What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the Mansfield Farmers Market for its selection of farm-fresh produce and unique homemade goods, with many enjoying the opportunity to support local growers. However, concerns have been raised regarding accessibility for those with mobility issues and confusion surrounding new vendor coupon systems, which have impacted some shoppers' experiences.
"Avoid this place, if you are in a wheelchair, use a cane or have mobility issues. The site is NOT handicapped accessible, there is little to no handicapped parking. In short, it’s not worth it!"

"In the past yrs. there was more to pick from. The new system using NECIC own coupons needs to be explained. I like going to other FM that would accept coupons.
NOT real happy with the excuse that the Volunteers should have explained. 2nd trip stood back and watched and the Volunteers still weren't explaining about their very own coupons NECIC. They took my QR code and claimed $50. Which probably I won't be able to spend. 4 veg. Vendors. The Veg vendors all have the same things
There were other vendors but don't accept the coupons. 2 bread, soap lady, plants
etc.
I hope this gets fixed it's or it was a great program. This is probably why so many farmers have dropped out."

"I really liked visiting. There were quite a few vendors. My mom and I went and my favorite find was Dave Duncan's bee hive honey. Been wanting to get my hands on some for about 12 years! It would've been nice to be able to buy plants to take home, but all in all, I'll more than likely visit again."
