Reviews for: Sunday Walnut Creek Certified Farmers Market

Sunday visits to the Walnut Creek farmers market were always the highlight of my week when i lived in California. The food was always scrumptious, the sales people delightful and the atmosphere festive. Samples of mouth watering peaches and other fresh fruits abound and unusual delicacies from the Middle east are on display. You can even have you knives sharpened. The whole spectrum of fresh food seafood to bake goods is in sight. One must try the cinnamon kettle corn. I miss strolling thorough the fresh cut flowers and hearing the music and friendly conversation of vendors and visitors. It is a true delight!

While I no longer live near Walnut Creek the market there will always be one of my best memories. The produce was fresh and wonderful, the variety of it was stunning. I would plan my year around the items that I would know were coming. In the spring I would spend a delirious month working with fava beans. Mid-summer would see the return of the heirloom tomatoes followed by the Buddha hand Citreons as the holidays neared. Each week was special and different. To top it off, there was an ancient oak that had been colonized by wild bees in the middle of the market. Year round they would make their forays into the surrounding area for pollen and nector. What a great treat this market was.

I shop there every Sunday. The produce is beautiful and fresh, the farmers are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Although they may not be certified organic, most of the produce is organic,no sprays, waxes, pesticides, or fungicides. They are always there, rain or shine.

There is a good number of vendors of both fresh and prepared foods, including some very local farms, which I prefer to even those in the central valley, and north, and parking and navigating the market is easy. I also like the selection of prepared foods. ANd the prices aren't outrageous. It woud be great if this market won, as I would really like to see even more local organic produce and meats and fish than we have now. It would be great if the fish monger had a wider selection and could assure us of line caught and which waters their products come from, and ideally we would have a number of butchers, fresh eggs, local cheeses, and more fish. I would love to see more organic stalls. I think it also could benefit from more music to become as great as , say, the San Luis Obispo Thursday market, and the Pismo market.

There are many vendors selling their beautiful produce, and theere is a nice mix of farmers and prepared food vendors and craftspeople. But most of all I enjoy the bounty of ORGANIC PRODUCE and the kind, earthy people selling them.

The Sunday Walnut Creek Certified Farmers' Market has fabulous produce and other products. It's so great to just stroll and shop on Sundays.

I like the Sunday Walnut Creek Certified Farmer's Market, because it carries fresh food items from local growers. We need the be eating fresher and local on a regular basis. Carol

The Sunday Walnut Creek Certified Farmers Market has great vendors and a fabulous selection of produce, and other items. Parking is easy and free. I have never been disappointed with anything I have purchased there, and I love knowing that what I buy has been produced locally.

The Walnut Creek Farmers Market is is the best I know of in this area. It is well managed and offers a place for our local small farms (many of them organic!) to meet with and sell there outstanding produce, eggs and sustainably raised meats to the public. Also a great place to meet like minded folks and listen to some great local musical talent.

I love, love, love, the Sunday Walnut Creek Farmer's Market run by Contra Costa Certified Farmers organization. The selection is awesome, the market is well run, the people, manager's and attendant's are quality people, and the ambience makes it worthy of a special and unique Sunday destination!

The personal attention by the vendors. They knew me (after only a few visits), and they remembered what I like. They have even sendt me to another stand if they don't have "my usual". And, we have seen the market evolve from the Library lot to the Locust St. setup. And to think, Bakesale Betty used to have a stand, too!

Keith does a great job organizing it! I can actually talk to the growers and buy with conficence.

1. large amount and variety of organic fruit and vegetables 2. easy parking 3. friendly and helpful market staff 4. great music every week

I come all the way from Martinez because of the great produce, great people and it's open all year! What more can you ask for?

I love this market. I have been involved with this farmers' market for 15 years and it is a part of my life as are all the wonderful people that make this market great.

They truly care about bringing fresh local produce to people that would generally never shop for it. The warm and friendly environment is unlike anything this town has ever seen.

This Farmers' Market is the best in the area at a convenient location and time. The variety of fresh produce is outstanding. Even though I have markets closer, I like the vendors best here.

My husband and I have enjoyed purchasing fresh, local produce at the Walnut Creek Farmers Market for many years. The vendors are friendly and knowledgeable and the music is first rate. I feel part of a community shopping outside amongst my neighbors and friends.

Walnut Creek Farmers Market is a happening place every Sunday . They have 2 wonderful music booths, lots of fresh, local produce from an array of farmers. There's a variety of vendors selling ethnic foods, local honey and nuts, as well as sustainably raised meat. A wonderful market with a nice community feel. A perfect place to spend your morning with your family.

Excellent selection of fresh produce, friendly vendors, Stan the Apple Man's incredible heirloom apples, delicious local honey, All-Star's rockin' tamales, plenty of parking, a great manager(go Keith!), convenient location, fun music, community building, the works!

Great produce and great friendly vendors - I only miss going to the Market if I am out of town

It is well organized, has great healthy foods, includes a careful selection of vendors and has wonderful community feel. I vote for Sunday Walnut Creek Certified Farmers' Market as the best!

I support the Walnut Creek Certified Farmers Market because it is well run and organized. The vendors are friendly and the setting is very nice. Parking is plentiful, as well. As a vendor, we are appreciated for the quality of our products and the support of our staff. As a customer, I really like the array of certified organic produce which is available.

I find the Walnut Creek Farmers' Market to be the best in the area. There are more venders and more variety and better quality. I won't shop at any other farmers' market. I especially love the delicious fruit and tomatoes in the summer.

It's a family friendly place, the produce is the best, and freshest. All the vendors are very friendly.

Where else can you pick up the tastiest organic fruits and veggies at good prices grown by local vendors and get a massage? Then top it all off with a fresh cup of coffee and a yummy pastry and you're all set to go for the week!

I have regular vendors I see and it's like family. I love the variety of produce down to multiple types of lettuce, tomatoes, peaches, etc whatever is in season. There is a set of tables that is just greens with masking tape price markers. Quick, easy peazy, fresh and healthy. Then there's the music wafting over the air. I see friends to catch up on news, and make plans for future get togethers . It's the best. FS

I am honored with the privelidge of working for this market as a market assistant. I am lucky as a teen to have such a great job that I can firmly say I enjoy doing. This market is like one big family, and it's wonderful how everyone seems to get along so well.

I have been going to this market since I was born. It has always been fun and the people who run it are the best. Since it moved to the new place, it is a hundred times better and it was the best before. I love the farmers and the other sellers especially the kettlecorn guy. Hope you guys win!

It is truly a community market where we can have food all year and visit with neighbors.
