I was reading your best Farmers Market article and saw a listing for the Glenside Farmers Mkt. there is no Glenside Farmers Mkt listed in Glenside.Pa.
Wayne Pearson, Elkins Park , PA |
There is no Charles Village Farmers Market in Maryland. There is, however, the 32nd Street Farmers Market. It is irrefutably in the Waverly neighborhood, no matter how much the more-affluent Charles Villagers would like to take credit for the best thing that happens in the zip code they share with Waverly.

The Aptos Farmers Market is impressive year-round, with more options than I know what to do with. Hard-to-find mushrooms, kohlrabi, numerous varieties of crisp apples, mountains of fragrant basil, and dry-farmed tomatoes. And don't forget the fair-trade coffee, handcrafted chocolates, pastries, and fresh fish. This market captures what is unique about Santa Cruz County. There is a strong desire to provide sustainable, local goods to the community in a celebratory setting. The entertainment is truly unique, too, from the guy in strange outfits with the accordian to a folk group that draws crowds of families and happy shoppers. Once a month, shop with a chef who teaches you how to select produce and prepare tasty meals. Every weekend, you can meet local pets for adoption from the local shelter or learn about composting and organic gardening. And in the winter, when other markets shrink down to nothing, this one is still going strong. Not to miss!!
Lemonbird, Aptos, CA |
How about adding the Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market located @ 17th & Chew streets in Allentown, PA.
Dick Leshko, Spring Hill, FL |
I'm surprised, we have a very good market here in Syracuse. The Regional Mkt. which brings in vendors from other states as well as NY. Runs th. sat.& sun with a smaller version in downtown on Tues.
rubadeau2, Syracuse, NY |
Please add our brand new (last year) Queen Anne Farmers Market. It started out slowly, but by the end of the season, it was awesome! It even had live musical entertainment.
Cami, Seattle, WA |
The Piedmont Triad Farmer's Market is Greensboro, NC (Sandy Ridge exit from I-40) is fantastic! I'm new to this site - glad to see it on the list!
Kim, High Point, NC |
We have an outstanding Grower's Market here in Ashland, OR on Tuesdays that also happens in Medford on Saturdays.

The Tower Grove Farmers' Market and Bazaar in the Tower Grove Park, St Louis, Missouri, is a great new market, now in its third year.
M. Naas, St Louis, MO |
Granville Island is marvelous. There are also a lot of smaller local markets up here too!
Valerie, Vancouver, BC |
I was sooo happy to see the Rochester Farmers Market listed!!! I miss my Saturday morning trip to the market with my friend Eleanor. We had a great time shopping with all the wonderful, fresh produce, local bakeries,clothes and anything else you wanted. Nothing even close to it here in Columbus!!!
Lois Rogers_poret, Columbus, OH |
Here's another farmer's market to add to your list - in Brooklyn, New York, at the Brooklyn Borough Hall at Court & Montague Streets. It's open year round on Tuesdays & Saturdays, and on Thursdays from April to December. It's smaller than the Union Square greenmarket but has some wonderful vendors and may, in fact, be the second largest greenmarket in New York City after the one in Union Square. It is worthy of listing. Thanks.
Marsha Hogath, Brooklyn, NY |
Yea! You guys forgot Tom's Farm in Anaheim & Corona Ca.
Theresa, Anaheim, CA |
The Farmer's Market in Grand Haven is excellent!
JJ, Grand Haven, MI |
Can someone tell me where the Guadalupe Too Farmers Market in Mesa is located?
H. May Roberts, Mesa, AZ |
The Farmer's Market in Saratoga Springs, NY is THE social gathering place on Saturdays. They have the best salad greens, veggies, eggs, fresh flowers and other plants, baked goods, and berries around.
Kristi, Queensbury, NY |
The Glenside Farmers Market in Glenside, PA is open Saturdays May - Novemember. It is held at the Glenside Train Station.
Glenside Farmers Market, Glenside, PA |
Urbana, IL, has a great small farmers market selling many organic vegetables and fruits, locally crafted goat cheese, organic meats and poultry and non-food vendors and fun.
E. Jones, Champaign, IL |
