Local Farmer's Markets
 

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I did search...

I have a few local markets to pick from. This thread is being started to hopefully compile a nice "global" type list.

1. Central Market, York, PA

2. Lancaster Farmers Market, Lancaster, PA

Yes, I am in Amish territory as well. Hard to beat the fresh chickens, pork, baked goods and canned items. The Lancaster market has a funky mix of coffee shops, Middle East, Carribean and assorted other foodstuff vendors. Both are historic sites and truly reflect America before the McDisneyization of our great nation.


Other favorite markets include:

3. West Side Market, Cleveland, OH
4. The Strip District, Pittsburgh, PA

Dallas TX Farmers Market & Hilo Hawaii Farmers Market

Best Farmers Market in the USA?
 

Subject says it all.....Any Farmers Markets in the USA that you can highly recommend?

Union Square in NYC (14th street area). They have the market 3 or 4 days a week.

Santa Monica (LA) on Saturdays.

Santa Monica on Wednesdays

Not a farmers' market per se
 

but I always like the Italian market in Philly.

I'd have to second the Union Square market in New York. Just went there today for the last time in awhile since I'm moving to the burbs :( The best time to visit is in the fall when these amazing grapes are sold. Varieties I haven't seen anywhere else.

I went to a cool, small farmer's market in Healdsburg, California in Sonoma County once. Great looking summer fruits. Can you tell I like fruit? My wife has been trying to get me to eat less of it for our entire relationship since I eat fruit so often.

Another one I liked was in Quebec City. Was there in late summer one year when they had fabulous berries.

The best fruit I ever had came from a farmer's store between Yosemite and San Francisco...though it wasn't part of a whole farmer's market just a free-standing store. I can't remember the name of the small town.

Except when Mr. Weller is driving about.
:rolleyes:

Downtown Rutland, VT, every Saturday morning in the summer. Fabulous stuff AND people-watching.

Madison, WI is simply awesome.

I miss the potato donuts...

The Los Angeles & San Francisco Farmers Markets are my favorites.

No contest, winner by a mile, Pike Street Market in SEA.
