Richfield Farmers Markets

Plenty of parking, just OK prices, fresh veggies, $ 5 flowers but most vendors sell the same vegetables, no organics, and one stand is pretty much a discount grocery store (fruit and veggies prepackaged, from places like Washington, Florida and very near to expiration date.). but, worth a visit if you live close and don’t like the crowds at bigger markets.

The Richfield Farmers’ Market has been a family favorite for almost 8 years. I’ve always been pleased with what the Market has to offer, but in the last year they have added several new vendors. Early in the season they had a new asparagus vendor and they have added hummus and jam. The addition of music every week has also been fun. Thanks for improving an already great experience.

Being new to Richfield I was excited to find a local weekend market that is less than 2 miles from me with easy parking. My first Saturday experience brought unpleasant sticker shock. I expected farm fresh and inexpensive but I didn’t find that to be the case. Most preportioned veggies were $ 3 – 5 each, where as I was anticipating closer to $ 2 – 4.
I was pleased with the fresh flower bouquets that were large and just $ 5. That first bouquet lasted an entire week. I also got some hot sauce which stood up to its promise.
I did venture to the market a second time and felt that some prices were lower this time on the newest in season items such as sweet corn. And I was happy with the quality of the corn.
Overall it is pretty small, but offers a covered roof and a parking lot so for a few things it is easy in and easy out, but I will be seeking larger markets and looking for additional variety and lower overall prices.

This is a great little farmers market, when I lived in the area we went almost every Saturday. They have a great variety of fruit and veggie vendors, flowers, meats, bread, cheese, honey and a crêpe vendor so you can have breakfast, this is a great farmers market and you don’t have to go downtown!

A refreshing trip to the farmer’s market on an early Saturday morning? Yes, please!
Fresh, local ingredients always fill me with happiness. This particular farmers’ market is a reasonable size. There’s about 7 – 10 local growers of produce, 1 flower seller, 0 – 1 Breadsmith, occasionally a honey and jam stand, and maybe 1 – 2 produce resellers.
I’m a fan of this location because it’s very family oriented. Since it’s set up in a large park, families will head to this market early, maybe get some breakfast at the creep stand, listen to a musician or get the kid’s face painted (depending on if entertainment is hired by the city), and take a stroll on the path or sit in the grass. Even if it’s raining, the market area is under a roof, so you can shop and enjoy at ease. Good times.
