Farmers Market

I had high hopes for this farmers market. Was disappointed. I decided to attend on Aug 22nd. Farmer's market is from 5pm - 8pm on a weekday. I arrived there 30 min before 5pm. There was plenty of parking but after an hour it was all full. I wasn't too impressed with this farmers market. I expected there to be more vendors for vegetables. I think I only saw about two. They didn't have what we were looking for. The group of people we were with were in the hunt for veggies too but didn't find what they were looking for too. Each of them only bought kale. They were not impressed too. Most of the vendors we saw were selling baked good, sauces, shave ice and others. The only thing I ended up buying was a burrito from the food truck.

We went there on Sept 14th and it was in the parking lot across from the Oxford. Pretty small on this night. The people were really friendly. A few food vendors and they had tables set out for you to eat. They were all full so a nice crowd. Music to. Vendors were offering us samples to , but we just ate. I assume that the other days are bigger.

Produce and fruits are expensive and not necessarily local. They always have a beer garden so you can grab a $7 brew. Good place to catch up with people you haven't seen I. A while. Worth the walk down School Street.

Just went here for the first time yesterday and it was awesome! We arrived at about 6:50pm and there was a lot of parking for us (we might have gotten lucky). A lot of vendors selling fruits, vegetables, nuts, pastries, clothes, etc. Tried the food stands and glad I did! Me and my friend had the strawberry lemonade at Blue Kettle, garlic fries (forgot where),Lockeford Sausage, tri tip sandwich at Legend's bbq and had a hot link corn dog at the Kettle corn truck. The food was all so good!! Advice: The kettle corn and lemonade at the truck wasn't that great.... Blue Kettle lemonade was way better! Also, try coming with a few friends so you all can have room in your stomachs to try the different variety of food :)

Stumbled across this on a Thursday evening (around 4p). Decent sized market. Very select few of the vendors take credit card/debit payments. So bring CASH. The market itself is pretty big. There is a street within the market that only has food vendors (BBQ, Tacos, Lockford sausage, Lumpia, burgers, fries, lobster rolls, Greek). Wear comfy shoes and heat friendly clothing as the market is a decent walk and there is little to no shade/seats.

Stumbled upon this farmer's market after having dinner on a Thursday early evening at the Dancing Fox Winery up the street with my husband. We just walked down School St liking at all of the vendor booths and enjoying the smells and sounds (there's a band right outside one of the brewry restaurants) of the farmer's market. There were quite a few vendors selling fresh produce so we ended up picking up a few apples for the week. The pricing for corn and other vegetables seemed pretty reasonable, especially since you know these produce items are probably much more fresher than what you would get at the local Safeway or Riley's. We saw two vendors that had fresh flowers, both of which had such beautiful and very reasonably priced bouquets. The pricing for these bouquets would have easily been at least 3 times the amount in a florist shop. We ended up buying a bouquet of flowers for my grandma (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/farmers-market-lodi?select=kxxENt5EM__Q4y4OisQWag#SBnKkh9aCU-_ErlWaDaMPQ). The girl who helped me placed the bottom of the bouquet stems in a plastic bag with a little bit of water to make sure the flowers last. She also told me that I could put in a small spoonful of sugar to help them last longer (since it feeds the flowers), which is like the same thing florists give you when you buy flowers (those little small packets that come with bouquets).The next day when I saw my grandma, the flowers were still just as beautiful and made her feel so special and really made her day. I think this is a wonderful farmer's market and will definitely make sure to come back the next time I'm in Lodi. Oh and by the way, there is plenty of parking you can easily find on School St and the streets near by. And of course just like any other farmer's market, we did see other vendors seeing baked items, clothing, toys, accessories, etc. So if you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

I got invited by my sister and Mother earlier this evening to come to Lodi's Thursday night farmers market. At first I was a bit skeptical, I never came here before. My mindset was it's probably like the one in Stockton. So I'm always down to try new things out and tagged along. When we arrived, I heard music playing in the background. I noticed a lot of people socializing. So I went off on my own to explore and check things out. There's food and items shops galore. Live bands playing different types of music. People loving life and having a blast. I spent most of my time window shopping and taking pictures and talking to people as they saw me snapping a lot of pictures. I only bought one Food item and it was the Lockeford Sausage for $6. I keep hearing about these Lockeford sausages and yes the rumors are very true, there hella good. Different stands has different prices for water. I found one stand that sells them for a $1. I bought a few, because the sun rays were shooting down from the sun. Getting me hella hot lol. I can't really speak on the prices of the fruits and vegetables, because I didn't go there for shopping. We went to have a great time and we did. There's so much to do and the two hours we were there wasn't enough to take it all in. So if you got nothing to do on a Thursday night. You want to listen to good music and enjoy the moment, come check this place out. You might like it, I did. Life is Beautiful. ..Vincent D ...*VD*

I've always enjoyed the Lodi Farmers Market. Its always been a fun place to get local produce, handmade gifts and libations. For me its always been more of a social event so when I moved back to the area I was excited that I was able to attend again. I really enjoyed the improvements they have made, its spread out a bit more, and there are a lot more vendors. They now have multiple bands as well as a larger beer garden at one end and a nice wine garden at the other end, both with their own bands. Its a great way to meander around Downtown Lodi getting some exercise on a nice night, get some fresh local produce and grab some local grub and adult beverages.

Super cute family friendly farmers market. Something for everyone. Good live entertainment, lots of produce and sweets. We had lumpia and chicken skewers with rice this week. Kids and grandparents enjoyed themselves.

What a great atmosphere. I was pleasantly shocked by the cute little town and the farmers market. So many local places to try when walking around. There was beer, food, sweets, jellies, honey, fruit and so much more. Everyone there was so welcoming and sweet! Lotsof cute little shops open and restaurants with local beer and wine.
