Love Your Farmer's Market Contest

I visited the market and really liked the home made items and fresh food and produce. The people were so friendly and helpful.

It's the best place to get fresh fruits and vegetables, and support our local community.

I like to walk around and see the produce in season.

I love supporting local farmers. The fresh produce is great and lasts much longer than store bought. I also love the cookies. Breadman rocks!

All of the farmers that come here have delioues fruits & vegetables & they are fresh all the time.People come here alot to get fresh produce.

There is always a variety of produce and the people are so kind. I go to the Indiana farmer's market as often as I can!

Outstanding produce, friendly vendors, and a relaxed atmosphere with music and cooking demos. Special treats include homemade soap and homemade bread!

I love our farmer's market--fresh, local produce and goodies from local vendors and farmers. Just can't beat that!!

I want to purchase locally grown produce to support local non-corporate producers and to limit the transport of produce from distant growers. I prefer to purchase organically grown items and support sustainable agriculture.

I love the fresh, local food, the wonderful vendors and customers! Every market day is like a party!

Great veggies, music, and BREAD!!!

I absolutely love my farmer's market where I can get fresh local produce and fresh French-made bread!

Fresh, Fresh, Fresh!!! I love that I can get fruits and veggies (and great bread) that was picked or made that same day!

Cause it's fresh!

there are delicious foods sold here, rain or shine, such as bread, cheese and eggs as well as beautiful fresh vegetables and fruit. Also fragrant chemical-free soaps are sold. this is also a good gathering place for community members.

I shop at the Blairsville Farmers Market. It's convenient and it's the closest we get to fresh produce.

Our farmers market has the freshest produce and the best tasting corn!

Blairsville location: excellent local, truly fresh produce at reasonable prices. It enables support of local growers.

It is awesome and I love the fresh produce!

I feel more comfortable knowing where my fresh produce is coming from. The quality is much better and lasts longer. I can speak directly to the grower about their methods.

I love having access to fresh vegetables, fruit and "Pretty Soaps by Phyllis" in my neighborhood!

It brings fresh local produce and products to convenient locations. You can't beat it.

Great people and great food!!!! I go every chance I get.

Jean Eve's Bread and the Cheese Lady's Cheve!

Fresh produce, friendly vendors, festival atmosphere, delicious coffee, friends -- it's a great way to make an "errand" fun and enjoyable. AND -- I'm supporting the local economy and eating delicious veggies and cheese. A total win-win situation

I take my 4 year old to the farmer's market every week. He helps me pick out which veggies he wants for dinner. I'm teaching my son about healthy eating and supporting local farmers. He's excited every time to buy fresh bread from the bread man! It's also a wonderful place to catch up with friends and neighbors, since many of my friends are shopping the market too! Our family loves the farmer's market!

I like to eat fresh produce. I believe in supporting local businesses.

Local produce and great bread. They set up Blairsville one day a week and that's close. Everything is fresh and nicely displayed. It's a very convenient program and draw a good crowd.

offer a wide variety of great foods for the family!

during our visits back home to PA we shop the farmers market and my children and grandchildren participate in selling at the Indiana county market so that is two reasons to vote for them. another good reason is the fresh produce and the nice people who supply it

They have the freshest fruits and vegetables. I also LOVE their fresh breads, they are AWESOME!

local and quality food

Promotes our local farmers

The best produce is fresh grown, and beter taken care of. The assortment is better than one would belive.

These farmers care about what they are selling you and the care about you. Local is the best way to go. Also, they make it fun to go to market with the entertainment, and local chef's to show you how to use your fresh produce. Awesome!!!!

They supply the freshest, locally grown fruits and vegtables around. I like to know who handles my produce. Eat your Backyard!!!

Exceelent fresh produce. New variety every week. Knowledable farmers who know their products

Local is best. I know many of the folks who sell there and they work hard to provide quality produce.

We enjoy helping our nieghbors , an we enjoy the hard working people that are there , sharing there hard work with everyone. They are very helpful when you do not know much about there product they take the time to help with receipe ideas an other helpful advice. It is a plesent place to be an the food is great . My daughter is happy to be going there , she likes to look around an see what new veggie or fruit that she can try. She has found out that veggies taste good. thanks to the Farmers market .

It's like buying off your neighbors-everyone is friendly and helpful. The produce is wonderful and the little extras available like bread and rolls allow me to have a complete farm market meal when I get home. I like the choice of two locations and several days and times too.

fresh produce

There is nothing like fresh seasonal foods that are able to be picked at full ripeness since they do not have to be shipped to far away places. No matter how good a strawberry from South America or elsewhere might taste in January in the dead of winter, nothing can compare to a fresh ripe strawberry picked in Indiana County in June! The same goes for all produce. The only way that can continue is if we support our local producers. It's a win-win situation. The best tasting produce with the maximum nutrition and we are supporting our friends and neighbors. When you go to the farmers market you always see many friends and often make new ones, find interesting produce and recipes, get a chance to try new tastes and sometimes hear some good music at the same time. What could be better?!? See you there!

I prefer to buy fresh, local produce from farmers I know and trust. The market also has a chef at the market program and hosts live musicians on select days -offering a social atmoshphere in two downtown locations.

They have the freshest herbs and vegetables in town. Everyone is friendly and always willing to share gardening tips and educate you on growing your own flowers, plants and vegetables. The desserts are wonderful and sometimes they even have entertainment. Supporting the local farmers is a healthy and worthwhile mission. Helping keep our community and the surrounding communties alive makes me feel good.

It is very accessible and is open three times a week in the county. We have a large variety of products, including goat's milk products. Fresh eggs are sold in addition to seasonal veggies. There is a weekly cooking demo and fresh roasted and ground coffee beans. Plenty of parking and sometimes entertainment. Its a growing market as new sellers are added each week.
