Reviews for: Santa Fe Farmers Market

Because I live in Santa Fe and eat locally as much as possible. And it's nice to have a conversation with the woman who shoveled my potatoes the day before. Healthy. It's like church for me, when the farmers hand you something they have spend months growing. What a gift! What an offering! What life!

Awesome producers keep it real! A terrific place to meet friends, sample the excellent food and support the people who grow and raise our food. We do 90% of our food shopping at the Santa Fe, NM Farmers' Market!

eee you're not from here don'tchu? If you were born here your whole life then you'd know because its the best!!!

It is very diverse. Everything within it stays local. There is always music/entertainment as well. ANDmost importantly, its kid-friendly... my 3 year-old son loves it!!!

Because it's so rootsy and fun!! Quality people, Quality food, means an amazing time!!!!!

Excellent produce, hard working dedicated farmers, lots of organic produce, Great cheese and goat milk, all types of fresh local meats. Breads are fresh and many baked with locally grown and milled flour!

Local food is the best food! SFFM provides a variety of bounty every week, it's a great community gathering, and keeps us healthy and connected.

The energy around live food is wonderful especially when it is mostly organic. People of Santa Fe are almost as magical s the land and the combination of many of them gathering together around so much liveness creates Nirvana!

really great produce, interesting gourmet items, specialized honeys, jams, etc. this is truly an incredible farmer's market! keep the organics coming and supporting our local farmers!!!

It's bhanging! Great food for our amazing food culture here and great farmers. The new location is ideal too.

Best local produce of any farmer's market I've shopped at. Great people, great produce, breads & local meat (lamb, beef, bison, goat). The farmers are helpful, and very friendly. S. McMurray

Quality...quality...quality....and the prices aren't as expensive as you'd think!

I like to shake the hands of the farmers who raise my food- to see the individuals who are dedicating their lives to make personal stands for quality and health in a society soo dedicated to a bottom line that is not currently supporting such. Farmers are activists and Santa Fe and greater northern New Mexico has the best!

Wonderful selection of the best organic fruits and vegetables. Great community location.

wonderful people! great food! amazing energy that just makes you feel good when you are there and makes you feel like giving back and caring about your community

This is a small city with many who wish to support small family farms and not huge corporate agriculture. This is the only way we can act on our beliefs. It is a cherished, small, enterprise we dearly love.

Just another wonderful Santa Fe draw with the fabulous spirit that supports Santa Fe and the people that love it!

Santa Fe Farmer's Market provides our community with the highest quality & freshest foods of all of Santa Fe's resources. The range of foods are fantastic, I shop there weekly and depend on this valuable resource as my primary source of food.

Fresh produce,variety of "stuff" and I think supporting local markets are what make a community and today we need that more then ever.

It is a wonderful resource for our community, impossible to imagine the community without the farmers and the integrity of the organization.

Fresh, healthy foods from local producers -- wonderful folks bringing the highest quality produce and meats to the community. We are truly blessed to have our farmers market!

I support the Santa Fe Farmers Market because it supports me and my family. We sell a wide variety of herbs, exotic fruits as well as craft items. The volume and diversity of customers is the necessary ingredient that has us at the SFFM. Likewise the volume and diversity of the vendors keep the people coming back for more week after week. Why do I support the SFFM? Local food is power and powerful. And I eat very well.

Great support by wonderful local farmers. Tremendous variety of wonderful local foods.

I support my local farmers market because I like to get the freshest produce possible for my family.I think we should all support our farmers and ranchers for all of the food they bring to the market

Featured on a recent PBS documentary as one of the best, the Santa Fe Farmer's Market is truly a happy place. On Saturday mornings, it's where you meet the town: neighbors and friends, tourists and visitors, kids, dogs, musicians, artisans and, of course, the wonderful Northern New Mexican organic farmers who bring their abundance to this wonderful venue. In late summer/fall, the aroma of roasting chiles is in the air, sunflowers are everywhere and die-hard high-desert gardeners are searching for the perfect perennial to plant before the first snow. I can't think of a better way to spend a couple of hours every week, not only supporting slow food and responsible sustainable organic farming ... but having a great time too!

Our farmer's market and the SFFarmersMarket Institute support farmers and help sustain Northern New Mexico's traditions and agriculture by educating, helping out financially and the market is a treasure, year round, providing locally grown produce and products which bring eating to the highest level for all of us lucky enough to live here. Our market is a bounty in spite of the challenges our farmers face each day at high altitude and in a land where water is scarce! Our market is the jewel of our community and a gathering place for all. I moved here from California because there is this market in Santa Fe! I love this market and all the wonderful, hardworking farmers and their cultures which are truly unique to New Mexico!

Santa Fe Farmers Market is not only one of the most vibrant and varied farmers markets I've ever visited (I've lived in Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, and Seattle, so I know great markets) but its story is inextricably linked with the agricultural story of northern New Mexico. Through numerous public programs, from food stamps and Farm to Table to microloans for local farmers and its successful fund raising for a new building in the Railyard, this farmers market leads the way on Clean Food and Community.

They do a sensational job of supporting & promoting northern NM growers while providing the community with healthful, delicious, and varied food options. I wish I could eat the whole market!

Supporting local agriculture directly - knowing who grows the food - the beauty of the fresh food and flowers - social scene - music - what's not to love?

It's as "homegrown and happening" as they get--a spot loved by locals and turistas alike.

For me its a spiritual experience to go to Market. I love the energy...all the gorgeous colors, wonderful smellls and seeing people who are happy.

great food, great farmers..... I want my food fresh, local, and fun.....most of it I purchase at the Santa Fe Farmer's Market.....

Let me count the ways ... new market building for year-round vending; salad greens all year; green chile roasting in late summer; succulent peaches; buffalo meat from Picuris Pueblo; and the fabulous diversity food and of cultures represented by the farmers and their customers.

The Santa Fe Farmer's Market is one of the best markets in the country. We have an amazing selection to choose from, and now that we have a permanent building, our market is open year round. It is important to support our local farmers so we can reduce the impact of food being shipped cross country and around the world on our global environment.

We have devoted providers producing the best and greatest variety of items possible offered in a perfect venue. There is literally something for everyone.

the new Santa Fe Farmer's Market is the best, not only for the all the fresh produce and flowers they offer, but for the special events they sponsor which help support local farmers, artists, musicians as well.

Friendly farmers, great produce, and a lively atmosphere make shopping at Santa Fe Farmers' Market a wonderful experience. And, now green chiles are in season, yum!

Fresh local and organice produce without the hassle or worry of chemicals or other unnatural additives.

The market provides amazingly beautiful and delicious produce year around under the harsh desert climate. Farmers are very charming, and the market is always full of life. The community support is great tooÂ?that's how they now have the permanent LEED-certified building. I haven't seen more exciting market than Santa Fe Farmers' Market!

Fresh, local, varied, vibrant and colorfully abundant - the food, the setting, the environment: great people, great food, great music; wonderful community having fun

Variety of suppliers and presentation of their products is wonderful, supports local farmers/artisans and fun activities, along with multiple days during the week and locations within Santa Fe.

The best produce, cheeses, meats and chicken I have ever had the opportunity to purchase, all locally grown and raised by friendly, helpful and happy Northern New Mexicans. Not to mention the crafts, fresh baked breads, flowers and plants, teas, herbs, oils and balms and soaps, etc. etc. All in a beautiful and festive local....what could be better!

It is one of the BEST and largest farmer's market in the country. You will find an incredible variety of locally grown veggies and fruits, meats,cheese, flowers, crafts and things to wear!

I support Santa Fe Farmers Market because the produce is locally grown and it is fresh. Plus when my husband baked he would participate.

I like the variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. I also like the oriental vegetables that I can get. The local markets don't carry much and they aren't fresh.

It has a great selection of fresh organic food and there are many interesting exhibits and entertainers.

a lively, neighborhood market, excellent in fall when the green chili is roasting, produce plus organic meats and artisan cheese and gorgeous flowers, also.

Amazing produce; kind, informed, helpful vendors; pleasant atmosphere - music, singing, happy voices; events for the whole family - they even have free dog sitters! The farmers are always willing to answer questions about how things are grown and when to harvest, with problems I encounter on my own farm. I really look forward to going!

The atmosphere is wonderful with all the happy people talking with the vendors. It's a great place to meet friends and compare purchases. There is always something new to try and the vendors are so helpful.

This market has absolutely, bright, colorful fruits and vegetables. The farmers are dedicated, elegant and are fanatic about good food. The venue is great, high altitude and invigorating. I could go on - it's worth driving the 3 hours to go visit!

The Santa Fe Farmers Market is THE in the United States. People from Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, Denver etc. tell us that they have never seen anything like it. They say it is such a fun atmosphere with the vendors, musicians and people. The quality of the produce is unbelievable.

The food is fresh and delicious.It is an integral part of our communiy. There is music and flowers and lovely people.

The food is delicious, it is beautifully displayed, and the farmers are unfailingly cheerful and helpful. My weekly visit there is one of the highlights of my whole week!

New Mexico is a poor state, and farmer's markets help keep local traditions alive.

Supporting local farmers and eating foods grown locally is the only responsible way to live. Plus the SF Farmers Market is a vibrant, exciting market. The selection is exceptional. It's also a great way to get to know the farmers and have that connection with where your food is grown.

They have a brand new building in a great section of town newly re-established as well. It's a fantastic environment for families and folks of all ages.The people that run it have put their life blood into making things better for all. They simply deserve recognition and financial assistance to keep growing.

Its a short walk to from my house and its year round! Very friendly people and everything is high quality!

I love local vegetables, and the vibrant atmosphere. Summer squash, lettuce, arugula; fall root vegetables; goat cheese with herbs; and I feel so healthy! Carol

Wide selection, from fruit and vegetables to the incredible lamb, beef, chicken, and eggs. Most organic or pesticide-free. Live music and local chef demonstrations. Meeting place for all.

Santa Fe Farmers Market provides excellent organic produce, a friendly and lively atmosphere, and a way to support local farmers. Love it!!!!!!!!!!

It's the best community building effort I've witnessed in my 27 years as a Santa Fe resident!

Our market is a marvelous venue for local growers. There is a huge range of products ... it is not just a lettuce market. The community is serves is diverse, crossing many strata of life and growers themselves are an equally diverse bunch. All this plus their new LEED certified building is the the centerpiece of Santa Fe's railyard area. With all it's activities, our Farmers Market is a marketplace and a gathering place.

The variety and abundance of foods available is simply amazing. In the 15 years I have shopped the market I have gotten to know who grows my food and how. We are blessed with dedicated producers who believe in local, sustainable food.

The farmer's have the freshest most delicious products! Lots of organics. So much care put into the what they produce.

the abundance and quality and freshness is unsurpassed. it is also a beautiful display and a great place to enjoy community. it is very important to spend dollars locally, and to support farmers

Love the variety of the food here. Love how it is organized. All the farmers are so friendly and helpful. There is such a vibrancy and color to it. And now there is plenty of space and lots of parking

Despite the huge challenges our farmers here in Northern New Mexico have, that many other farmers markets do not have (drought/aridity, high altitude, elemental weather, short growing season, challenging soils, etc.) they are so brilliant at reading and working the land that they love, that they are consistently one of the top 10 farmers markets in the nation. Kudos to you, Santa Fe Farmers Market!

Truely local, accepting fresh food grown ONLY in the 15 Northern Counties of New Mexico. Recently moved to a 4.5 Million dollar Pavilion in the newly rehabbed Santa Fe Railyard District . . . minutes from the center of Town.

The Santa Fe Farmers Market is a vibrant bi-weekly event with wonderful produce! It adds to the character and health of our community.

Great location in downtown - wonderful seasonal produce and extras. Organic meats, eggs, produce -- local honey. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Like Santa Fe itself, the farmers' market is unique. It brings gorgeous and tasty produce, sustainably-raised meat, lovely locally-grown plants and flowers - things you can't find anyplace else. It helps support local traditional farmers and newer organic farmers. Musicians serenade us and provide dancing music, depending on the genre. It fosters community by prompting a wide cross section of Santa Feans to gather there every Saturday and (to a lesser extent) every Tuesday.

Friendly farmers, great local food and produce, wonderful social gathering, all in a beautiful new setting in the Santa Fe Railyard

Because everytime I come home to see my parents in the summer in nambe they bring me to the market everything is wonderful especillay the chile I live i now scottsdale az

Incredible selection! True-hard working people, organic produce, flowers you wouldn't believe!

They have great plants and great veggies! They do so much to support our local growers, especially from Corrales, New Mexico!

It is an excellent collection of organic food, famers and fun as well as a fantastic new building. Simply the 'place to be' on Saturday mornings.

We're a family; we bring a diverse community together in celebration of local, organic, sustainable food and fun for all who visit!

Great local foods are hard to come by in Santa Fe. The SFFM puts it all in one place twice a week. We love it!

Eating food grown locally provides more nutrition in my diet, in timeliness of both harvest to plate & seasonality of crop. It also decreases the use of fossil fuels required for transport, supports a local economy, and simultaneously increases the interest in sustainable agriculture and decreases the age gap of farmers.

I love it,very warm creative people and the yummiest produce!! my son and i love going to the santa fe farmers market,it is always great fun!!!

healthy food --community involvement--alternative food source - energy of participants

The best part of the Santa Fe Farmers' Market is the people who grow and sell the food!

So much more than simply food (though that is great)--the market and its supporting institute are vital and active players in enabling a thriving local food infrastructure, public education and farmer support programs such as micro loans.

It is one of the best Farmer's Market's in the country. Most of the farmers there farm on less than 5 acres of lands in New Mexico's challenging growing conditions. Wonderful selections from fresh produce to goats milk soap.

The Santa Fe Farmer's Market has a diverse selection from so many local growers around the state and reflects the heritage and multi-cultural flavor of our city and state.

I love the variety of products. The atmosphere is great and I love the breakfast burritos!

It is wonderfully run with fabulous vendors. Exciting, beautiful food that makes farm to table really meaningful. Linda Milanesi

The Santa Fe Farmer's Market is a key link in the production and trade of high-quality local food and an integral part of the coommunity.

Train service, nice vendors, colorful crowd, great location in historical the downtown rail yard. Musicians, bee products and fresh produce combine to make this a great experience.

I buy locally grown fresh goods, direct from the farmer. They operate Tuesday as well as Saturday, which helps make it fit the summer schedule. I frequently get some education about what I see and buy. Free coffee refills!

Local sustainable fresh diverse food, grown by folks who care. A magnificent bounty every week.

great food produced in a sustainable way, providing important work/jobs and savin gour seed supply and hence food supply. it is also so much fun to shop there...great people and usually great music too

Brand new facility. Lots of diversity of products. Friendly people. Good Food. Lots of Fun!!!

There's nothing like fresh, local,colorful, organic produce and hand-made goods by local vendors. Among other things, I am wildly fond of the goat milk products from Sweetwoods Dairy. You never know what you will find at the Santa Fe Farmer's Market; tender greens, sweet carrots, fragrant lavender, home-made tamales, breads. Not to mention the wonderfully heart-warming live music that fills the air. What a blessing this is to our community, on every level imaginable.

The Market has been a contributing force to our economy and a provider of quality New Mexican grown produce that we all enjoy. They deserve recognition for their hard work and is a stabilzing anchor for the Railyard.

I support the local growers here in Northern New Mexico because it is my way of saying thanks for all the work and love and dedication one has to the earth!!

I spend alot of time in Santa Fe and shopping the farmers market there is always my highlight. Great "vendors" and sense of community.

because it has a wonderful array of fresh fruits, vegetables and plants, along with many artisanal foods and products. Santa Fe gathers at our local Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Fun! Fun!

It's such a great place to go get fresh produce, dairy and bread! We just love it!
