Reviews for: West Chester Growers Market

my daugher lives in West Chester and three of my children went to college there the market is a great place to encourage the twenty somethings to eat local and support the farmers

Not only the most affordable, delicious, fresh produce available...along with the most amazing granola I have ever tasted....the atmosphere is fun with music and positive, enthusiastic, and upbeat vendors who are warming and welcoming to answer questions and offer advice!

The growers market has many different vendors that allow you to do your weekly produce shopping. Even though I have not made it there as frequently as I would like, I find that the products are of high quality, and the sellers genuinely care about selling the best they have.

great food and products, live music, sense of community I cant survive a Saturday without it!!!!!

WCGM provides a wonderful variety of produce and other healthy, back to nature products. With the meats, cheese, eggs and produce, I can do almost all of my food shopping in one place. Since I am not inclined to grow my own garden, I greatly appreciate all the hard work they do to provide healthy and nutritious food for my family.

it is a great place to see local people enjoying themselves getting fresh foods from our wonderful local farmers !!! it's another reason for making west chester special !!!

The food is very good, the people are all friendly, it's produced locally, and it's all fresh as can be. We grew to love local markets when we visited in Europe and are very happy to see (and support) comparable local growers markets.

What a lovely summer ritual. Locally grown food just tastes so much better! We enjoy meeting our neighbors and talking to the growers. Everyone is passionate about eating wholesome and delicious food. We especially love NorthStar farms and Lindenhof meats!

I love it there...so nice and clean and has plenty of fresh fruit and veggies! Can't ask for more then that!

Great selection of fruits, vegetables, cheese, meats, flowers and other wonderful items like mushrooms, homemade soaps and honey. I've gotten to know the farmers and tried alot of new items like chinese long beans, heirloom tomatoes and some amazing trump mushrooms.

Delicious food, and fun community atmosphere. Children, pets, young and old and everybody is smiling!

Since the deer eat almost everything I plan before it is ready to be harvested, is there another choice?

Truly a farmers market! Everything there is actually grown by the vendors. Very fresh local fruits and vegetables.

Fresh, flavorful fruit and veggies, nice people...beats the supermarket hands down!

Great variety of growers from grass fed beef and poultry, sheep & goat's milk cheeses, and a whole range of produce, flowers, and fruit. Always a perfect Saturday morning.

I love North Star Orchard's produce in particular - amazingly delicious and fresh fruits and veggies. Can't beat it!

They have a wonderful selection of fruit and vegetables and you ALWAYS know that it is local and fresh. All of the venders are friendly and helpful.

We love walking there on Saturday mornings and finding a wide array of flowers, fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses! The live music every week is an added bonus!

WCGM has the most delicious, best produce locally grown!!!! The flower lady on the front corner is the most beautiful flowers and the woman that makes her own soap is great!! I love supporting our local growers and it really is a highlight on Saturday mornings!

My hometown market is immensely important in the community, providing delicious, affordable, sustainable food in a friendly and accomodating atmosphere.

I love feeding my family fresh, delicious food, and that is exactly what the West Chester Growers Market offers, with the added bonus of supporting local sustainable agriculture.

The produce is always beautiful, and there is a great variety to choose from. My family always comes home with enough for a huge feast!

The WCGM is a great place to go on a Saturday morning for local grown fruits, vegetables and flowers. It is also a great social event. Almost everyone from the West Chester area is there with a great big smile on their faces.

Bountiful display of healthy vegetables and fresh fruits - happy vendors and lots of fun each week. Our dogs also enjoy walking through the crowds.

I love that everything is grow organically and everything is local. Some farmers markets don't do either!

Music, treats, lovely people, terrific selections...a perfect way to spend my Saturday mornings!

West Chester Growers Market is the best market I've ever been to. The vendors are very friendly and helpful. Every Saturday there's a large selection of food and other home made items to purchase.

I've been shopping at West Chester Growers Market since it began. I've been to other markets (Lancaster, Roots, Green Dragon, Reading Terminal). None compare with the friendliness and caring of the vendors at West Chester. They watch out for each other and for the friends they've made in the community. They bring us the greatest selection of foods that make it possible to eat local for about 9 months of the year. Their opening in May is anticipated all winter. They charge a fair price and help educate us about the products they supply. Great people, great food, great friendships. Saturday mornings make the week.

Local farmers and suppliers providing local products. Different items that you do not find in grocery stores.

There are a number of reasons that our market is a favorite in our household! For the past two summers (since we discovered this 15-year-old market), we've been purchasing fantastic fresh and local produce there. This year, we've also been getting fresh and local meat! We've managed to almost completely replace our produce and proteins that we used to purchase at a grocery store with much tastier and more healthful foods from the West Chester Growers Market! One of our favorite things about the market (aside from the yummy local food) is that it's truly a family environment. Pets and children are welcomed whole-heartedly, including our ferrets, who accompany us almost every week! We've made a lot of new "market friends" whom we look forward to seeing each week. The location is also incredible, just a block away from the heart of downtown West Chester, which allows us to make a whole morning of the entire market-going experience - eating breakfast at a local restaurant, or just taking a walk through town after we've made our purchases. We don't have to worry about our food if we do take a walk, because the West Chester Growers Market also sells insulated reusable shopping bags! We really love it, and look forward to going every week!

Wide selection of local produce. Good people doing good things. Always friendly.

The WCGM is a great place to spend a Saturday morning because the vendors are so varied- you can get meat, fruits and veggies, soap, wine, salsa, plants, cut flowers, cheese, etc.! There's not too much overlap and it's also just a great place to meet like-minded dogs and people.

Because I love spending my Saturday mornings there with the strollers and dogs and neighbors and friends. The variety of things that are offered is wonderful; from the goat cheese to the honey to the freerange chickens to the amazing greens and flowers. I have my favorite stalls that I have to go by and then I just roam the rest and see what I find.

The West Chester Growers Market has the freshest vegetables, fruits, breads, sweets, and flowers and the friendliest growers and their families on the east coast. It is a fun place to be on a Saturday morning.

I just love going there. Surrounded by all that color just makes me feel alive! All basic needs can be met - fruit, veggies, meat, eggs, cheese, mushrooms, bakegoods, condiments and soap -- it is possible to skip going to a regular grocery store when I shop the West Chester Growers Market. I also like the sense of community the market has by continually giving back.

We love the sheep cheeses from Martha and the fabulous berries from the Berry Lady.

Because I care about the food that I make for my family, and it's extremely important in our fast paced, unhealthy society to support LOCAL.

There is nothing about the market that I DON'T like. I love the flowers, the soaps, the fresh produce, the mushrooms, the cheese, the homemade root beer, the fresh bread and the maple oat cakes, the pasture-raised meat. It's my favorite place to shop by far. Even clothes shopping is less fun than the market.

Fresh, local produce tastes so much better than what I can buy in the stores, and I learn from the vendors. I have tried new foods and cooked new things because of my experiences at West Chester Growers' Market.

Wonderful food and it is awesome to feel connected with the people that grew and produced it!

Fresh food, great friendly farmers and vendors and a warm connection to my farming family roots in Iowa and Mississippi.

Everything is fresh, the people are friendly, and our dog loves all the attention he gets! We are truly lucky to have such access for fresh, locally grown produce.

I look forward to my Saturday morning ritual of visiting the WCGM. I can always count on freshness and fine selection of just about everything grown. While I'm a lover of eating whole foods, supporting my local farmers and the W.C. community, I just ADORE Ellen April's soaps. I am addicted to them especially laverndar mint, ocean breeze and grapefruit which are some of my absolute favorites. Friends not local to W.C., ask me to "pick up another bar" since they've become addicted, too. It's a great market and too many goodies to mention.

Because it's the best place for me to "buy local," and I'm a BIG FAN of buying local! Vendors are great and dependable. I can always count on the freshest produce, and know that it has been grown and harvested locally. Thanks!

The growers market has strengthened the community in this small town, increased neighborliness and brought people together. Market vendors and market-goers have come together to help a farmer with hospital bills, to mourn the tragic loss of a young vendor, and contribute goods and funds to a gleaning program. The vendors grow or make what they sell, and we are blessed with a great variety of people and their products: all kinds of produce, humanely-raised meats, orchard fruit, hand-made soaps and cheeses, bread and baked goods, real root beer - the list goes on. Some of the vendors stay right through the cold weather until Thanksgiving time - and we faithful market-goers show up every Saturday morning. From May to November, my family buys almost all food at our market, preserving our local farmers and farmland. We LOVE our market!

It's the best! 15 years of bringing quality local fruits and produce to the community.

I love to buy locally, and the produce/veggies are so much tastier than the supermarket's

The West Chester Grower's Market has become a weekly routine that I look forward to doing every Saturday morning. It is a time where I can go into town to walk around with my family and go from vendor to vendor tasting and buying delicious veggies, fruits, homemade bread, wine, etc. It is something I have bcome highly fond of and recommend everyone around the West Chester area to attend!!

I'm a vendor at the WCGM and also a customer and one of its biggest fans. I'm all about supporting local farmers and producers. The WCGM brings together a community of like-minded people in a joyous celebration of Buy Fresh, Buy Local.

I support the WCGM because I value local agriculture and I want to support my local economy.

The WCGM is my favorite way to spend a Saturday morning. Great produce, familiar faces, friendly conversation, fun music - and the common belief in community and Buy Fresh, Buy Local. The history and growth of this Market is inspiring. We can only hope for many more years to come! As you can tell, I am passionate about the WCGM!

The folks there are wonderful. They are friendly, informative, show up when the weather is terrible, and always have a smile and some good tips to share! I love West Chester Growers Market!

It was the first producer-only market in this area, starting in 1995! Has great people....both producers AND customers!

Love the garden freshness of all the products. Makes for excellent cooking/meals.

I support these great people because they have wonderful, fresh, organic produce at prices you can't beat. They work hard and are dedicated to the community.

Not a lot of fluff at this market: fresh produce, baked goods, cheese, meat, and one soap booth. Like so many others, though, it is located in a parking lot. So, if you want to sit down and dig in to that fresh loaf you just bought you're out of luck. Also if it is raining, not so good.
