This place is certainly not for the squeamish. That being said, if you can reconcile with the fact…read morethat you will likely see your chicken live before it's nicely chopped up and sent home in the bag, this is a good place to go. I came here because I was looking for a place that would provide fresh chicken like I had when I visited Costa Rica last year and I must say I was not disappointed. This chicken is FRESH and it tastes so much better than any of the stuff that you find in the grocery stores. I also found the staff to be very nice and helpful. Like the other reviews say, be aware that you're basically going into a small indoor farm and live chickens are not the most pleasant smelling animals. All that aside, it is worth is for the best and freshest chicken around. I will be back again.

Not the kind of Farmers Market you would walk away from not needing to go to the Supermarket and get the rest of the things you need. I supported the market this year, as I will again if they set up this year. However, there was not much to choose from and it was frustrating. Its nice that Bridgeport is starting to move forward and work towards having a functioning Farmers Market. I hope as the Market grows, I can come and edit this review in the future.

I was excited to read about this in the Bridgeport newspaper. So I came here on Sunday. I woke up…read morekinda late, so I got here at like 12ish, and they close around 1pm. I didnt see many vendors there, but that could've been cuz I went so late. I did see plenty of fresh fruits, veggies, salsa, tomato sauce, honey, pastries and cheese for sale. I bought some cheese from Brunkow Cheese out of Wisconsin. It was the best cheese ever. I got a bag of cheese curds, oven baked cheese, horseradish chedder cheese spread, and Morel Mushroom cheese all for about 20 bucks. They will be back again the last Sunday of September and October. So I will definitely go again, but earlier this time.

LOVE me a Farmer's Market. I have a bulls eye on my back that says SUCKER FOR FARMER'S MARKETS!! I…read moream quite the sucker for fresh produce from a Farmer's Market even though prices can be more expensive than Whole Foods!! Just the idea of the array of fresh veggies and fruits makes me tingly and excited and my hairs stand up on my arms!! Anyway, this farmer's market is pretty small, but that had a fantastic variety of veggies. Everything was fresh and hard, not soft and ready to rot. They also have several vendors there, like a gourmet popcorn stand and a bakery. WAIT did I tell you that I also am a HUGE HUGE sucker for fresh baked bread!! HA, so I bought a loaf of freshly made bread which tasted fantastic for sandwiches. If they had more vendors this would degi They are open for business on Thursday afternoons and parking is easily accessible and close to the market just across from the train tracks. This double sucker for the word fresh will definitely be back!! :P

They have various items - cheese, veggies, scarves, jewelry, baked goods, blueberries, meats, etc, etc. I'm sure it varies. I was a little disappointed today that the tomato sauce lady wasn't there, but c'est la vie. Some of the green produce (lettuce, herbs) at at least one vendor was a bit wilted today, maybe it wasn't super fresh, or maybe it's because it's 96 degrees out. Anyway, it's worth checking out.

Plus the items from the third-party vendors they work with are truly top-notch. I will never be able to go back to the regular grocery store! If you're on the fence, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

I feared this was coming a couple of months ago when Tomato Mountain posted multiple…read moredesperate-sounding job ads for warehouse workers. Today, our delivery box arrived with $17 worth of items missing-- even though the items were checked off on the label stuck to the box, and that's a label that gets signed off on by two people. Which means, this isn't an instance of items simply going out of stock while the boxes were being filled. This is multiple staff not caring what was put in my family's delivery box, and then not caring to review to make sure that what was supposed to be there was there. My family really likes the Tomato Mountain experience, but it's absolutely unacceptable for food items to be left out of a delivery because staff are phoning it in and don't care about what they're doing. We've experienced this before with supermarket delivery, but we expected a lot more from Tomato Mountain. Especially since you select exactly the items to be delivered, this now screws up my family's meal plan for the next seven days, and we have to go scrambling to replace the items that are missing. More importantly, now we know we can't trust the service anymore. And if I can't trust my CSA, why continue? I take an extraordinarily dim view of grocery and food delivery services gratuitously screwing up delivery orders because of not paying attention. The entire reason my family orders from Tomato Mountain is to make the produce we consume better, our lives easier, and the local food system stronger. But making our lives more difficult because some staff don't care? My partner immediately suggested that we cancel our subscription. I agree. I just requested a refund on the missing items, and the cancellation of our subscription. We're shifting our produce purchases back to Whole Foods. Losing customer trust is the biggest deal there is as far as I'm concerned, and that's why this updated review is a single star.

Thank You Thursday Review…read more Evergreen Park Farmers Market is one of my favorite places.  Open Thursdays from 7 am to 1 pm -  May thru October, I sure miss them from November thru April! My favorite vendor is Dotson Farm, where I purchase herbs and flowers for my garden in May/June. A variety of vegetables are enjoyed throughout the season. The plants/veggies are healthy and the prices are reasonable.  Also,  among our favorite stops are the Amish vendor and the coffee vendor.  For more info on the farmers market,  please see my previous reviews.  Thank you,  Evergreen Park Farmers Market.   Looking for to visiting again next year!

I've been to a number of Farmers Markets throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. From the…read moremarket in Daley Center to markets on the near west side, Lombard, Brookfield, Skokie, and now Riverside. While parking can be questionable at some locations the regular and handicap parking here seems plentiful within the the square and the entire area has both a true small town feel and also a big local park feel with trees and flowers. For an afternoon Farmers Market there was a full supply of vendors during each of my visits. Many have mentioned the knife sharpening and after I had a pair of scissors sharpened I'm also a believer. With many vendors offering multiple types of veggies and plants there is a lot to look at. While I didn't buy raw honey (not super processed or pasteurized so most people say it has better health benefits and and fuller flavor) here at Riverside yet, I expect to need some at the start of the next season. There are multiple Amish vendors and I was lucky to spend a while talking to one of the Amish families about their farm and some of their core values. I've worked directly with a few different Amish families in Illinois and Indiana and have found each to be an unique experience. If you have time to talk to some of them or buy your veggies or baked goods from them you'll love the experience. Some people I've spoken to treat a Farmers Market like a bartering flea market but I find the quality to be high and prices reasonable and don't think that it's appropriate to ask a farmer or baker to lower their price when they have put some high labor in to their products. Hard work should be rewarded.

So it is not a huge Farmer's Market, but actually does have some Farmer's Market products. It seems that many "Farmer's Markets" sell soaps and bakery items and jewelry and other products which usually aren't thought of as farmers produce, but here they actually had some. We arrived just before closing so the selection had been pared down, but still managed to buy some plants - a new strawberry plant for the garden, some tomatoes and peppers, and a bunch of onions. While the variety is a bit on the small side - as the summer passes the produce will multiply. And besides that we love to support local businesses. This one is a nice stop on Harlem.
