Reviews for: Watauga County Farmers' Market

The food is fresh and one can know the "face of their food"! The local economy is certainly enhanced by those who purchase products from other local individuals who grow, and produce healthy fresh food! Community is becoming lost in our fast paced techno-society, and it does not need to be that way.....the farmer's market is a step towards stronger community.

Great selection and people. fantastic atmosphere. A real asset to our area and a champion of farm-to-table dining

Great organic, locally-grown food. Nice people to visit with. Local honey - great for allergies.

Love the fresh produce, nursery plants and homemade goodies, plus all the social aspects of the Market!!

Great community of folks and wonderful produce and goods. I look forward to my Saturday mornings at the Market.

Very well established, great folks and variety, has helped highlight the importance of farmers and farmers markets in our area.

All of the amazing local products rock. The people here put so much effort into all thier goods and really do care about helping everyone in the community.

I support local and they have great produce, food, hand made items and lots of wonderful people!

I support the Watauga Co. Farmers Market because it supports local, healthy foods and has created a fun, close knit community that comes together every Saturday!

Yum! Lots of good food (like dessert pasta, heirloom apples and tomatoes, and goat cheese--mmmmm). Nice people too.

The Watauga Couty Farmers' Market is Great! Support the local farmers and buy at the market!

Everything is better at the Farmers Market. Food tastes better plants last longer and the atmosphere is wonderful.

fresh local produce and goods; not only do I get good quality produce but I support farming in my area.

Vendors are sincere. I trust the quality of the products. As a matter of fact, this is the only market I have shopped across North America in the last 49 years that I trust the honesty of every vendor and each product to be clean and fair! The vendors are attentive to customer's individual interests. Sometimes special orders can be placed and brought next market. Feedback is often sought and responded to. It is a true local market offering local harvests (not shipped) and local vendors ask for feedback so visitors and local folks get what they want, when, and how they need it. Come on and visit! you'll see !!

absolutely the best i have attended through the years. I look forward to Saturdays and meet the vendors...all just delightful..i find things here that i could never find in a grocery and/or other markets.

Where else can you get such a variety of local goods? More than that it's a great way to interact with the community!

I've been to a couple different farmer's markets, but this one is by far the best! They've got Joan's Breads (the tastiest), Bald Guy's coffee (so good), breakfast foods and other goodies from Faith Mountain Farm (delicious), a huge assortment of fruits and vegetables and flowers grown by the nicest people, and so much more! I also love the small town, friendly attitude every to have. It's the best way to start a Saturday!

I love the sense of community and to give my money directly to the farmers who grow our food. I appreciate their hard work and everything tastes so much better... Thank you

It's one of the most treasured parts of our family's week, going to the market. We eat well and fresh on the things we buy, we see many friends, we hear good music from local musicians, and our kids play in the woods and among the historic cabins in the Homestead next door.

We love the farmers market and wish we took more advantage of the wednesday sale when they have it. We often miss the good stuff because we are late risers but we still get to have yummy fresh foods in our home.

I love buying directly from the people who grow the food, especially when they care as much about the environment & yumminess as I do!

Watauga County Farmers Market offers wonderful, fresh, locally-grown food; beautiful plants; top-quality handicrafts; and tremendous community spirit. It is a fantastic place to see everyone you know.

love them veggies...flowers & shrubs & berry pies too! we use the veggies for beautiful 'locally grown' photos for T shirts...then we eat them!

We have friendly, knowledgeable vendors who bring an amazing variety of goods to the market. It is quite the social scene, as well!

I love supporting local businesses and getting great & fresh products.

I go to the Watauga County Farmers' Market to buy food that is locally grown and superb, but it has also become a social center on Saturday mornings with coffee and treats as well as the company of friends.

spend the summer in boone and this is THE best market in the area!!! wide variety and great prices!!

Just a wonderful market with everything from Veg, flowers, crafts, Meats and just plain nice folks

one of the highlights of any weekend we spend at our cabin is going to see what is new and delicious at the market! we always leave with more than we thought we'd buy! but we love you anyway!!

What a find!! At least 50% of the produce venders are organic farmers, that's huge for such a small area.

The market is a great alternative for great food in the area, and I enjoy supporting local foods. It's also a great place to meet and greet people in the community, which is not always easy as a college student at ASU. I feel more involved in the "mountain life" when I can come and discuss things with people at the market. There is no better way to spend a Saturday morning than discussing fruits, veggies, crafts etc. with elders in your community!

Our Farmer's Market offers everything! They have local free range meats, organic fruits & veggies, quilts, baked goods, and even jewelry are just part of it. The people and atmosphere are so welcoming. We love to get coffee and a muffin and visit with the vendors while shopping. The live music and entertainment is wonderful too!

Wonderful way to see folks in the community, buy fresh meats, cheeses, produce, plants, crafts, coffee,etc and support local farmers and craftspeople

I totally support buying locally and all the folks at the Watauga County Farmers' Market are just great!

Fresh local loved organic food! AND it's not just the food. There is such a sweet feeling of community. Each booth, each person compliments the next. This community support you find at our Farmer's Market spreads out into our larger communities. What a great place to take our children to show them how people can and do work together. Thank you!

We are able to purchase local organically grown produce directly from small, caring, compassionate farmers who need our support and deserve it. The produce is fresh, clean and full of love! What a phenomenol way to eat right, stay healthy and support those who live near us.

It is the by far the most friendly, ralaxed, locally grown as well healthy farmers market ever..they are not growers..they are family

I love the Watauga Farmers' Market I always love the local produce, flowers and the setting is beautiful.

The Watauga County Farmer's Market is both a source of excellent local crafts and produce and a social event for the town.

I love seeing all the community folks coming together every Saturday morning. I plan my weekend meals around what the growers have to sell .. it is so much fun! And it is a great opportunity to thank all the farmers for their hard work! The coffee is also great!!

This place is amazing. Not just because of the fresh food, breads, jams, coffees, and unique jewelry, but a chance to hang out with friends, start the day with impromptu local musicians and walk the famous horn of the west gardens.

My family's health is very important to me. I like being able to buy fresh, healthy and local food. This is a very important part of our lives. We love supporting something so valuable to us. This group does a wonderful job of offering what we need to stay healthy.

I enjoy purchasing fresh local food,flowers and crafts from farmers and vendors that know me by my first name. These are people that I see every year. With this bond, I know that the farmers and vendors will actually care about what they sell to me!

I think all farmers markets world wide should be strongly supported! That you can come there in the morning and get your coffee, breakfast and buy fresh groceries for dinner, at the same time as you meet your friends and other friendly people from your community willing to help, is great. Local food is important, and it is good that they get the opportunity to sell their products.

Fun, friendly atmosphere, people who know what they're doing sharing great, nutritious food and beautiful crafts.

Fresh, clean, wholesome produce. Great atmosphere and nice people. No harmful ingredients. Locally grown. No MSG!!!

The quality of the produce and meat is excellent. I enjoy buying directly from farmers and establishing a relationship with them.

The market feeds our bodies and souls. It is a beautiful place filled with people who love the land, the food we grow here, and each other. You always see people saying hello to friends and buying healthy food they are looking forward to eating.

Wide variety of very fresh and tasty veggies and fruits. Baked and canned goods, hand made crafts and best of all is you know it was either grown or created by the person standing directly in front of you. I love this place as the familiar smells and sounds takes me back to an earlier time in my life when Mom and Dad took me to the market.

I enjoy the diversity if the items offered at the market. What really moves me is when I hand my dollar bills over to the farmer. His hands show the undisputed evidence, that he worked hand in hand with mother nature to bring this food to me.

I've lived here most of my life and have watched the market grow in to the fabulous place it is today. Fresh veggies & fruit, organic, knowledgeable vendors. Some of the best jams and breads I have ever had! Buying local helps us all.

nice to have a place to get fresh, local veggies and eggs. Also a great place to see friends and help meet new people, strengthening our community as people from diverse backgrounds get to share a common interest in supporting local farms and craftspeople. A beautiful well run market for a fairly small town.

They are a wonderful source of FOOD. I want to buy from a local source and support a local farmer. One day in the not to distant future they will be our only source, not the behemoth food companies that will implode due to their own greed. I want the very best food quality and variety for my family and myself. I get it at the Watauga County Farmer's Market.

I can find organically grown produce, good bread, and some fine art & craft.

Locally grown produce and items are the only way to go. Support the local community.

We love visiting the Watauga County Farmer's Market on weekends. The people, produce, coffee and fresh flowers are all second to none. The energy that buzzes around the market is palpable -you just feel it in the air. If more places were like the Watauga County Farmer's Market, the world would be a better place!

It is wonderful to be able to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables and plants that are grown locally.

We lack for nothing - great produce, cheese, flowers, plants, baked goods, pasta, music, coffes..... and wow - the folks rock!

The friendliest market you'll ever visit! Plus awesome local food produced with great care, and lots more.

It's not just a farmer's market! In Watauga County, its all about community. Old-time music, the apple festival, smiling faces, etc. all make it the best market I've ever been to. Plus, the veggies are local and delicious.

Great people that work hard to bring us fresh produce and homemade goods! Love this community.

Great people that work hard to bring us fresh produce and homemade goods! Love this community.

Local food, flowers,and friends are enjoyed at this market. I go for the colors, music,and crafts, as well. I usually, stand behind the performers and sketch them, as well as, onlookers and passersby. I attract a little attention and admiration of my quick sketches. I soak up the smells of things to eat, soaps and flowers. It is a market, for all the senses, which delights me each Saturday with an anticipation that is always rewarded both visually and physically.It is the best of markets I have experienced from here to England, France, Germany and Italy.

there is always a wide variety of fruits, vegatables, prepared foods, plants, etc.! and, everything that i've ever purchased there, has been excellant quality

I love supporting local growers and local farms. Not only for the nutritional value in purchasing food that is picked and sold ripened, without traveling all over the continent, but for the control element in making sure the foods are clean. I love the variety of products, both food and crafts, and I support local entrepreneurs!

Boone Farmers Market has a great variety of veggies and plants to offer as well as local mtn crafts, and great entertainment in a great setting. It's always fun to spend a morning at the Boone Farmers Market

I grew up in this community and my mom started taking me to this market when I was a little girl. I feel like a lot of these folks helped raise me from the inside out. It is a wonderful place to see everyone and catch up on what's happen in everyone's lives. There is no place I would rather be on a Saturday morning!

We purchased a house in Blowing Rock in 1992 which we use as a vacation residence. Every weekend that we are in the mountains we shop at the Watauga County Farmer's Market to purchase baked goodies and vegetables to eat. We really love the Market and have meet so many friends .We feel that the value ot the items that we purchase at the Market couldn't be found anywhere else. Thanks so much for letting us express our deepest thanks to our friends at the Market.

Everyone has such a good, happy vibe about them!!! Our town seems to have that no matter where you go though!!! I grow my own food, but love to see so many other people doing the same thing, ( usually better though!!!)

I love the camaraderie with my favorite farmers, and the ideas they give me for trying out new fruits & veggies.

It's a great place to procure locally grown food from people I know and trust. Plus, it's so much fun to see friends.

Me and my son visit the farmers market every saturday! We always find soo much yummy fruits and veggies, breads, coffe, jewlery, you name it! We have a wonderful farmers market!

great place to meet and greet. The farmers are so helpful and positive. It make you feel like you are part of the community. Local foods, local families!!!

Because MORE Fruits and Veggies MATTER!! It is also very important to support local farmers. Thank you Farmers for providing delicious fruits and veggies.

I love all the fresh organically grown veggie I can get at my market. The farmers are also very pleasant to talk with and take the time to get to know you. I trust them and what they grow.

They have fabulous vendors -- Susie and David of Fog Likely --- wonderful musicians --- and it is THE place to be on Sat. mornings in the NC mountains!

it has helped feed us and fill our home gardens for years while providing a way to build our relations as neighbors and support our local farmers and craftspeople - it is always a great way to spend a Saturday morning and then the gifts stay with us through the week

I look forward to the Market opening in the Spring and am sad when it closes...it's a great place for local foods and gifts also...I recommend it to everyone and try to go weekly.

It is a charming market with a nice variety of local, organic produce. The baked goods and prepared foods are are of gormet gift quality. I do much of my Christmas shooping there in the Fall. The social atmosphere is equally vibrant and relaxing.

It provides everything I need. Fresh LOCALLY grown. raised, and prepared food is just soooo good and far superior to supermarket products. The crafts are art quality, the plants and flowers stupendous, & vendors first rate.

This market has a very hometown feel with great people and exceptional local produce, crafts, and goods.

The market is a lively creative place with an exceptional selection of high quality produce and art level crafts. Where else can you get all that with the beautiful scenery and weather of the NC mountains.

This market has a huge selection of produce, flowers, crafts, baked goods and more and its in one of the most beautiful places in North Carolina. You'll always find friendly people and laughter.

WCFM has it together--a great variety of quality items that allows us to support our community. Eating healthy goes hand-in-hand with eating local. Delicious food, beautiful crafts and flowers, and great entertainment. Thank you WCFM!

I have never seen a better Farmer's Market. It is clean, well-organized, has a tremendous variety of produce, flowers and plants, food, art, crafts and entertainment. All of the vendors are friendly, knowledgeable and talented. The location is centrally located for tourist and locals. The atmosphere is delightful and I am always satisfied and happy when I finally force myself to leave this wonderful community gathering.

The most important things in life are God 1st, Family 2nd and Community 3rd. Watauga's County Farmers' Market has it all! Thank you for all you do for our community!

Local food is the best food! It is cheap and I can buy a week's worth of produce for under $10. Local honey rocks!

its one big happy family! and has the most wonderful produce, plants and crafts. everyone is so friendly and makes you feel special

because it is the best, there are so many organic products, you can find everything you need, because people are nice and because if you visit Boone the market is an attraction itself with good music good food and good people.

My husband and I look forward to the Saturday Farmer's Market every week! The vendors are so friendly and really express interest in helping you purchase just what you need!!

I used to live up there and its a great sorse of food. Its healthy and is soutable to everyone. I think that they should win because they need a new location so that they can expand and have more space for more farmers!!!

Watauga farmers' market is wonderful, and so much better than any farmers market in Philadelphia (where I live most of the year). I can't wait to get back to Boone and the Watauga Co. Farmers' Market! And it keeps getting better every year

Buying local, great health foods & original mountain crafts. A real tourist attraction bringing locals and visitors together.

It is the BEST market in the world! The people are friendly, the produce is beautiful and there is no other place I rather be on Saturday mornings!

Because it is a REAL farmers market with real farmers selling their homegrown produce. Plus, they need the money to resolve their location dispute

My farmers market gets better every year as it adds new items such as breads, eggs, farm raised meats, and interesting crafts as well as the best veggies. I learned to love Swiss Chard thanks to the market.

One of the best things about living in the High Country - the local harvest - local people. What could be better??!!

The warm community feel and the great mountain atmosphere. Just knowing that I am buying the best for my family!

The Watauga Farmer's Market has grown so much over the years and is now the place to be for our whole community. It is a vibrant and wonderful hub on Saturday mornings and I smile the whole time I am there. I am also able to stock up on foods for the whole week and am now purchasing larger quantities of local food to can and freeze for the winter. I would love to see our market receive this money so that they can continue to offer this great resource!

It's my favorite place to be every Saturday morning! Such variety and such fun- provides a true sense of community to our town!! XO!
