Reviews for: Takoma Park Farmer's Market

The Takoma farmer's market is filled with only local delicious food and wonderful people. It's also 2 blocks from my house, which is very nice of it.

Excellent mix of produce, eggs, cheese, plants, flowers and other items. Lovely folks always ready to help beyond the expected- good environment people friendly! FIRST RATE IN EVERY WAY!

The produce is always fresh and organic...the breads are incredible...the people who serve me are always friendly and helpful and the Management created an ATM without electricity or a computer!!!

A neighborhood tradition with amazing produce, flora and fauna, baked goods, cheeses and free-range meats, not to mention amazing mushroom chili and soup! Perhaps more importantly, truly remarkable people dedicated to their craft.

It's just a pleasant place to be! Great food, great people - all together supporting small organic farms.

The majority of the farmers have been at this market for 10-15 yrs. Their food is fresh and many of the farmers grow organically. I try to buy only organic foods to eat. You get to see friends every week at the market, it's community.

The food in incredible, the sellers are warm and wonderful, and the whole event is a celebration of daily living at it's best!

The food is all locally grown, tastes good, and vendors are friendly, helpful, and have become part of our community in Takoma Park.

Our farmer's market allows only REAL farmers to sell their produce. No middle-folks here. We're a small city and the Sunday farmer's market - held on our main street, appropriately closed off for the weekly event -- is key to giving us our identity as well as a gathering place. Folks come to buy, but they also come to socialize. As is the case for many small cities, the current economic crisis is hurting our downtown merchants. We, as a community, are trying hard to keep ou downtown alive and vibrant. Our farmer's market is one of the key things that we have going in terms of getting local and not-necessarily local folk to come and savor our town in all its specialness.

because it is so close to home, farmers become our friends, the food AND the shoppers are diverse, we are able to support the local economy!

A great selection of regional farmers with wonderful produce, cheese, meats, baked goods. It's a great attraction to visitors and a welcome meeting place for neighbors.

wonderful local farmers bring the most fresh and delicious produce all year long. gorgeous flowers, too.

The vendors are great, friendly and knowledgeable. There is a good mix of food available, cheese, vegetables, meat, honey, jams, flowers ---- it pulls in lots of people and makes for a festive,happy Sunday morning. I LOVE the Takoma Park Farmer's Market!

Close to my home, friendly and helpful sellers, beautiful and mostly organic selection, a place to meet friends; reminds me of my "home" farmers' market in Fresno, CA.

Quality and local farmers, all-year, kids friendly (banjo man, jungler, etc.), accepts food stamps

The Takoma Park Farmers Market is a wonderful year-round market which has been thriving for over 20 years. The market provides a weekly gathering place for residents and they even accept food stamps!

Takoma Park Farmer's Market is a wonderful market, mostly organic with everything from greens to meat and milk and a wonderful crowd of shopper families.

I love all the diversity of vendors - from pasta and pesto to eggplant and eggs - all fresh - and the timing is perfect for a properly lazy Sunday.

It has a fantastic hometown feel and all the fresh produce a person could wish for.

They have great selection and everything I've bought there is delicious. My only complaint is that it's hard to get to both my church and the market on Sundays.

Because it has such a wonderful variety of foods, fruit, and veg and plants and herbs. The people are lovely and we meet and greet all our neighbors up there every Sunday morning. We also have the pleasure of listening to Frank on his banjo, which we all love especially the children.

They operate all year round, have a great (and truly *local*) selection, with diverse options and extremely friendly vendors. The Market in Takoma Park is truly a part of the community here, a place where people can interact with their neighbors and with the people who grew your food.

Too many reasons! It's the perfect mix of fresh fruits and veggies, eggs and cheeses, and fresh prepared foods. Everyone sells and buys with genuine smiles on their faces. It has entertainment for kids, and an "ATM" that dispenses wooden tokens. And it's all producer-only!

Eat local, eat well, eat local, eat well, eat local, eat well........you get the point. There is nothing better than the wonderful fresh food straight from a farmer you know!

I appreciate the Farmers' Market. You know where your food is coming from, the quality is great, and the money that you spend helps to support worthwhile enterprises.

I love that the Takoma Park Farmer's Market is open all year round plus its a wonderful resource for getting to know local farmers and enjoying local produce.

All local . . . good variety . . . great people . . . fun place w/music, statute of Roscoe the chicken - totally great!

It is great to buy food from the people who actually grow it. There is nothing like our tomatoes in August.

They have the best produce as well as dairy, meat, even bakery goods!!! They have freshly made pasta, as well as some of the most interesting heirloom plants available to the home gardener!

The Takoma Park Farmer's Market has offered top quality fruits, vegetables, cheeses, breads, sausages, plants, flowers for at least the 23 years that I've had the pleasure of living in Takoma Park. AND, meeting up at the Farmer's Market on Sunday morning is one of our greatest pleasures. Everyone is friendly, committed to loving Mother Earth, and committed to building and sustaining community. Fun too are the musicians who often hand out.

It's a great place to get plants, flowers, fruit and veggies, honey, and more. And a great gathering place for the entire community.

Grew up in Takoma Park, home to a wonderfully diverse and progressive community where the overall culture of the neighborhood truly embodies principles in harmony with organic living, sustainability and conservation.

Not only is it about good, fresh food--from homebaked breads, to gorgeous cut flowers that always make me smile, to local goat cheese, to garden plants, to antibiotic-free meats and eggs, to every imaginable fruit and veggie--it's also about community. It's a place to hear local musicians, meet and talk with friends, and also to catch the energy of Takoma Park's wonderful hometown main street. It's the best of small-town living in the midst of the urban jungle. Five stars plus!!

Friendly people and a weekly field trip for kids and adults to learn about growing foods.

It's a friendly local market with a great selection, it's year-round, and it is just as devoted to the community as the community is to it!

always full of everything you could want or need. Music, shopping, food and flowers.

I support community efforts to offer foods grown within a 200 mile radius or closer- it's better for the environment, better for animals, better for humans, better for me:)

The market is small, but they have a good variety of products including organic meat and dairy vendors. It is strongly supported by the local community and features owner-grown vendors only.

I live a few blocks from the market. It's such a joy to walk there every Sunday. The produces are fresh and tasty and the sellers(farmers) are also very friendly and knowledgable.

The market start early (don't know what time), and end at two. It operates year-round.

Highly recommend!!!
