“As newbies to the Syracuse area, we were thrilled to find this farmers market! It's MASSIVE! And there is so much to see! Fresh produce, honey, dairy, fish, meat, flowers, mushrooms, dog treats, coffee, and TONS more local fare. It's also mixed with a flea market where you can find lots of interesting items, but we're there mostly for the food. :) All of the vendors we've spoken to, so far, have been super friendly and most are willing to give you a sample if you're unfamiliar with their product. One of our favorite vendors is Tug Hill Artisan Roasters coffee. Definitely try it! So good! — Nicola B.

“One of my absolute favorite places in Central New York! I go every Saturday I can make it. Great meeting place for friends on Saturday mornings. Great people, great products, great experience, every time! The staff do a wonderful job!” — Heidi Caltabiano


“One of the few places I've been that I'd actually give 6 stars if I could!  Farm goods/produce on Thursday and Saturday mornings.  Get there early to get a good parking spot so you don't have to haul all your "finds" too far.  Bring lots of cash.  I swear they seem to have at least a little of everything here. Unbelievable produce sold by soooo many local farmers. Talk about farm to table.  There's no way that the best chefs of Syracuse and beyond aren't shopping here for their restaurants, no way”. — James D.

“I love that there's a variety that switches up every week. It's also nice that there are some food vendors mixed in with antiques, new home wares, nursery, and farmers market stands. It's always a great place to support local businesses and get some exercise in on a weekend morning.” — Naomi S.


“They have everything! Meats, cheeses, pasta, produce, pumpkins, wine, honey, maple syrup. Everything is reasonably priced, they offer a lot of samples. Can't wait to go home and cook our mushroom pasta.” — Bee C.

“So we are visiting family and stopped by. Wow! We are used to farmer’s markets but this one was definitely THE best one we’ve been to! Plenty of selection; the quality is great; the prices are extremely reasonable (at many farmer’s markets you pay more than you would in a grocery store because it is fresh - here, the prices were LOWER than grocery stores prices!); and there are many items besides fruits and vegetables!” — Shawn Vandenberg

“I've been to a lot of Farmer's Markets but this one was by far the best!  Literally hundreds of vendors selling everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to baked goods, fresh eggs, honey products, etc.
Often the price of produce at Farmer's Markets is higher due the produce being 'fresh'.  Not only were the prices lower than what one would pay in a grocery store, but the produce was both fresh and frankly, very large and of top quality. If we lived here we would be frequenting this place on a weekly basis!!
— Shawn V.


“Plethora. This market has a plethora of items to buy such as handmade soaps, veggies, bread, cookies, flowers, honey, wine, jerky, fish, maple syrup, milk, cheeses, herbs, breads, etc.” — Amy D.

“This is probably one of the best Saturday morning activities that you can do here at Syracuse. This market has so many different vendors selling different products. You can get anything from clothes, to honey, to woodwork, to oils, to plants, etc. There's so many different vendors to choose from that you're bound to find your groceries for the price that you want. I've gotten a bunch of bananas for $1 and bell peppers for 50 cents each and even a head of cauliflower for $1!” — Alice H.

“Love coming here year round.  I have been coming here for a long time, but usually randomly here and there.  This is definitely the best farmers market in the entire region.  You will find tons of fresh produce, meats, and baked goods.  I love going to the station where the Amish bring in their home baked goods.  While they have a very small shelf life, they taste amazing.  I don't mind the shelf life either, it pretty much confirms they don't have any additives and are home made.” — Joshua D.


“This place is super fun to peruse. I've been to other similar markets in different cities but this one was ginormous. There is plenty of free parking.” — Brendan L.

“Wonderful!! Fresh local produce and products. Local artisans and farmers. A must visit place in Central New York!!” — Kelly Porter Panaro


“I enjoy going there. Farm fresh vegetables, fruits, plants. It's a place where you can be around people of every background, and they're friendly and it's nice fun place to be. It makes you forget about all the hatred in the world . Saturday morning tradition.” — Alicia Ali Murray

“We are fortunate to have a great regional market and it keeps getting better every year.

Enjoy the fresh air environment with anything from wine tasting to sampling honey and maple syrup. Seasonal fruits and veggies abound in several covered buildings with ample open space sellers between them. Plants and blooms burst out in spring and again in fall. If you are into food preserving, come for seasonal bounty, tomatoes and basil, dill and cucumbers, fruits, peppers this year were huge, and the eggplant was everywhere. You don't have to look very hard to find organic greens and veggies, artisan foods like kimchee, kraut, pierogi, breads and pasta.

It's fun to just get a fresh donut or spring roll from the Laotian stand, walk around and check out the offerings, people watch and have a stroll.” — Toni Gonnella

“ It's the best market. There isn't any comparison to this one. I always find something, even if I'm never looking for anything specific.” — Karen Cavanaugh Gross


“If you prefer to shop local farmer only, there were several Amish families and local farms represented. I was told you can distinguish local farmers by their vehicles and boxes. I also found vegetables I had never seen before. There were cabbage the circumference of my head. Crazy.  This market puts my puny local market to shame.” — Amy D.
