Bayview Farmer's Market

I do love farmers markets, its a great way to support local & Small businesses. Bayviews Farmer's Market is located in the grass area, lots of vegetables, pastries, seafood, meats, honey, spices, pottery, art, fresh foods and much more. Free WiFi throughout the area, laid back scene and smells of foods.

Fun island farmers market, although I do prefer the old location of it being in what is now the parking lot. The reason I give it 4 stars is because it didn't really have a wide variety of things, and nothing really stood out to me. It was in a unshaded, dry grass spot right next to a semi loud highway. But I do love local cute farmers markets like this so its hard to rate it less then 5. Definitely would come back.

Nice Farmer's market that offers a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables along with having food stalls. It's not huge and gets crowded but it's a fun little trip if you in the area. There is also bread and pastries/pies for sale.

A favorite of locals and island visitors who come to soak up the atmosphere, buy local produce, bread and flowers, have lunch, and peruse the arts and crafts. Open from late April thru the end of October.

While I wasn't particularly impressed with the ratio of produce to art and crafts over the past few years, 2009 has brought an explosion of local, organic (or close to organic) farmers to the market, which is a great improvement! The 2010 season is looking good too!

Small but lovely. We lucked out on coming on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon with a local. Maybe half of the vendors were fruit / veggies / plants, the other half were crafts (soaps, lotions, scarves, cards, pottery). A handful of food trucks and tables sold sandwiches and craft kombucha tea. I would have liked to try Julia's Lumpia Hut (I'm Filipina!) but I knew we'd be having lunch somewhere else, so I held off. The key to any successful food vendor is giving away samples, and plenty were to be had. Because of the samples, I bought some extravagantly priced local cheese. I also supported the local fundraiser for beach access by paying $20 for a beautiful handmade Japanese glass float ball.

The overall Bayview Farmer's Market is an enjoyable Saturday morning experience between May and October. The fresh pies (usually located in the corner of the Market) are tasty, homemade, and surely made with lots of care. However, they are small in size, half the size my Mother's homemade pies were, and dramatically overpriced at $22 each (last year they were $18). Obviously, these pies are sold as a business. The seller doesn't accept anything but cash and is a little too "proud" of her product. The product just doesn't warrant the price! We won't buy again.

First time visit to this market on Saturday. OH MY !! The very BEST farmers market I have been to in years. And, I love farmers markets, I haven't been going to them much in the past few years because we don't have a really good one close to home that I have found. This one had everything, from the live band as soon as you near the entrance, food booths, homemade goodies of all kinds. oh the BAKERY that was there, fantastic ! And the locally made cheese's were delicous. Lot's of fresh fruits & veggies, straight from the farm. homemade cranberry marmalade we bought to make turkey sandwich's. Most of the food vendors will give you a taste, to see if you want to buy there product. And it was not super crowded, and note a huge space. Just right, so I didn't get overwhelmed with all the choices. We will definitely go back first chance we get !

The market has moved indoors to the Bayview Nursery for November, then will relocate at the Bayview Hall, as it has done for years, during December.

This is a great place to spend an hour or so on a Saturday. Eat a little here, meet some nice people, and grab some ingredients for later.
