The Farmers Market is the BEST!!!!!! I've been going since it first opened in 1989 and I was a child. I am now an adult
and LOVE taking my daughter to the market. It has organic fruits and veggies, yummy food to eat, and great local artists and
crafts. It is the best in ALL!!!!

best place to get teh freshest fruits and veggies... man and its cost effective... the stores have less quality and more
$$$... the market... less $$$ and better quality Thank you so much!
Brittany Linder

It has a little bit of everything, everyone is friendly & helpful. I can usually find what I'm looking for. And I
like to buy locally, support small local businesses & buy fresh produce, flowers & crafted items. We have been trying
to grow a few things in our own garden, and they are a great place to get the plant starts & helpful tips to grow our
own veggies.

so convenient and filled with wonderful, fresh and unique offerings....why go anywhere else?

I attend the Vancouver Farmers Market on almost a weekly basis. There are always so many different people, vendors, and entertainment
down there. I always have such a fun time looking at all of the things people bring down every weekend. There's always
beautiful fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables. And a really awesome vendor that my boyfriend and I buy our dog "pupcakes"
from every weekend.

It's fabulous. Lot's of variety & I usually see someone I know. Plus there is always a fun event going on in
the park next to the market.

The Farmers Market offers a variety of fresh veggies and fruits plus incredible handcrafted art. And the food vendors offer
foods you normally don't have access to everyday. It's a wonderful community event.

There is a wide variety of products available at the Vancouver Farmers Market, as well as a wide variety of vendors. The
vendors are super friendly, and provide quality produce and products. In the seven years we've been patrons, we've
had only one unacceptable product, and the vendor gladly refunded our money. Best of all, it's a 'small-town'
atmosphere. It genuinely deserves to be Farmers Market of the Year!

This is a delightful market ... just big enough to be interesting and diverse, yet small enough to navigate and easily enjoy.
Our local folks and the visitors they bring are friendly, polite and fun to share the venue with. And to top it all off, we
have good parking facilities as well as loads of on-street parking ... AND, TaDa ... Ester Short Park on the boundary for
beauty and a lovely playground!

It is fresh, wonderful and an adventure to create recipes from what you find. If that recipe does not work next time buy

I love to go to the market as it is an activity that has no entrance fee, leaving more money in the pocket to spend on the

area and have found that the Vancouver market has the freshest produce and most beautiful floral bouquets anyone could ask
for. The fact that it's pet friendly just adds to the flavor.

We can't let individual farms and the families who work and own them die. They need our support because the large agro-business
interest is trying very hard to take their share of the market too. It is a pleasure to eat fruit and vegetables that have
taste. It is wonderful to observe the "American salad bowl" working at the market; the Hmong families with
the flowers, the Mexican farmers with their fruit and vegetables, the food vendors from Russia, Croatia, Eastern Europe, etc.
also the local artists coming from varied backgrounds. It is all so colorful and refreshing and deserves our whole hearted
support.

there is an abundance of fresh produce. Right now the cherries are coming in. There also the occasional meat vendors. I bought
some lamb and talked with the farmer. The sheep are raised on pasture. There are aslo some baked goods and lots of flowers.
In the spring, there are lots of nursery plants available. Theare are also craft products. And, of course, food booths, including
one offering New Orleans food, such as gumbo and catfish. Local bands also play, and it is located next to a park downtown
Vancouver.

For many years now the Vancouver ,Washington farmers market has been a wonderful weekend event that has become a tradition
for many families in our local area. With vivacious people , smiling faces , fresh ripe produce and fragrant flowers. That's
not all our market has to offer not only is Vancouver market set on a historical landmark that introduces a vast variety of
educational opportunity's. it's a place we learn about our selves and discover a new sense of being. It's our
home. Much Love , Elizabeth Brassell

Clean, welcoming and convenient with plenty parking. The wide variety of produce and plants is much appreciated. Located
next to our downtown Ester Short park makes for extra-special weekends when the City has organized other events – taking
on an almost fair-like energy; other times, a great place to relax on a blanket under one of the massive shade trees. Limiting
participation to NW area producers and restricting reseller-vendors maintains that local ambiance and quality on offer. My
favorite entertainment, though, is observing the diversity and interaction of dogs with masters in tow. Always an enjoyable
visit.

Great place to get really fresh produce, like English peas. Only one vendor had them and I was so happy to be able to get
some. Also, some of the most talented merchants can be found there from the musicians to the "butterfly wings" folk
to natural cosmetic makers from up the Columbia River. All local producers which I am happy to support.

They have wonderful produce. My two year old loves to play on the playground with his Daddy, while I get the chance to shop
the local produce. The prduce is at a great price often better prices then we can get in the big chain stores. By buying from
the local grower everyone wins. We cut down on the emission gases by no shipping. The Farmes get the revenue which keeps the
money local. And I can get a product that I know is good for my family.

I have cleared calendars to put this market at the top of the list every Sat or Sun. when I visit my parents. The fact it
is dog friendly is a great treat for dog owners. Great Latte's at the red coffee wagon. The variety of produce is delicious,
local and fresh. The vendors of handmade goods are excellent - friendly and present a product worth the price.The vendors
who sell artisan bread and other food goods are definately worth visiting. The food vendors are fantastic - mini donuts, funnelcakes,
strawberry shortcake, pia, fish&chips, teriyaki, mexican food,fresh lemonade, gumbo and more. The aroma floats through
the air and since the market sits next to the park it gives families time at the playground and rose garden. Lastly the area
has good bathrooms

My family and I took our first trip to the farmers market last weekend and it was amazing. The food was so good you could
eat it straight from your basket and they had a wonderful recycled art fair going on. Seeing all the wonderful things people

I introduced the beautiful,lively Vanc Farmers Market to my very special friend (& now my husband),who is from Richmond,Va
two yrs ago (I even introduced him to our mayor for the Couve's 150th Bday celebration at the town square park where the
market is located.We enjoy trying the various foods,purchasing garden-plant starts as well as fresh harvests and just hanging
out with the locals and visitors alike in a relaxing but clean,friendly environment.I have lived on the east coast for 2 yrs
now,but each time we come back home to visit family & friends we plan a stop at the farmers market,where anyone can
come & enjoy a day of food,music and fun.We are fortunate in our work to be free to live anywhere in the United States
and plan to relocate to the area as soon as our Richmond,Va condo sells ~i'd trade it for a town-square condo and farmers
market livelihood right outside my door any day!Looking forward to many enjoyable years to come at Vancouver Farmers Market.Attached

There are several reasons. 1. The location makes it easily accessible, attractive, and it's easy to navigate among the
vendors because of the intelligent layout. 2. The selection offered by the vendors is broad, and 3. The quality of goods and
services provided high. 4. It's not easy to become a vendor; the stardards are rigorous. 5. The local produce and flowers,
in particular, are a major draw. There's more, but I think these are the high points. Thanks, Julia

The greatest place to be on a Saturday and Sunday. The Market is the heart of this historic city in downtown Vancouver. The
vendors are great, the food delicious, the nursery items perfect to take home and plant and the produce beyond comparison.
The art and crafts vendors keep you coming back for more even as the produce dwindles at the end of the season...The Market
is the first place our out of town visitors want to head when they come to enjoy Vancouver, and with the festivities at Esther
