Best Farm South Bend Near Me

Anne Napoli: Freshest fruits & vegetables right from the farmers. Meat, bread, pastries - all local and homemade. One of the best area treasures!

True Blue: South Bend Farmers Market is such a treasure. All year long there are always new things to discover from local producers, bakers, butchers, artists, jewelers and growers. The restaurant is great. Can't reccomend it highly enough for fresh ingredients, retail therapy or just to browse and be inspired.

CD Rosa Crossdresser: Love their caramel popcorn

Elizabeth Gamez: Racist. Today was the first time I came here because I was told at my local WIC office that they had vouchers here. I went to the office and I was attended by an older white obese woman. She took one look at me and ignored me and when I tried to grab her attention once more she huffed and puffed. She then told me in such a harsh manner that the WIC vouchers are no more and she doesn’t think they will be coming back. I looked at her in disbelief and she then asked if I understood English. I simply said thank you for your time and she said your welcome in such a sarcastic way. First and last time I will be coming here. Although I’m a single mother in need, I will not allow myself to be bashed like that again.

Jan Jacob: Love this place!!

christopher: Lived this place as a kid and even more so as an adult

Jalynn Stewart: Delicious coffee and pretzels, the vendors were friendly and willing to answer questions about the produce

Mariana Schnell: One of the best Farmer's Market in the Midwest! Great produce, delicious food and unique gifts.

Phyllis Rasmussen: I absolutely LOVE the south bend farmers market. Visit almost every Saturday. Never left a review before because I just assumed everyone loves this south bend local favorite spot. HOWEVER the south bend farmers market CAFE has gone completely down hill. Cannot express how bad the service and wait has gotten over the last few years. The food has almost always been good in the past, the wait staff have always been pleasant, and the service was quick and efficient . Today I went in with my mom and we ordered 2 BLT’s, since the waitress let us know they weren’t doing breakfast due to the fact they were unstaffed—which we understood. We waited 30 minutes for our food, which never came. Our waitress didn’t seem interested in figuring out what the issue was. She just started yelling at the kitchen staff and marching around talking to other customers about the issues. Never once coming over to us expressing any of empathy to the wait. After the waitress and staff started yelling at each other we just got up and left. I leave honest reviews about my experiences. I do not leave them out of spite or anger. My family has had multiple wait issues and service issues with the south bend cafe in the last year or so. We have all decided we might be done with our previously favorite Saturday breakfast spot. Really too bad.

Chris: We visited the farmer's market several times while living in the area. We always frequented the farmer's market where we lived before in the South, but this place is the best, by far. In fact, this is the best farmer's market that we've ever visited. There is so much to buy, from fruits and veggies, to meats and teas. They even had a restaurant there, though it was always too busy for us to try it. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to kill a few hours on a Saturday morning.

Daniel Hall: Always find what I am looking for

Chaz Rich: Great variety and friendly vendors.

Robin Walters: Amazing Seafood! So fresh!!!

Dave Mnichowski: I Love this place ❤ Very "AWESOME" 😎 The Merchants and people are very friendly.

Skylar Jenkins: Great place to go to see what the community has to offer

Stephanie Rhoades: My kids had fun here, but I'm pretty disappointed I had to pay 15$ for an adult entry just to watch my kids run around and have fun at a glorify park. Like, why do places charge adults to come in when there isn't anything for adults to do, but it's not acceptable for me to drop my kid off and leave. Not that I ever would do that, just saying. 43$ for a family of four, it wasnt worth that, and to top it off my kids were dodging block Legos thrown at them, because people don't watch their kids. Should of just taken my kids to the playground. 🤷‍♀️

Eli Cantu: Awesome family time for a cheap price

Ann White: Loveeeeee this farm!!! My kids had so much fun here!!

Moshe Miller: So much fun for all the family! My kids who are 5 and 3 had a blast and we spent hours! Will definitely visit again next year!

mara baim: Had a good time with my 4yr old. I was upset that I bought a pony ride and she started crying and wouldn't go. They didn't offer me a refund!

Carrie Miller: Friendly, fun place for family activities.

Meg Kunz: Wanted to go to a pumpkin patch, paid $16 per person to walk through a corn maze and ride a crowded tractor. Kids will have fun, but there are better places to go where you don’t feel as ripped off. Read the small print.

Frank Finch: Absolutely awesome place to take the kids out for a day of fun

Cindi Laskowski: This place just makes ya feel festive! Helpful and friendly staff!

Tina Kaiser: We had5 different families with us ages 2 yrs old and up and had a great time. There is things to do for every age. It's a must on our list.

William Decoudres: Fun..but expensive be nice if the kids at least got a pumpkin with admission.

Ron Smith: Fun

Shannon Wise: Loved it. So much to do and the kids had a blast. Unfortunately it was raining so we didn't get to everything but still we were there for a couple hours I would recommend this place

Chris Ingle: Place was awesome for the while family. The kids loved it. There was a fun day's worth of things to see and do.

Zachary Lohrman: The food is amazing and it's kid friendly. My husband and I go every year. I highly recommend you go and bring your kids.

Deidre Holgate: My family LOVED this place! So excited to see our professional pictures that Katie Nixon-Images did! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Katie Meyer: Sunflower field and many other scenes to do for a photography

Deen Tuggle: Always a fun time to be had at Thistleberry Farm! As adults with no children, we always have a great time. The corn maze is big and offers a fun "scavenger hunt". You can get lost for hours. There are adorable farm animals around to see as well. The donuts and food are all great. Every staff member is very kind and polite. They have a great selection of pumpkins and other fall needs. They also have some of the best pumpkin butter!

Tonnya LaCava: We go every Autumn. The place is awesome and yet gets better every year!

Rachelle Tolbert: It was fun but my one bit of feedback is to streamline the donut shop experience. My group and I gave up because the line just wasn't moving. Too many people ordering whole boxes which holds up the line. There should be one line for bulk orders and one for people who only want one per person, and the single orders should be prioritized to keep things moving faster.Other than that it seems like a nice place to visit, especially for families.

Melissa Holderread: This is our second year getting a farmbox from Barn Swallow Farm, and we love it! Great produce at a reasonable cost. The owners are great, they are kind, responsive to feedback, and obviously care about what they do. We hope to be customers for many years to come!

Eric H: CSA oriented farm partnering with other local farmers and markets to provide fresh veggies at markets and for local CSA boxes

Consuela Holt: Fresh food and wonderful restaurant

Jeff Selby: I don't want to tell... because then it will get very busy!!!! No really it's an amazing farmers market!

Charlene Rountree: Great little spot for local small vendors. Glad to see a farmers market crop up here, too.

David Roth: Got to meet some nice people, and also got me these little fellas

Chuck Whetstone: Great price on farm fresh eggs and delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies plus baby 2 week old goats!

Marcie Smith: Very friendly

Bertrand Hochwald: A little bit sparse, but a few good things are available. Building under construction.

Angel Gomez: Nice place I just happened upon😁So nice in there and lots of fresh veggies and fruits. There is also some restaurants inside where this is located...I was so surprised! Needs to be advertised more, so that South Bend community can support the businesses located in the building 🙂

Julie Ormsby: Very convenient location, much more so than South Bend farmers market. Great selection of items but my favorites are salsa, maple syrup, honey, dinner rolls, cookies, potted flowers, sausage, bacon, goat soaps and lotions. I also get my weekly CSA basket here May-September (very generous selection, all organic). In the building are food stands like Mikarri's Bistro (delicious).

Keshava Mysore: A small farmers market that is going on from past year or so, not as much variety as in the SB farmers market. But nice people run it and are very helpful and keep lots of quality stuff.

Cheryl Pomeranz: What a great find! Lots of vendors, even in the winter. Good variety. A perfectly pleasant place to spend an hour or two!

David Matthews: This is a great little farmers market. It's a local / non profit / farmer focused market in the heart of downtown. It's located in the Commerce Center, which is a half block from South Bend's first market that started in 1911. Open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7am ~ 2pm.

shwetha lv: Very few stalls.. perhaps because we went midweek

Joey Hiben: A pleasant farmer's market that is constantly growing and adding new vendors. Run by friendly, hard-working, and honest folks. Location is prime for a walk along the East race and a dip into the farmers market. Looking forward to exciting things this spring.

Rebecca Miller: Everything you need is here, bread, meat, vegetables, fruit, pickles, salsas, honey, raw milk, sweets, and more! The products are all grown or baked by the person selling it!

Scott Nielsen: These wonderful, literally down to earth, and honest folks are genuinely doing it right!They sell what they produce...a truly pure and authentic Farmer's Market. They are extremely friendly and eager to answer your questions including tips on using and storing their goods.

Laura Haigwood: Susan provides a wonderful selection of freshly picked, ripe, delicious vegetables! We have loved discovering new varieties along with our favorite "classics"--tomatoes, lettuce, eggplant, sweet peppers and the best broccoli we've ever had! Her mushrooms and herbs are a delight!

Becky Torstrick: This was our second year with Sunchoke and we took out spring, summer and fall memberships. What a bounty of food we've had! We've had fabulous choices each week and have explored a number of new foods. I love supporting this urban farm. We paid in advance last fall so I've also not seen my food costs going up this summer while still enjoying great produce. Susan is a fount of information about growing things and always offers tips or recipes for new items. Highly, highly recommend going the CSA route for your food!

Matthew McGuire: Absolutely wonderful family farm!
