Reviews for: Downtown Hickory Farmers' Market

It's my Sat am fun. Nice people, good produce and baked items, fun special events all in the morning air.

Great selection, tremendous variety, fantastic prices, and fresher and tastier produce than we can get in ANY local grocery store!!!!!

I support Downtown Hickory Farmers' Market in Hickory, NC because they are the best. I do not get up there often enough but when I go I make the most of my visit. I can find most anything I want/need there. A great shopping experience.

It is so important, in today's world of chemically treated foods grown in nutrient deficient soils, that we have the opportunity to purchase locally grown, often organic, produce that the farmers' market provides.

The local farmers - both of produce and animal products- are informative and friendly. Their products are fresh and great tasting. The flowers and baked goods are also reason to get there. My kids love "picking" the veggies and that is near choo-choo tracks. Entertaining for the entire family.

i support our local farmers & this puts money in their pockets and supports the local economy. i love the fresh produce and the atmosphere of the market itself. i love saturday mornings!

I truly enjoy the fresh fruits and vegetables! The experience & atmosphere of attending the Farmer's Market is such an enjoyable one, and such a wonderful way of supporting our community!

Fresh food, good company and I can order online if needed. I love the convenience and can always find a parking place! Also a great place to ask questions about my own growing problems or just talk with vendors about farming..everyone is so helpful and informative. A great place to hear a child laughing too!

I love the variety of LOCALLY grown fruits and vegetables, fresh breads and cheeses, meats, eggs, and beautiful flowers. Each year the market HAS expanded its offerings and its programming. And I am pleased to see more farmers offering organically grown produce. I love it!

I can order the produce in advance and pick it up on Wednesday, knowing that I do not have to be there at the stroke of 12 noon to get the veggies, etc. that I want. There is such a big variety, and I am always willing to try something new!! Then I mix in a little nostalgia, as I have fond memories of my husband and grandchildren selling our homegrown vegetables at the farmers' market when we lived in Virginia!!

I love being able to purchase local produce, rather than fruits and vegetables that were grown in South America and have been on a truck for a week! It has been really nice having the vendors display information about where and how the items were grown. I like knowing whether or not pesticides were used.

It's a wonderful place to go on Wednesday and Saturday to buy whatever produce I need. I can also find produce that is sometimes difficult to find, such as October beans. It also has a good variety of other sellers such as baked goods, soaps, and canned items. There is a lot of parking in the area so it is easily accessed. Everyone is friendly that sells.

Great community support, providing local farmers a way of distrbuting their labor of love.

It's a great place to go for a great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. We go every week.

Convenience, local vendors, excellent selection, especially the "goat cheese lady" on Wednesdays. Only wish could be bigger

The booths are all set up attractively and conveniently, and the products are SO fresh and delicious! It is also dog friendly. I only miss it when I am out of town. Wonderful.

I love the vendors and the variety. I also love the feeling of community there at the market. As I become more concerned with the source and the quality of my food, I feel so good about the products available at our market.

the people are very friendly and the food is very fresh, it always smells great!! my boyfriend and his family have a spot where they sell the most beautiful flowers!! they have been there for years and it is their favorite market to go to

This farmers market has a wonderful selection of locally grown products. The vendors are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming!

Nice fresh air and great fresh produce. And you know it's not flown in from Brazil, it's local.

It is a fun social and allows you to " hand pick " your own fresh fruits and veggies... walk about, meet your neighbors, support our growers and find some unique crafts...see you there

The quality of the produce, and plants! But, I also like to support our local farmers.

Hickory has a real farmers market, I live in Conover and if they think this a farmers market in Conover they need to come to Hickory. Conover has a flea market and they say local ,125 mile radius 4 states ,The one in Conover is a joke and if the tax payers knew they were paying 15,000 a year for a flea market they wouls SH-- in there pants

Local organic & chemical free produce; local goat cheese; herbs, & wonderful, helpful vendors!

Food is fresh and locally grown; prices are reasonable; people are friendly; a great place to meet people and buy healthy food that supports the local community.

They've tried very hard to stay true to the farmer's market principles of good local fresh produce, meat and flowers.

Great items! Delicious! Very friendly vendors who know you and stand by their produce. Wonderful experience especially for the children.

I love the locality of the produce and the great flavor it produces. Much much better than store-bought.

Love to support the local farmers. They have so much to offer and it's a real social occasion!

We always find the freshest produce and the friendliest people twice a week at the Downtown Hickory Farmers' Market.

I wanted to support all the local family farmers who work so hard to grow their crops! God Bless all of you!

They have wonderful produce and locally made products, friendly, and fun for the family to visit.

I love fresh fruit and vegetables. I love the fresh squeezed lemonade and Orangade.

Love the fresh produce and home made items plus it's a great place to see friends and neighbors

Locally grown food is amazing! The local made crafts and vendors supply me with great natural products!

It is convenient to my place of employment and all the vendors are nice and have exceptional items.

Always like to support our local growers. Enjoy the fresh & some ORGANIC fruits, veggies, meats, the wonderful Goat cheeses & lemondade/orangeade. The flowers & plants are always a plus for home or gifting. Especially enjoying running into frineds you haven't seen in awhile. And the folks who have the painted glass are so nice as all the vendos are. Don't leave us!!

I have always enjoyed farmers markets and flea markets....downtown Hickorys Farmers Market is very complete.....a little of all u need in produce.

Close to our neighborhood. Love fresh vegetables. Support the local economy and run into friends.

The produce is fresh, the prices are competitive and supporting our local farmers makes us feel good.

I am glad to support our local farmers and friends. We have a bustling market with a variety of goodies and vendors are eager to share tips and experiences. It's truly a community building time.

Friendly people and great produce at reasonable prices......always there rain or shine!

Fresh vegetables, fruits, bake goods, goat cheese and lovely flowers are available. There are friendly vendors and often I have a chance to visit with friends and neighbors who have stopped by to purchase from these vendors.

Love being able to get fresh vegetables and flowers each week! Really enjoy supporting our local farmers.

Great place to see old and new Friends, great selection of fresh (mainly local produce and organic meat, some crafts, and goodies.

Fresh local food is a treat to have available to us. I love Saturday mornings picking up fruits, veggies and flowers!

The lady that runs it is wonderful. She brings locals in and gives back to the community.

Because the produce is nice and the vendor's are friendly. The variety of vendor's is growing.

They have greatpeople who do their best to stand by and help no matter where you are !!

Hickory's Market is very friendly! There is always a variety of produce and crafts....as a vendor AND customer it makes a world of difference!!!

It is local community based. I find that the farmers market is a very social way to get my marketing done. It is outside in fresh air. I get to see my neighbors that I may otherwise not see. All in all, it lends itself to providing the convivial way of life that I want to live.

Fresh healthy produce, community support and an opportunity to connect with friends.

The market is organized and the products are varied and delicious. I like supporting our local farmers and this market supports our farmers and provides a wonderful service for the city folks.

A close friend of mine brought some veggies from there that were absolutely great, and she has raved about the place constantly.

I visit my relatives in Hickory and always incorporate a visit to the Farmer's Market into my visit. My wife and I enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere and the fresh produce and other products. Not only do we leave with the freshest produce and meat but we also have a sensation of reconnecting with times past.

I have been to The Asheville Farmer's Market and the Hickory Market and the Hickory Market is much larger, better organized, and has more organic produce.

Even though we have a garden, we still visit the Hickory Farmer's Market EVERY Saturday!!! Not only to purchase items, but to visit the friendly people from the community...what fun!

What a great place to not only find wonderful food and flowers, but it is a great place to see friends and make new ones, too. I enjoy visiting each week.

great place for fresh vegetables and flowers. love the goat cheese and herbs too!

I really appreciate having the market in town on Wednesday afternoons. I've been going every week for 2 years. The vendors are very nice and helpful, the produce is reasonably priced and very good.

The Hickory Farmers Market is a fun place for our family to go. We make a point to try to be there each week. We love it.

Friendly, local farmers. Fresh veggies, especially the organics. Convenient location in the heart of Hickory.

Extremely courteous and helpful vendors with a large variety of locally grown produce!

Clean, friendly, fresh enviornment. There will be lots of fresh veggies as the season progresses. This week was great.

There is nothing better than a homegrown fresh tomato!! Supporting local business is what community is all about.

The produce is fresh and very reasonably priced. I always buy fresh flowers for my Mom there. The people are so nice. It is a very pleasant place to shop.

I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint as well as improve my diet. The vegetables are simply fabulous! The atmosphere is festive and folks are friendly. What can be better?

Terrific produce, meat, breads, flowers, and merchandise - and friendly, generous vendors. Every week, they donate tons of produce and eggs to a needy family supported by my school. They're the cat's meow as far as we're concerned!

Great vendors and products. A wonderful way to support local farmers and vendors.

Our market is such a fun place to be, with a variety of foods, flowers and herbs. My husband and I enjoy riding our bicycles to the market and buying just enough to fit into our panniers -- sometimes they are quite full! We think that buying local is healthy for our bodies and for the economy!

This is a fun and beneficial trip for my husband and me. The Market is located so that we can have lunch on the town square and do any necessary shopping at the fun stores before loading our car. I see local friends and meet new people as I shop among the vendors. My husband and I buy different items. The food and baked goods are delicious. If I need a gift, there are fantastic plants and flowers. I even bought my herbs there this year. They add alot of flavor to the produce when we get to our kitchen. The fun begins when we bring everything home and decide which foods to group for meals. We always have to buy extra okra or squash because the family gathers around as we cook it and it disappears from the plate before the rest of the meal is prepared.

We take advantage of the fresh, flavorful products grown closest to us. We benefit from buying local food.

The great finds i get there...not only fresh fruits and veggies, but also, beautiful flowers, homemade fried apple pies, handmade soaps, potted plants, etc. We love everything about it.

Fun to shop at Downtown Hickory Farmers' Market, there are so many fresh fruits & veggies.

The produce is excellent that I purchase and the price is reasonable in comparision with local grocery stores. The merchants are always friendly and helpful.

The produce and other goods are always the freshest! It feels good to support local vendors as well as the farmers.

Homegrown fruits and vegetables grown locally that are delicious, healthy, and good for you! It is also important to support your local vendors, and buy locally. The home-baked bread is yummy, and the fresh flowers are beautiful! Judy Tocci

They are a fabulous farmer's market dedicated to bringing as much organic and local produce to us as they can. And, it is also great fun to hang out there on Saturday morning!

as a vendor, we appreciate a place to offer our products and we have some great relationships with other vendors and loyal customers!

Love that good ole Hickory/Catawba County fresh food grown by our folks here in God's country!!

i can get fresh homegrown vegetables, and great plants, arrangements,and flowers. i can set my shopping time to the market open time (wens-sat)

wonderful selection of locally grown produce, convenient location, friendly vendors

I love the opportunity to support the small farmers and businesses and in so doing get the freshest fruits, veggies & products. I am always surprised at the variety of produce, plants, bakery, and other products and love visiting with the friendly folks. It is a WIN WIN for all of us.

It's very important to me that we do everything we can to support our farmers and purchase locally grown produce. Better for out regional economy as well as our diets. Thanks!

I love going to the farmers market on Wed. during my lunch break to pick up fresh fruit and the beautiful flowers they have at great prices. It really makes it feel like summer.

It's close, affordable, has good seasonal variety - and the best fresh cut flowers around!

I love the Downtown Hickory Farmers' Market for the fresh produce, organic meats, plants, soaps, flowers, crafts and, best of all, community! Every town should have one.

I have always enjoyed the produce that all of the vendors bring. The prices are very good, and the vendors are all wonderful people. They are very knowledgeable on different was to prepare the fruits/veggie they have for sale. The vendors who have fresh herbs and plants try to help you with how to use them or how to plant the plants they have for sale. Wonderful group of people.

the products are fresh and good! It is a great service and the merchants are very friendly and appreciate your business.

Fresh, fresh, locsl, locsl food presented by neighbors at a very convenient location and well priced

We love a source of fresh, local produce and specialty products. I also love the beautiful flowers that brighten my home when the market is open.

The quality of the goods offered is wonderful - we are so fortunate to have all of these fine merchants.

I can always find what I want, get help with how to pick out things, and advice on other things.

I like to eat locally grown products and want to support he market vendors that sell locally grown food. There is always something new offered.

I like to eat local and support local people. The market has great quality and increasing quantity each week. I like to see and visit with friends and neighbors while there

Love the vegetables...always fresh! It is a great atmosphere and the vendors are so friendly.

when i moved here many years ago i was really disappointed that there was not a place to by locally grown produce, as i was used to an area with may farm stands scattered throughout. the hickory farmer' market has made it so very convenient to do just that. it's big enough for a wonderful variety of items but small enough so as not to be overwhelming. i hope it continues for many years to come.

Our market has great produce, lovely flowers and plants, and the most kind and knowledgeable people! I enjoy going especially on Wednesdays!

Wonderful opportunity to get local home grown products. Great time to see friends. A true community gathering.
