Reviews for: Haymaker Farmers' Market

I love the people. I love the produce and products. I feel good just walking around there!

The vendors are so helpful, variety is wonderful, the quality is excellent and it's nice to know that we're supporting our local people.

It's a small community whose market started out with a few vendors 2-3 years ago. Now there are about 50 vendors along the street each Saturday morning. There are lots of options: fruits, vegetables, growing plants, bakery goods, knife sharpening, and more. Great place to shop for fresh foods and meet friends!

Terrific choice of products, friendly vendors who become good friends, busy, busy place with neighbors, kids, dogs, and musicians, within blocks of home & other downtown shops. A Saturday morning commitment.

i love FRESH FRUIT AND VEGGIES and i get what i want everytime. i love it!! i am never disappointed!!!!

GREAT FOOD & HOME SUPPLIES. GREAT PEOPLE. GREAT PRICES. LOCAL. CONVENIENT. ALWAYS CLEAN. ALWAYS FRESH. ORGANICS. HEALTHY.

I love getting fresh from the farm produce and other homemade items they have to offer. It is a very friendly place to meet new people and hook up with old friends.

It's getting bigger and better all the time. I love the organic produce vendors. I have gotten to the local growers, and this is the place to meet them and to see the wonders they have produced.

I love to view the mix of people, produce, goods, and the ambience feels so "The People, Yes"! I meet and socialize with the venders and shoppers. I love to ask the growers questions about their experience and learn from them. What fun and action to be part of the "localvore" movement!

My CSA share gives me an excuse to visit downtown Kent - and I always find something else I want to buy!

The best thing about HFM is the friendliness of the people out there. Free kittens, free samples of bread and cookies, good music are bonus !!!

We go to markets wherever we vacation, and we've never found one better than right here in Kent.

Haymaker Farmers Market has a great variety of fresh homegrown and locally produced goods, but what really makes it special is the social atmosphere. You can have coffee and a fresh scone while you visit and shop.

It is the best farmers' market around and also provides an opportunity for local musicians to perform.

Our dear friends, who are involved in this Farmer's Market, expressed a need, so we're just here to help! Good luck Haymaker. Go local!

It has grown to be the best in the area with many new vendors and weekly music at the market

I've been selling at local markets for 6 years now, and Kent remains my favorite. Lots of variety and wonderful community support from the people in Kent. I recommend this market to shoppers and growers!

I feel that Farmer's Markets are such a wonderful thing for the communities. It provides an outsource for the farmers and lets the locals get to enjoy the farmers hard work. Props to the farmers.

A great place to spend your Saturday morning. Interesting people, good food. Laid back atmosphere

It's in my downtown. It's close to my house. I can bike there. I can see my friends there. I can meet the lady who grows my bok choi, the guy who makes Portuguese bread and always smiles, the lady who's trying to start a chicken business, the 4th-generation maple syrup folks, the quiet and brilliant artist, the musician performer for the day, the budding cheesemaker... People are happy when they go to Haymaker. Who wouldn't want to be in a place like that?

Because it sells simply the best produce and baked goods around! I never miss one and enjoy getting back to the idea of seasonal eating.

Within walking distance of the river, library and downtown shopping this eclectic farmers' market completes my weekly errands without ever having to get out the car keys.

I love the Haymaker Farmers' Market because the fresh, local produce tastes wonderful.

Great food, music, dancing and some of the most interesting people you'll ever meet. It's a tradition in our family

I support the local farmers market because well, Its just American. Sure, the large stores can offer lots of produce at low prices but its not the same. Our local farmers and shops need all of our support so that they may continue to do what it is they do. Local produce is tastier too! To shop at the farmers market has such a strong nostalgic community feel that just cannot be created in the large grocer chains. I LOVE FARMERS MARKET!

My husband and I are interested in supporting our local community and are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to buy good fresh produce from our own Kent farmer's market.

Just found it. Love it. Breads are great. Black raspberries would have tasted fresher only if I'd picked them myself in the garden. And the fresh peas!!! I'm telling all my friends about it.

The people are friendly, it's close to home and I can find everything I need in one place.

Support local markets; buy closer to home thus lowering my carbon footprint; supporting the local farmers; opportunity to discuss different types of produce; learn new recipies from the growers. It's just a great program, sort of grass roots project that has grown into a viable market and a great place to shop.

Great place to find fresh, homegrown vegtables, fruits and berries. Friendly people (and dogs) and fun venues. Good breads, cookies, cakes and goodies. Growing in size and vendors. Great place to shop!

It keep growing and helps make Kent a warm, friendly atmosphere for its citizens.

The market is always happening! There is the feel of a great community. There is a good variety of things to choose from. I always feel happier and healthier when i leave.

Haymaker Farmers Market brings the freshest produce and best-tasting baked goods right into downtown Kent every week.

Haymaker Farmers' Market is always improving, getting bigger and better. The variety of fresh local foods offered is wonderful, the people are friendly, and the location is perfect!

They have a great variety of wonderful produce, cheese and plants. Nice people and a nice atmosphere.

Not only can you purchase wholesome, local produce and home-produced items, you can also meet neighbors, hear great music, and support sustainable practices.

I love the lively atmosphere and seeing friends, the food selection is also great.

Love the variety of produce, herbs & flowers, music and atmosphere at Haymaker. It is a great place to hang out and enjoy festive atmosphere and wonderful goodies.

Throughout the summer, where better to get your produce and baked goods? When the beans, tomatoes, corn, melons and other produce are ripe, why choose Giant Eagle with unripe produce imported from another country when you can get them fresh picked that day from just a few miles away at the market?!?!?!??! Eat locally grown! Your body and planet will thank you!!

Haymaker Market customers KNOW and LOVE good food! I know when they choose something I've taken care to grow that they are going to enjoy and appreciate it.

Haymaker has become the place to see your friends and neighbors each week, enjoy some homegrown music and pick up the freshest locally grown veggies around!

It's very close to me, and I enjoy patronizing the local food markets because it shortens the food miles. Also,the market adds to the character of the town. I am happy that people are finally catching on.

This market has gone from being a 4 vendor affair to 40 vendors over the past 15 years and has become an important destination for citizens and vendors on Saturday mornings. Haymaker contributes greatly to the local downtown business district and brings incredible fresh foods to tables all over the community. I love the market and want to see it continue to grow!

Fritz Seefeld is the man who started the market 15 years ago- totally out of his love for Kent and fresh food, he's never earned a cent for all the work he's done. He has vision. He has heart.

In my opinion, this farmer's market needs to stay around and alive for a LONG time!

Great vendors that I enjoy talking to and buying from. Always good veggies and wonderful fresh bread of a high quality. Local produce, good music in this growing, vibrant market.

The amazing food, the wonderful people, the great music- what's not to love?? And within walking distance is even better!

I support all Farmer's in their efforts to be self-sufficient and with this economy, it is even MORE important to have FRESH vegetables etc.

I remember when the Haymaker Farmers' Market started back in the 1990s. It is truly part of the heart of the community and deserves any support it can get. It's not just a place to get fresh produce (which is very important), it is also a place to socialize and learn about other happenings in the community.

it brings the community together to buy fresh produce but also to share news, socialize and make new friends.

This is the friendliest and most diverse market with almost all the foods being organic and very local. Even our bakers are often producing vegan products and gluten free products. It is very well managed by our great market manager Fritz Seefeldt who does it all without any monetary compensation. with weekly entertainment, allows anyone to set up a booth for free for one day to "try it on."

It's a great way to enrich our community by supporting local farmers and micro-businesses while having access to healthy, organic and locally-grown food. We don't have room for much of a garden, so we appreciate having access to farm-fresh produce.

It's a vibrant social environment, full of vitality, music and, of course, healthy foods and creative enterprise. It's the place to see and be seen every Saturday morning during the farmer's market season -- and beyond! Last year Haymaker Farmer's Market held an indoor market for the holiday season. Fritz does a great job of organizing the vendors and the vendors do a great job of displaying their wares and describing how they got there. I just love the changing variety of produce, plants, baked goods, and art and beauty products. It's the best place to be in Kent on Saturdays.

Haymaker prioritizes farmers while staging an expanding network of growers, professionals and cottage industries. As the season progresses Tomatoes, Squash, Apples, Corn and Pumpkins appear. I go to Haymaker to sell Whole Grain Breads of Organic ingredients Each week I leave with a new discovery for example: To Haymaker for fresh picked Basil, Rosemary, Oregano and Dill Home with additional finds of goatÂ?s milk cheese, fudge and soap To Haymaker with Homemade Herb bread to sell Home again with peanuts encrusted with local Maple Syrup, fresh Spinach, Strawberries, Radishes and Beets To Haymaker to hear live Music Home afterwards with fresh roasted Coffee Beans, Vegan Baked Goods, and Flowers bouquets with mint. Tented occasionally are introductions to many budding ventures in Kent Haymaker Farmers Market a blooming festival each weekend.

The Haymaker Farmers' Market is a great and essential community institution, which also features live music.

Wonderful healthful baked goods, fresh local produce, chance for local musicians to perform

Haymaker Farmers' Market is the largest and closest locally grown, fresh produce market around. I love the idea of supporting and getting fresh local produce. It's also like a produce festival every Saturday!

They have locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables, plus all my friends and neighbors shop there.

Bonnie makes excellent homemade bread! The live, roving music is also very good.

1) The produce is wonderful. 2) The flowers are gorgeous. 3) The plants and other goodies are lovely. 4) They have goat's cheese and Scottish pastries and live music! 5) The vendors have become old friends, and some of my old friends are vendors. 6) I see my friends and neighbors. 7) It's down the street more or less. I think it's wonderful

My daughter participates - Stonefield Hill Farm in Suffield, OH. You also have a wonderful variety of vendors to choose from.
