Reviews for: Lawrence Farmers Market

The food, the feeling, and the atmosphere of the Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market are all such positive experiences. It's a great way to start your weekend: Gathering with and supporting your community.

Our market has amazing variety of produce, nagtural meats, baked goods, household items, is organized well and laid out beautifully and is the highlight of my week during summertime!

Not only is there a great selection of produce, flowers and plants, baked good and yummy prepared food, but there is music, educational tables and a place to sit with friends and enjoy the markets and visit with friends. There is a real sense of community.

Saturday morning at the Lawrence Farmer's Market is a community event, where friends meet and and shop for local produce while listening to live local music.

There's nothing like the Farmer's Market. Everybody there is kind, intelligent, helpful, and their merchandise is always fresh, healthy, and the best tasting food in all of Lawrence! The home-made soaps, blankets, and other items you can find there are a pleasure to see, smell, touch, and use. There's no place like it.

Love Circle S tamales, fresh eggs, Richard Bean the bee man. So much to see and decide what will make a great meal. It has grown so much since we first started coming.

It has great produce, meats, and flowers. There is live music. I usually see people I know there.

For the variety of products all grown locally, wonderful local entertainment, and great friendships.

The Lawrence Farmers' Market is wonderful! The people are so friendly, the assortment is wonderful & it's a great excuse to go to one of the coolest towns around, Lawrence, KS!

I enjoy using the freshest ingredients available. It is great to know where your food comes from in this day of shipping long distances. .

Beautiful produce, all locally grown. Wide variety of value-added products. Fun events. Yummy!

Great variety, communication, on-site entertainment and accomodations. All locally grown and produced items.

Making friends with the people who grow your food, and being able to say thank you, makes everything taste so much better!.

The Lawrence Farmers' Market is friendly and casual and truly expresses a small-town spirit with a large city variety of items ranging from emu to exotic plants to flavored honey sticks. There is something for everyone!

i love lawrence farmer's market because they are just the friendliest, sweetest folks and have the best all around products i have bought.

The market has all local farmers who bring their produce in from their nearby farms. There is a wide selection, and you can talk to the farmers about how they grow the food they're selling. Also, every week there are special events going on - musical performers, a salsa-making contest, tomato sampling, etc.

It is the best farmers' market in the region because it has produce, plants, meat, and homemade products that are locally grown or made. You will not see crafts or shipped in items here. We are all proud of our local farmers!!!

The variety, the fresh selection, the unique characters and the great collection of ever changing options - each week is a little different.

The farmer's market brings our community together in a very healthy way and nurtures local relationships between consumers and producers. I love the organic produce, meats, and locally grown native plants.

The Downtown Lawrence Farmer's Market is a wonderful place to see friends and buy beautiful local produce. It is a colorful and inviting way to spend a Saturday morning!!

I like the products that are avalable and prefer to shop local and support local folks.

I love supporting local producers and keeping my dollars in the community. Great produce, people, and atmosphere! Nourishing for the body and mind!

There is a great variety of items from vegetables to meats and eggs, to flowers, to baked goods.

There is always fresh, local, organic food available. The vendors are all friendly and helpful. I love building relationships with the people who grow my food. these are the reasons why I support the Lawrence Farmers Market.

Going to the Farmers' Market is a way to support the community while visiting with friends and passively teaching my son the importance of shopping local.

Great food, flowers, and plants. Sense of connection with the growers and the other shoppers.

What better reason to wake up early and greet my town? The products and people make it one of my favorite places to be!

When I travel back to Lawrence to visit my niece and her family we always shop at Farmers' Market - I love the clean friendly store environment and the food is always fresh and delicious. Good Luck Farmers' Market. Sincerely, Mary Williams from Burley, Idaho

My husband and I love to support our local farmers. We truly adore and appreciate all of the incredible produce, seasonable fruits, eggs and meat products. Being a vegetarian for more than 20 years, knowing (and meeting) the source of my meals is a satisfying security. We look forward to early Saturday mornings to head to the market and our husky expects the routine each weekend as well. The atmosphere is so inviting and a highlight to kick off the weekend! Thank you Lawrence and all of our awesome local farmers!

The produce at the Downtown Lawrence Farmer's Market is better and often cheaper than what I find at the grocery store. There are items at the market I simply can't get anywhere else (kohlrabi, for example). And I always run into someone I know. The Saturday morning market always starts my weekend off right.

The Farmer's Market was where we spent our Saturday when we were little. Everywhere we have lived, we keep that tradition with our children. Fresh food and community, what better way to start your day.

The DLFM is a producer market. I know that what I am buying is grown by the person selling it to me. I know them, they know me. I know that this relationship impacts the choices they make when raising their products. This market and its producer members go the extra mile to create a wonderful community atmosphere.

I love being able to talk with the farmers and learn about their practices. The market is a wonderful part of our community.

I support Downtown Lawrence Farmer's Market because I believe that fresh food is the best food.

The best Saturday morning breakfast you can find anywhere! A great place to take kids, dogs and out-of-town friends.

Always good, plentiful produce, and great people. We need to support local farmers.

Wonderful produce, both organic and conventional. Local and a community tradition, Saturday mornings.

Everyone is happy at the Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market! It really feels like a community of family when you go. The items are always great--it's just a real treat to be a part of it!

It is a great community gathering place and promotes good healthy living and eating.

Fresh local food and community building as it brings people together to support others in the community.

Friends, fresh everything, diversity in goods, eating local to help the planet and the local economy.

It is a professional and classy looking market. There are quality controls in place to make sure all the vendors are selling locally grown produce.

They have the freshest produce and handmade and baked goods. It's fun to see our local farmers there.

Great produce, wonderful community event! It is truly local, with a wide range of fruits, vegetables, meats, baked goods and flowers, just to name a few of the choices.

There is a wonderful variety of vendors and the merchandise is outstanding. The farmers are local and it gives Lawrence another wonderful opportunity to support them. There is a strong sense of community at the market and many are recognized as valued supporters.

It is diverse as well as local, so you are apt to see something new on each visit. Plus the greenhouses and small growers supply excellent plant starts. Even better, while shopping you will see everyone you know and some additional people you should know. If that's not enough, the variety of dogs taking their owners around to see the sights is amazing.

It is simply the finest I've ever attended. Everybody and everything is local, local, local.

It feels good to support the local farmers and I trust the products that I purchase there. My girls seem more willing to try fruits and vegetables that we pick/buy here and they enjoy talking/asking questions of the sellers.

The sellers are all true locals. They are friendly and generous about free advice on preparing their produce. Or even on growing your own rather than buying from them. It is such a pleasant atmosphere, even when I don't need anything I go to enjoy the music, the friendly folks, and the beautiful produce.

Friendly people with a varity of fresh products that help support all of our local farmers.

Not only is the produce wonderful, but the gathering of community every Saturday morning (and weekday afternoons) is priceless!!

Great food,great community experience and a wonderful opportunity to support local farmers!

The friendly atmosphere/community feel, makes me feel like my family is in step with Lawrence. Every week we see friends with no names, remove our mask and talk weather, site at the same table and break bread, or just enjoy watching the characters of Lawrence, And the locally produced veggies and baked goods, are just better tasting than our local markets product.

Wonderful produce, grass fed beef, eggs from freerange chickens. All from hard working down to earth people.

Variety of vendors, great music, local and organic produce, and I can walk or ride my bike to it.

This is the best place within a 50+ mi. radius to purchase fresh, local food, flowers, baked goods, quality handmade items, and to interact with the grower/producer. Having the opportunity to listen to live music is a plus, and to visit with friends.

Best selection and most interesting veggies and people that I've seen in Kansas!

Every day I go to the market is a good day...wonderful people, wonderful produce and a great market.

great community gathering place and greta local produce. Great gathering place and local produce.

The food is nutritious, gorgeous, fresh and local, and the growers are some of the nicest people around. Its a privilege to buy from them! The market is also a wonderful and diverse community event, with food, live music, people of all ages, dogs, and lots of visiting.

Good locally grown food, strengthens the local economy, meaningful social relationships, self-actualizing, healthful and sustainable community enterprise.

Wonderful people growing fresh, fabulous local food as well as growing community. Healthy on so many levels!

A local/regional food system is becoming more and more critical with the growing peak oil inflation of agricultural inputs, and the increasing constrictions on agricultural productivity due to climate destabilization. As the oldest farmers' market in Kansas, the Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market is positioned to respond to these global agricultural crises. And the market vendors have great food!

Because it is a great place to sell our produce. The customers are wonderful and are not afarid to try out the strange things we love to grow.

I'm a food writer and I know food and producers all over the world, from Barcelona to San Francisco. Lawrence merits more than a nod.

I love the fresh produce and like to support local businesses/farmers. I especially love it during apple and sweet corn season, but there is always great produce to be found there.

The Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market is a great celebration of local foods and local community. The market is the oldest in the state and is a "growers only" market. This means that all the delicious, fresh produce is grown by the farmer you buy from...not so at all markets.

The quality and value of the goods sold at Lawrence's Farmer's Market is unbeatable. It's also a great place to learn about local produce and socialize with friends.

An important community gathering venue where you can find an excellent selection of locally grown food and products. The location combined with the backdrop of a beautiful community mural makes it perfect.

The quality of the food and value added products our local growers produce wins, hands down. I have shopped many other farmers' markets and none of them can match what we offer here in Lawrence, KS

Well managed, great location, friendly-informed-but-not-pushy vendors, and best variety of fresh local produce, flowers, and local meats I have ever encountered at an American farmers' market - and I have been to quite a few. Everything is clearly from local/regional farms - no industrial produce faking it as locally grown. And fresh local food is plentiful, as opposed nic-nacs and crafty items. Great mix of people attending every weekend.

I love this market because all of the vendors are local and you never see people trucking produce in from California with stickers on it. I love that I can always find everything I want in shopping locally: meat AND eggs AND produce AND flowers AND breads AND even a just-cooked breakfast tamale and coffee. This market rocks.

There's a great variety of products available, and the energy level -- even at 7 a.m. -- is inspiring. The sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures make it truly a feast for the senses and a locavore's delight.

It's a great place for the whole family. And that's even before you start looking at all the produce!

Great food, great people, great community spirit! It's what a farmers' market should be!

The farmer's are one of a kind and so friendly--even for the produce novice like myself. And, as a dog lover, I enjoy the special community which arrives in style with pups, children, family and friends. It's just a must every Saturday!

I love the variety of fresh foods and products available! The entertainment energizes the atmosphere and helps me wake up on an early Saturday morning!

As the oldest Farmers Market in Kansas, it has been a part of my life since I can remember. My Mom used to wake us early to get Mary Flory's cinnamon rolls. In college, I introduced my fiends to the experience. And now, I hope to be a vendor sometime soon.

The BEST assortment of fresh veggies, meats, and organic eggs! Friendly people who are also very knowledgeable and helpful!

The wonderful selection of sustainably raised meats!!! Beef, Buffalo, Elk, Emu, Lamb, Goat, Pork, Chickens, Ducks....probably forgetting something. Love it!!

It has guaranteed local food and other products and a large choice of that is organically grown. It's also a great place to run into friends and let the kids dance to music.

It's the greatest! Because everything is fresh (and organic) I do practically all of my grocery shopping at the market!! The variety is great and I can stock up on all my produce, meat, eggs bakery items, etc. at just one stop. My only regret is that it is not year-round...

not only do you get to support your local growers, you get to enjoy live entertainment, learn new recipes featuring the seasonal products, see friends and neighbors...

I love the Lawrence Farmers Market because it is a great source of delicious and superfresh local produce and also because it builds community, bringing people together from all over the area to meet, talk, and, of course, eat

The Lawrence Farmers Market paints a unique picture of the midwest farmland, complete with seasonal specialties such as asparagus, tomatoes, berries, and corn and a meat-heavy offering of local and organic products. Especially unique is the opportunity to visit many of the farms and pick-your-own produce or see massive bison up close as they graze in an open field. Friendly and familiar faces, a sense of community, and a love and respect for the local land make this market the place to be!

Great community event with amazing selection. You can do so much of the shopping there.

Always want to support local and we can get rools like our grandmother used to make that are the best..

Buying local produce from friendly people who know their stuff is just easy and makes sense.

While the produce and other products available are consistently wonderful, fresh and varied, the true beauty of the market is the people. The farmers and vendors are friendly and knowledgeable.....and the market draws people from all over Lawrence. The Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market is quintessential Lawrence.

Great products, warm and friendly people and a wonderful variety. Good location.

Everyone is always so happy at the market, and the organizers work hard to improve it every year.

When I visit my parents in Lawrence, I always make the Farmers' Market a priority. I appreciate that the members of the market bring foods from nearby areas, not trucking strawberries from the Salinas Valley. The farmers are always pleasant and interested in sharing facts and stories directly or loosely related to their goods. Also, the members bring music and other forms of entertainment to the market often, adding another enjoyable layer to the atmosphere.

Our market is wonderful! Our toddler loves dancing to the music of local musicians, seeing all the friendly kids and dogs and smiling neighbors, eating fresh fruits and vegetables and breakfast foods....We love all the same things, plus we love knowing where our food comes from and meeting our food producers. Farmers' markets are community! And they hopefully represent not just the past but the future of good food.

The produce wonderful and fresh.. It is always fun to visit with friends and enjoy the music! A great place to be on Saturday morning!!

Because they are the best place to get local produce and strike up some conversation with your neighbors! Also, it is almost like going to a fun festival every weekend!

Local food is fresh, safe, nutritious, and delicious, and it gives me the chance to keep my dollars in the community. The atmosphere is fun and festival-like. I feel so lucky to live in a city with a thriving Farmer's Market. They also have a very informative newsletter and many special events.

Excellent Local produce, Great local growers, lots of variety-food, pottery, flowers, baked items. Friendly atmosphere, wonderful music, fun programs. Everyone walks around happy, pace is slow and friendly. Space is just large enough without being overwhelming.

The produce is always amazingly fresh and the farmers and merchants are always so friendly.

lovely sense of local community and great variety of local produce, meats, flowers, products, etc. Music, families and fun!

it's such a great atmosphere, with good food and lots of friendly folks! plus, i love knowing where my food comes from!
