Reviews for: Collierville Farmers Market

This market would be much better if it catered more to the small time grower or home gardener. This would also allow the availability of different types of produce, ect, rather than the same thing and the same dealers every week. Most small timers cannot meet all the demands that the market "leaders" require. i.e., application forms and letters, county extension agent letter, having to be present in your space every week, certified kitchen, ect. ect.

I also highly doubt that some of the dealers meet the requirements of only selling what they grow. I have personally seen them 2 years in a row now taking produce out of boxes that you would buy at a wholesalers market. There is no way that they personally grow the 10-15 different items on their tables.

I would much rather see more small vendors selling a variety of home-grown, fresh local produce than this version of a "local" farmers market. I'll take my business elsewhere.

I love the Collierville Farmers Market because of its small town feel. Everyone is so friendly and nice and my son loves the banjos playing.

I love the variety of vegetables and fruit offered by local farmers, the friendly atmosphere, and seeing friends and co-workers there!

Locally grown produce, small town county fair atmosphere, see/visit friends there.

Not just a farmers market, it lends old time ambience to the gorgeous and historic town square, and it is fast becoming a weekend community event. Families together. Babies in strollers. Barry the guitar guy sining and kids dancing. Dogs (on leashes). Old friends meeting again after a long time. This is what it is all about. Wish we had a covered pavillion over the parking lot.

I love having locally grown produce available. It brings the small town atmosphere back to Collierville. I love watching my daughter explore the produce and interact with the people.

The farmers market is one of the ways we can support the local farmers and keeps our town special!

Even though I don't live in C'ville anymore, going thru the square is something I do frequently; having the famers market there is an awesome convenience, but more than that I remember when I moved to C'ville in the early 80's as a young teen and remembering how quaint even then that I thought the venders were that set up on the square. Having the farmers market in C'ville gives back a bit of that small town feeling.

The food is really fresh and I like to support local businesses -- plus it just adds a lot to the Town Square area. It gives me a reason to go there and then I end up shopping in the stores, going to Square Beans, etc.

They have veggies there that you can't find at a grocery store or in my own garden, like "Lady Peas". Plus, it's good business to spend locally.

It's the closest one to my house and they all have great variety! The vendors need somewhere to get recieve profit and the citizens of Collierville are glad to let them do it there, so continue to let them do it!

Because they are a wonderful addition to the community atmosphere in Collierville.

It helps us to retain our small town charm, extends our friendliness, supports our vendors, stimulates our town while making friends and having fun simultaneously, and promotes unity. It is just the Christian thing to do!

I love being able to get fresh vegetables and fruit from local growers AND having it convenient to my house. I also have enjoyed the cinammon whipped honey.

I don't live in Collierville anymore and I can't tell you how much I wish I did...it is things like the Farmer's Market that keep Collierville, Collierville! Don't grow into another Germantown, keep it !!!

It is our home. Collierville residents must support their community. That is what has made Collierville strong. The stronger it grows the larger it becomes. People want to live here because it is a safe place to raise children. It would not be safe if the community did not support each other. We can be proud to be part of such as great commmunity.

My husband and I love the farmer's market and think its a great idea to be supporting our local farmers. Please continue bringing the farmer's market to Collierville. Thanks.

This has been a part of Collierville forever and I'd rather support local farmers around here then any where else.

I love the farmer's market. They have great food at great prices and it is so nice to be able to get them close to home. The vendors are nice and it's great to actually speak to the person who grew the food you are eating. Please keep it going!

fresh, local produce at fair prices is a great addition to our community. My family visit every week!

I have wanted a Farmer's Market in Collierville for years. I am so excited to finally have fresh produce available ESPECIALLY fresh locally grown produce! Thank you to everyone who has gotten this wonderful farmer's market off the ground. I think it will only get better and better...see you Saturday!

The food is incredibly fresh, and the people are so friendly. I love going there!

I love being able to see all the wonderful farmers and the pride they take in their produce! I also love being able to see the community support our local growers , and being able to thank them for providing us with such beautiful fruit and vegetables!

It is a part of Collierville history! A place where you can see exactly who grew the produce and talk with them. It is a link to the small town feel that makes Collierville charming!

Stimulates the economy by buying fresh and local, and promotes health and prosperity in the community

Fresh produce, great selections, reasonable prices. And locally grown--not shipped in from out of state or out of country.

i support everything that goes on in our town been here all my life and love to see things happen in our town

Some of the best fresh produce around and we are guaranteed it's grown locally... The farmers are always helpful with new ways to prepare the produce and we are finding a larger variety of new and interesting veggies to try. We found this great vendor who sell organic heirloom tomatoes that are just fantastic!

I love buying local. There is nothing like eating fresh veggies that were picked the day of purchase or the day before, instead of a week ago. Everyone is helpful and friendly. These folks are hard working and providing a service that we desperately need.

The produce is great and I always love to buy from people who have worked hard to grow/build something rather than at mass stores. I was also born and raised here in Collierville and have recently moved back and I want to support my hometown!

Growing up we always stopped and bought fresh vegetables from road side stands. I have been longing for that for a long time. Fresh Grown Local is the best! Thank you or bringing it to Collierville

It is close to us and the vegetables are sooo good. I appreciate the kindnesses and helpfulness of the different vendors I've dealt with. I've been able to make my mom's old fashioned canned soup with the vegetables I've gotten from your market which I couldn't have gotten from the store. I just love it.

The vendors are knowledgeable and helpful and have given my kids free samples! It's wonderful to have fresh, local produce so conveniently located. What an asset for our community!

The convenience of having fresh vegetables is very nice. The farmers are very helpful.

I am so happy to have a good selection of locally grown produce available in such a convenient location!

The Collierville Farmers Market has been such a win/win endeavor! The vendors (farmers) are great! I have bought some of the very best silver queen corn I have ever had the pleasure to eat in my life (from mr zong at the very end) the organic tomatoes, pecans and honey are amazing and I have never regretted buying anything from the peach world farm! The farmers are nice and polite - all the customers seem to be having a ball - and I am so proud of all the people who stepped up and gave up hours of their precious time to volunteer. The farmers market would not be where it is today (and it is just 6 weeks old) without the amazing volunteers who make it happen! Go Collierville!! Yeah! Go Farmers Market!

Fresh produce, locally grown, not shipped across the country, a wide variety of fruits and veggies, the small-town atmosphere, and my new favorite item is the creamed honey. DELICIOUS! Thanks for bringing the farmers market to Collierville. See you Thursday :-)

Because it is nice to know that the veggies are grown from their own gardens and that I do not have to drive to Germantown to get what I need. I will vist this one every week where the other it was about one to two times a year.

I like spporting the local farmers. The vendors and volunteers are all friendly, making shopping for fresh foods fun. I been every week and look forward to coming. Thanks for bringing this to our community!

It's locally grown produce at a market with enthusiastic vendors, organizers, and shoppers. It puts the faces of the farmers that we meet on each tomato, zucchini, watermelon and peach that we eat, giving my kids (and me) a better understanding of where our food comes from.

It's great to support local farmers in our own town. You can ask questions like how to cook things. There's a wonderful sense of community among the shoppers that I didn't expect to see so soon!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having fresh veggies and fruits almost like having them in my own backyard!

My husband's birthday was last week-end, & he loves fresh home cooked vegetables for his special day. It was so nice to go into our town to purchase all the goodies. We have truely enjoyed having the market here, even went out in the rain this Sat. Really looking forward to the fresh eggs that are hopefullt coming this week.

Incredible selection of fresh fruits and veggies- and locally grown! We've waited so long for the market to come to Collierville and look forward to additional vendors and products.

I visit Collierville on a regular basis since my daughter lives there. I can tell by the crowds that folks are enjoying the fresh veggies and the opportunity of visiting with the vendors and their neighbors. It is a GOOD thing!

Great selection of fresh groceries, with friendly staff... not to mention easily accessible in a fun and relaxed environment!!

I work in Collierville and have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the farmers market. It is convenient and the venders are great.

I love having this large market at out doorstep. The vendors are all wonderful and not playing cutthroat. The tomatoes make the tomato sandwiches to die for. Actually bought my first egg plant and ate it, going back for two more Saturday. My Dad said the purple peas were the hest he had eaten in a very long time.

I am thrilled to have a farmer's market in this area. I look forward to its growth.

I love buying from local farmers. There is no comparison to the produce you get from the locals and what is in the grocery stores, it's so much better!

Not only is it accross the street from the best milkshake shack around, it save on fuel for the many people in East Shelby County and surrounding area. Because of the local market, my kids have been asking to try new fruits and veggies. Last week we bought an egg plant. Grandma will cook it for us this week!

I love all the produce and it's so great to have it so close to home in Collierville. The purple cherokee tomatoes are to die for! I had never had them before.

Since Easy Way left their Poplar Ave location several years ago, we have had no way of getting farm-fresh and local vegatables here in Collierville. Now we can finally buy local foods that were picked ripe, rather than that other disgusting way, that gives one color but not taste or nutrition, and that adds chemicals such as msm and artificial colors. Hooray!

Awesome new farmer's market! Can't beat the quality and prices while at the same time supporting our local farmers. The raspberry jelly we bought last week was delicious melted and drizzled on the fresh peaches!

I support all local vendors and especially those that work in the fields to provide fresh veggies for us. This is a wonderful addition to Collierville and should be embellished and continued. The tomotoes I bought were so good my guest raved abotu them. I wish I have the know how to grow beatifukl veggies, lke those I see at the market. The growers are pleasant and careful to place you purchases in a bag, so you can take hem home and enjoy them.

I love the idea of shopping for fresh produce directly from the farmer! Being a gardener myself, I can appreciate the hard work that a small farmer puts into his products. I love being outdoors shopping and it's a great way for socializing with friends and neighbors. I can make an event of shopping at the Farmer's Market and asking my friends to go with me (compared to NOT asking my friends to go to the local grocery store with me - boring). I support the local farmers, which in turns, supports my town's local economy.

Best selection, more vendors, compliments the old town square and train station ambiance, and is the only place in town to get locally grown fruits and veggies and products made from them.

The people are friendly and very nice. The produce is excellent - in variety, display and taste.

It is so nice to have farm-fresh produce right here in Collierville. The vendors are nice and friendly. I've gotten fantastic tomatoes, corn, peaches, and blueberries at the market. I love it!

Local produce, community coming together, beautiful town sqaure and helping to invigorate the area!! What's not to like??!

I think that it is important to support the local people, because that is what a small town community does.

I live in Collierville and I am thrilled to be able to get great local produce 5 minutes from my home instead of having to drive 30 mintues to get purchase it.
