of a caring community.

The selection of produce, meats, cheese, herbs, and desserts is fantastic. Even better, though, is the chance the market provides to participate as part of an active neighborhood community every Saturday morning.

I can reliably find delicious fresh produce with useful input from the vendors. This market is also dog friendly, so I can walk around with my dog, drink my coffee, and shop. It is a great time!

It has a great line-up of goods, with friendly and helpful vendors. Excellent management. Lots of nutrition education. Beautiful setting.

Great food and fun. For the highest quality produce at extremely reasonable prices. Introduce yourself to John Glenn (dark hair and muscular build), he will go out of his way to suggest great dishes with seasonable items. He is part of the reason we return week after week.

The Clark Park farmers' market on Saturday has a great variety of fruits, vegetables and baked goods. The Thursday market is an all-star team of local growers. I especially like Urban Girls.

I have been visiting the Clark Park Farmers Market for the last 5-6 years. Each year it gets better and better, though I do miss some of the farmers that have moved on (i.e. His Kids Dairy & the Quail/duck guy). This weekend I attended the farmer's market in Headhouse square. The location was awesome, but I really didn't think it beat Clark Park. The Vendors are very friendly & helpful. I always recommend developing a relationship w/ the vendors....they are always eager to help. Often I'm able to get the "cast-offs" for my rabbits for free. I rave about Clark Park FM on my rabbit forums. Really the best...beats Headhouse in Philly & anyother market in Chgoland area!!!!!!

It brings fresh food to the neighborhood, it creates and support community, and North Star Orchards grows the best fruit I've ever eaten.

This market is fantastic. It embodies what farmers markets should be by bringing the farm to the city in a truly mutually beneficial relationship. Each week it brings our local community together with delicious and healthy, seasonal food! What could be better?!

Clark Park brings great fresh local foods to a community that is diverse in ethnicity and income levels. It also brings a sense of community to this neighborhood and enhances both the health and welfare of the people who live there. In addition, the connection that the people who shop there make with the farms who participate creates a wonderful farm to city partnership.

Local Harvest is good for all of us! My daughter, Alison, lives near Clark Park and loves this market.

I can walk to it and the love having fresh local organic produce, meat and baked goods . I like that the local high school also sells produce. It's such a great positive project for young people to be involved in.

Besides the great organic and transitional produce, flowers, meats, baked goods etc., this market is a great experience of the neighborhood. Neighbors mill about chatting, and the park is full of activity - musicians, artists, and games of all kinds. You could spend the day, and many do.

I love organic fresh picked food in season + I want farmers to survive . I hate manipulated food from big corporations, only make us sick from all the chemicals.

I appreciate the variety in vendors (amish folks from Lancaster Co., high school urban farmers, boutique fudge people) and the crowd it draws, while the kids with their foam swords battle away alongside them...

Hours (Saturdays all year), variety, quality, prices. Also parking, running into neighbors, sharing space with a few flea markets in the summer

Love it! The prices are great and what a wonderful opportunity to have fresh grown fruits and vegetagles...and the Whoppie Pies are delicious!
