Reviews for: Coventry Regional Farmers' Market

If you want to discover New England, start here.

It has wondrful variety and great vendors and the market master and her associates are just the best.

It's friendly, diverse, supports local CT farmers who present lovely and very fresh produce, offers outstanding baked goods (including a gluten-free baker!) and a good range of well-made crafts AND it is family and dog-friendly. What more could you ask for . . . except for perfect weather every Sunday. The many dedicated volunteers deserve a huge thanks.

They have such an amazing assortment of vendors and items for sale every single week! They also offer and fabulous newsletter which really urges and entices us to attend regularly. Its incredibly informative. I love it. Good people, great location, many vendors - what more can we want? They are wonderful!

Its exciting, there is a wonderful mix of vendors, there's always music. Its like a hometown fair every weekend, kids, dogs, fun and most of your Coventry friends are there. Regina Malsbary

I love the sense of togetherness of a community that it gives to the area and all the great food!

What's not to support? Fresh local ingredients, education, entertainment, a wholesome environment of community that supports the local vendors. It's not just a place to do your shopping. It's like a community event, a block party. This is how Coventry Regional Farmers Market makes me feel, and I only read their posts on Facebook. I can't wait to see how I feel when I get there.

Theres so much variety, and everything is so fresh. It brings a sence on community to the town, you get to see people from Coventry amd surronding towns

I grew up in Coventry and have been very pleased to have a reason to make it a Sunday destination , where I meet friends and family and new friends on Sunday Mornings. Warm, inviting, fabulous vendors and a huge commitment from the organizers make it a must-go place to be. I drive almost an hour to go back and it's worth it. Thanks for bringing my hometown to the rest of the area and allowing me to give my new friends a reason to visit Coventry and it's amazing Farmer's Market.

The farmers market brings community and surrounding towns support to local farmers, musicians and all of the wonderful events products that it provides. This is so important at a time when people are feeling a financial crunch.This folks together in a healthy and fun way.

We always have a great time when we're at the market, there's always something new to try or buy!

It is a warm happy feeling everytime I attend. Everyone seems to be having a great time.

It's the best of the local markets; it has a wide representation of items, and you often have more than one choice of vendors for the same item (giving options to the shoppers). They also have themes and entertainment, giving more than just a shopping experience.

I support the Coventry Regional Farmers' market because it has a wide range of vendors, giving support to local craft people as well as food producers. The "staff" is exceedingly friendly, and the customers are more supportive and friendly than any other market I have seen. The general atmosphere is warm and inviting.

The market is just big enough to carry everything I could ever want and small enough to feel like community. Yum!

We meet up with friends there, get the freshest, best-grown produce available, and have access to local artist's and artisan's works. All on lovely historic grounds with easy parking!

I think taking advantage of fresh produce and products is the only way to go. I enjoy the coventry farmers soooo much.

I love the fact that the Coventry Farmers Market is dog friendly! I take my dog just about every week to buy the wonderful treats available there!

The folks who present and sell at the market are always grateful for your business. It is not just another day to them-at least that is how they make you feel. There is eye contact, smiles and well wishes PLUS conversation if you wish to engage. The perfect setting is also fun. Just love it!!

The setting is picture perfect, the historic home of Nathan Hale. The selection is outstanding, a wide assortment of produce which looks more like art it's so picture perfect, wonderful baked goods, plants, dairy products produced no more than 12 miles away, great food vendors, live demonstrations, great music, farm animals. Its an event every week!!!

It's important to support local farmers, merchants & services, and Coventry has alot of talent and much to offer, and it's right in our own back yard.

always fresh produce. Local vendors to support the comunity, and prices are a huge part of the reason I attend.

It's a whole community of people coming together to provide a market, a place to socialize, gather with friends, and purchase many locally grown and produced foods. It doesn't get any better than this!

fresh delicious food, fresh entertainment ideas, beautiful location, interesting lectures (especially mushroom and edible weeds days). An event I look forward to each week.

The best selection of a variety of goods, from cheese to bread, pastry, coffee, fruits, vegetables, pottery, fibers plus live entertainment, pet friendly in beautiful surroundings. What more could a girl ask for..........and an all around great time!

First of all, I live in Coventry so to have something so wonderful in our own town to brag about makes me very proud of our community. What I find so wonderful is the one on one with local farmers and artisans of all kinds. Through the market I have learned to try new foods and herbs, how to prepare them what they are used for and the benefits of all these wonderful foods.

I miss the farmers' markets in Europe and look forward to going to Coventry Market and pretending I am back in Europe. I like the variety and quality of foods - had the most wonderful pizza this year. When we introduce friends they are truly amazed and in love with purchases. Thanks again for this wonderful market.

the atmosphere is wonderful and the special events are fun. The veggies, cheeses, breads and other "specials" like chocolates are delicious. The traveling flatbread/pizza maker who uses the local produce from the Market is a real treat.

fresh organic local products, amazing baked goods, fun to see friends and dogs, great music, crafts

There is a fabulous array of foods and products. They have the best news letter ever.

I shop at farmers markets wherever I go, here or abroad. Coventry Farmers market stands out for its variety, quality, the great excitement building themes, the excellent entertainment and also, the friendliest vendors!

It has such much character with it's variety each weeks and I love supporting local crafters and farmers.

I have attended several farmer markets in Ct. I love the Coventry market because of the diversity of vendors, the quality products offered and the special themes each week!

Shopping at a local market makes good sense in this day and age. The Coventry Farmers Market has a warm, friendly spirit, great food and great music. Great Vendors.

I've been going since day one and always find something new. The planning and the newsletter are excellent as are the products and people.

very simply, it's the best market around - excellent theme planning & organization, wonderful new ideas for things to bring to the market, a very varied menu of interesting vendors - just the best!!!

Good variety of stuff, food, music, and a great location for an enjoyable outing.

The market is full of fun things. The biggest draw for us is the large amount of things to do for kids. My daughters love this almost as much as I do.

Greatest diversity of local and regional produce and products; activities to delight everyone; helpful, knowledgeable and friendly folks; AND a beautiful location.

It's fun. Delicious food, lovely crafts and friendly people. What more could you want.

Aside from the delicious offerings, this is a delightful happening where you may meet old and new friends and just take in the pleasure of the surroundings.

Best regional market for locally & Organic grown produce, meat, seafood etc....There isn't another one like this around.

Each week brings a new theme with a wide selection of fresh grown products as well as homemade products. The venue at the Hale Homestead is a wonderful place combining history and homemade products, like the 1700's.

Attractive site, well-organized, every week there's a theme and there's always something interesting happening. Music, baby goats, gorgeous produce, meat, cheeses and so much more...what's not to love?

The Coventry Regional Farmers' Market is the friendlies market I have been to anywhere in the US, they have a great selection of goods, and fair prices.

The quality and variety of produce, fruits and products are fantastic. Many farmers offer organic alternatives; especially the produce cultivated by Pam and Dave of Crooker Farm. Also, the baked goods are outstanding!!! The historic Nathan Hale Homestead adds a special patriotic theme to the market and our history as the greatest country in the world.

I love getting the freshest produce available during the summer and helping out the local farmers!

Best market around. My kids love wearing the Friend of the Market pin and being recognized by vendors.

Why WOULDN'T you support it? It is the best market. I wish it went year round!

I've been there the last two sundays and I'd have to say that it's the best farmers market by far. Produce,local cheese,local beef,good fish,pickles,kettlecorn,coffee,fudge,bread,pastries and more.Well worth the visit. Great place to bring kids.

They've always provided quality products at great prices and the kids love to visit!

Great crafts, great food, live music, great themes, beautiful location...need I say more?

Fantastic people that volunteer there. Lots of unique ideas for themes ( like the tomato festival turned into a fungus festival after tomato blight took out to many tomatos)

They have soo many vendors. Everyone is always so smiley and has great stuff to offer. LOVE going every Sunday.

They have a few great standard vendors every single week and fill in with great variety!

This is a great way to support local growers and allow people to get fresh, loclly produced foods and craft items.

The Kettle Korn! The programming! The appreciation for local vendors! The variety! The entertainment! The fact that we're open longer throughout the year now! Yay!

I love the people, the effort they put into it, and overall everything. They try to do something for everyone's interests, and are simple amazing!!!!

It has multi crafts vendors, local entertainment, fundraisers for various organizations, many participating farms of varied foods and a learning ground where a variety of activities concerning food and drink are coordinated. Meet many friends and neighbors.

Best selection of vendors; best activities; weekly knitters' get-together; dog friendly

They take the farmer's market experience to a new level! They're getting CT residents excited about local vendors - it's what every market should be about. Supporting local!

It is a lively market that is well organized and attended. I love the various market themes, the plentiful amount of vendors, and the easy-going environment.

What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family! Music, animals, super friendly vendors, and yummy food. What more could you ask for?

Fresh off the farm produce, Kettlekorn, fudge. Wonderful artisans, friendly people. Lots of variety, something new every week! Well organized.

Great variety! Bakers, crafts, fresh veggies, fudge, and lots more. Live music every week, and a special "theme" each Sunday.

Wonderful variety of vendors, great support of local vendors. I drive all the way from MA just to go to this market. And how smart to hold it at Nathan Hale Homestead. Besides a beautiful location, it also helps to support tourism with the homestead. Great market ever!

Our very favorite market of the 8+ that we do! Whta's better then to have wonderful customers, fabulous vendors and great thems and music each week. That isn't work at all!!

Why not? It's incredible! Fantastic variety of vendors and products run by fabulously motivated people who are committed to bringing high quality local products to the public. Not to mention the market is held at an historical home that's very dear to my family.

Fresh foods, Great people, Easy access. The Market captures the spirit of 'Community' by merging Connecticut's agricultural and revolutionary history at a central location. I haven't shopped at a grocery store for anything but juice since it opened.

It has the most diverse group of vendors anywhere in Ct. Everyone is so friendly and the fresh produce is great.There is always something new. I love the special events every weekend.

I love teh diversity of goods the market offers. I love the breads and the coffee. Nothing tastes better than fresh produce and the beef is out of this world.

This is the best Farmer's Market around. Great vendors, great organizers, great location. We love to come out on Sunday mornings in our 1935 Ford Woody Wagon and just join in the fun.

Set on the beautiful Nathan Hale homestead, Coventry's Farmers' Market offers an almost fair-like atmosphere to lend support to our local growers and artisans!

It supports local businesses and growers, encourages organic products, fresher produce and good neighbors.

The talent and sophistication of the local vendors is an inspiration - a great way to spend the day sampling, mingling and being inspired to live simply and live well!

There is no reason not to support Coventry's Regional Farmer's Market. The Farmers' market concept is critical to our survival and livelihood. It is important to support local, organic and independent businesses to aid in our economy and to get back what the country stands for. That was the American Dream, not what is has become as a monopoly in corporate America. Absolutley, I would support any farmers market over a corporate distribution. Thank you

I support Coventry Regional Farmers' Market because it is the BEST darn market there is! It's a market rich with diversity and the community building is contagious!

Not only is there local produce, but local baked goods and artisans are also available. The atmosphere is so inviting!

I love the opportunity to shop for my produce and baked goods in such a lively atmosphere. I always run into students and their families - so nice to see the community supporting an excellent farmers market. I have visited many farmers markets in my travels around New England, New York City and Boulder, Colorado - Coventry is the best in my book!

I love that it's at the Nathan Hale Homestead, it is so beautiful there. It has been great to see the market grow over the last few years and I love their weekly themes. I think the organizers have done a wonderful job and CT has a lot to offer in terms of farm to table products - not to mention all the wonderful CT made items like Willow's soap and others!

Each Sunday at farmer's market it isn't just buying vegetables. It is a community! Located at a historic landmark the farmer's market has brought a new life to the Nathan Hale House. You see friends, you listen to music, you buy meat and cheese and eggs and veggies and pottery and wool and Indian food. It is terrific.

Besides the wonderful shopping which inspires great meals, I always learn something, enjoy the fair like atmosphere, and just have a good time walking around the lovely new site at Nathan Hale's homestead. It is a great way to enjoy a summer Sunday and get good groceries at the same time!

There are many vendors, great variety, although I have my favorites. Everyone is so friendly, and eager to answer any questions about gardening. All the food is very fresh.

We love going to the market on Sundays. We get there, my husband grabs a coffee and we walk around tasting samples and planning what to buy for that night's dinner. We have lunch in the shade and bump in to lots of people we know. It is a great way to support local grown food and products and I look forward to it every week.

The Coventry Farmer's market is THE place to be on a Sunday morning, for the freshest in produce,dairy & even meats. We love picking up fresh fruits, veggies and eggs to use in our breakfast dishes here at The Daniel Rust House B&B! Knowing the vendors are all local business' is a big plus too.

This market is like going on a field trip every week! It's so much FUN and the vendors are friendly, the produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods and other foods delicious and the work of the artisans beautiful.

Wonderful vegetables, friendly vendors, good food, even our dog Oliver cannot wait for Sundays!!

The setting is wonderful, the artisans are original and the local produce can't be beat. Vendors are friendly and delightful to converse with. It is not only fun to shop and sample the many food offerings, but it is "feel good" way to spend a few hours amongst the children, dogs, and people of every age. Music and entertainment provide just the right atmosphere for an enjoyable experience every time.

The Coventry Regional Farmers' Market is by far the most spirited and diverse market I've ever attended, and I've visited markets from California, to Ohio, to Washington, DC., and throughout Connecticut. The variety of local products offered is wonderful, and the spirit and love that all the volunteers pour into this summer event makes it a must-do every Sunday!

My grandfather's cow bell rings to open and close the Farmers' Market. How proud he would be to see such beautiful fresh produce, meat from humanely raised animals, amazing artisan ware, plants, baked goods and so much more. The spirit of community is alive and well, as seen on the smiling faces of shoppers, vendors and guest speakers. Even the dogs are happy.

I find local quality artisans, awesome friends, great food, festive atmosphere, fresh/organic produce, and it is obvious that joy and caring go into everything that is orchestrated there! The best of the best!

I live only a few miles away from the market and visit it every Sunday when I'm home. They have a wide variety of vendors, and I can get all my shopping for the week done there from local folks!

A great selection of fresh new products and great folks! We go almost every Sunday!

I love the fresh products, large variety and friendly people. They are also VERY dog-friendly - which is a huge plus for me. But, most importantly, I like to support local growers and vendors over the big conglomerates!

A fabulous community, always innovative, beautifully organized without losing any of its earthiness, and, without fail, a little something for everybody. A whirlwind of smiling people, delightful pets, and sensory and gustatory delights, I never leave this market without making a stop at the my favorite vendors to restock on favorite items or having something new in my basket. I inevitably end my visit refreshed, renewed, and sated, with an entirely new and anticipatory perspective on my coming week. A heavenly oasis in my busy life. :)

Because they support local growers and have the most delicious veggies, dairy, etc. anywhere!

It is not just a market it is an event. We love the weekly themes and the setting at the Nathan Hale Homestead is beautiful. The wide assortment of vendors allows you to do your shopping for the week.

The locally grown produce is excellent, and there is a wonderful spirit about the crowd. The cute kids and dogs are worth the trip.

I've been to most of the local farmers market and none can top Coventry! There is such a variety of quality local products. It's just a joy to be there.

We visit with our kids every weekend. The location is so kid friendly and the crafts and games make this market more than a place to buy items but a place to spend the day.
