Reviews of Moss Street Market (Fruit Store)

Sheena Wells

Wonderful all the time

Shannon Davis

Best produce.. great live music... atm on site as cash needed for some booths... people bring their dogs which is a treat :)... only issue might be accessibility -- on the main produce strip if anyone has a walker scooter wheelchair it's very narrow and people take a while to notice you if you're trying to get through... however the music...beverages..crafts..food section is music more open and on top of a solid square of concrete...

This is my favourite farmer's market in the region of Victoria. It is very well organized, and most of the farmers and vendors have been going to this market for years, and in some cases, decades. There is a great balance of vendors, from the farmers who bring their wonderful produce, to artisanal food products, to all kinds of handmade artisanal crafts, clothing, jewelry, etc. A different band plays every week. Every April, I am excited to know that the market will be starting to operate, and every October, I am sad to see it close. I highly recommend this market!

Tony Duke

Fabulous Farmers market. Great variety & produce

Peter Milne

A fantastic market that offers fresh produce, artsy items, clothing and preserved foods and sauses. And revolving line up live musicians as well. There are two play areas for the kids to have fun with.

Noel Crawford

Too expensive. I have travelled all over the world including South Africa, France, England, USA, Far East and everywhere markets are consistently lower in price than are the surrounding supermarkets and the produce is fresher that supermarkets. In Victoria the community markets are the opposite of what I have experienced elsewhere and are, therefore, not competitive. Yes, the products are all of high quality as they are in markets I have seen and shopped in around the world. Community markets would have much increased clientele numbers if the costs were at least competitive but preferably lower than supermarkets and mall vendors. When I travel I shop predominantly in community markets and have never been disappointed however in the markets in Victoria at least I have not had the same experiences.

Kathy McKay

A number of local products. I bought bread, eggs, cheese and cider.

brenda tansley

stephen kagan

An excellent community market Lots of local farmers and artisans.

Roland Elson

So nice to walk around on a Saturday and look at all the different items and art .

Giulio Mari

This market is a great place for finding organics of all types. It has a festive atmosphere and all the vendors are friendly. You can find great food for your on-site-outdoor lunch while listening to nice music from local talents. The variety of crafts being sold is amazing, even a Japanese couple is there selling hand-made kimonos and tasty home made Japanese delicacies. Local cheeses, vegetables of all kinds, plants, pottery, breads with other baked goods and so many other things can be found there. It is open every Saturday from 10am to 2:00 from May to October if I remember well. It is just a great place where to spend some of you weekend.

Marcus Bell (holysmokes99)

Daniel Andrews

Lots of produce vendors. Could use a few more food vendors. Definitely worth checking out.

Jill Moran

Great variety of local produce, baked goods, preserves, meat, prepared food and local spirits. Well organized. Indoors in cooler months. Outdoors in summer. One of the hest things about living in Victoria.

mostafa tabatabaei

Variety of local products, live music and ethintic foods.

Dawn Atargatis

I love this joyful Market! So many creative amazing people! So much yummie food!! Thank you for supporting my precious vegan lifestyle !

Julie Morissette

Thank you Moss street market for being the best gathering of people and nature in Victoria. Let's not forget that without farmers--no food. I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work--with so much love.

Brock Schuman

Lots of great produce and baked goods!

Anik Bay

If you are able to go to your local farmers' market,go! The best fresh produce for the best value, from people who take pride in their product.

Gillian Trotter

There's produce, kombucha, cider, baked goods, and more! The market is currently spread out over a couple of blocks, and is well set up for physical distancing.

Bernard von Schulmann

Not enough focus on affordable produce

Wallmapu BC Victoria, British Columbia

Most markets [..I’ve visited quite a few] around the world offer produce and ware cheaper than regular, established outlets due to the fact they don’t pay for expensive rental space, advertisement, extra labour cost, transportation...etc. The Moss St. Market is for the well-to-do that can afford to pay $4 or $5 for an organic lettuce that means the Fairfield and Oak Bay crowd. The vendors apparently want to pay their mortgages selling their produce at outrageous prices...and at this rate they probably will be mortgage-free very soon. Great place and fun, but absolutely unaffordable for a working family.

Lorraine Lewis

Lots of selection. Go early it closes at 2

Sue Mowbray

As a disabled person with an assistance dog which is tethered into the basket of my mobility scooter I was treated very rudely when I inquired if assistance dogs were allowed into the market. The person I asked got quite snippy and hostile with me and as a result I refuse to support this market. I will be going to the James Bay market in the future where dogs are not only allowed but encouraged. I would encourage all disabled persons to think twice about patronizing the Moss Street Market and Craft Fair.

Sheila Xie

Not a lot of veggie and fruit vendors as we had expected. A good place to get some local organic vegetables at 3 dollars or above. Good selection of lunch vendors.

Saad Gobbo

Good collection of goods.

Sophia Lynn

Great place to shop and support your local farmers and artisans. Good place to bring kids as there are playgrounds nearby. Only bring your dog if it's well trained though because it is often busy with lots of distractions.

Rowan Allen

Cool local artisan market.

Derek Perkins

Best Farmer's market on the island. It's been going strong for decades. Saturdays 10-2

Jade S-T

Had a lovely time at the Moss Street Market! Bought a ton of jams and preserves from Maison Preserves Co, and other produce and goodies. I love this handmade whale bowl from Eliska Liska in the “Crafter and Artisan Vendor”area. Everything was socially distanced and there were lots of COVID19 procedures to follow, but it was all simple and easy to follow. We found parking in the school parking lot, but there was also lots of street parking available. I would love to stop by again this summer! Would highly recommend for people who like outdoor markets, craft fairs, and shopping local!

B K

Really happy with the quality and selection.

Michael Crinnion (Crin)

A friendly market with high quality products but with a price to more than match. A nice hour to wander as a tourist but don't expect a huge variety, it's largely organic vegetables and hand made crafts

Cyler Parent

Great little market with lots of fresh veggie stands and some great West coast vendors.

Bruce Gillespie

As good as it gets in BC. Remarkable suppliers and ambiance.

Mandy Ng

Many stalls selling organic fruits and vegetables. Not very big market but still good to visit

Lex Nelson

so many lovely vendors! quiet a few vendors are now accepting debit/credit during the pandemic, which is lovely. the market is very spread out right now, which may be difficult for folx who have mobility issues, but it's also good that the market is spread out to limit COVID transmission. market closes at 2pm .

PureKnix (PureKnickers)

Great selection of produce, prepared foods and crafts. The food vendors are delicious and the atmosphere is welcome. The focus on local and quality provides for some great buys.

Christine Chan

Very good physical distancing, they spread their stalls into three different areas. People were lining up. Looked like many regular customers came back to buy their fresh produce.

Jason Wang

Best farmers market in Victoria, period

ryan arrowood

Great stop on the weekend

Carole Lizotte

Fresh stuff

Eric Verbeek

I love the food vendors, especially International Women's pakora and bourak. I miss Te To Te though. Great place to get fresh kale, tomato, melon, scapes, mushrooms. There are also meat vendors, craft vendors, and musical entertainment too.

B Wass

One of my favourite markets in Victoria. Locals foods, crafts, live music, coffee, even wine, beer and spirits to purchase! Busiest in the summer months. A nice vibe to hang out for a while.

Flo Schultz

Best farmers market in town. Great selection of food, Arts and crafts.

Rogério de Sousa

Great selection of local produce, eggs, meats. I love this market - I go there every Saturday morning.

BW Fritzler

Definitely one of the better markets around, but arrive early if want fresh produce or bread. The popular vendors sell out quickly. Don't be fooled by the long line ups to certain things like food. They are not necessarily better than any similar vendor. It would appear regulars patrons have their favorite sources and a short lineup turns long once the mob mentality kicks in. Good music, food and some interesting vendors. Well worth a couple hours of your Saturday.

Terry Simms

Beautiful market

David Mills

Always a pleasure to go. Great food, fresh vegies , good music and lively atmosphere. My local market, I go as often as possible .

Filipe Correia

Awesome place to go and buy local products.

Desmond Hedderson

Great market, lots of variety and great food, shame it's only 1 day a week.

TsimshianHoroscope

I met my Mom and sister at the Moss Street Market last Saturday. It was raining hard and people were still selling and buying local stuff, plus they have a music stage, with great local talent.

Jannette Lock

Great market, something for everyone!

Scott Colbourne

Best vegetables in Victoria

Greg Bird

A family tradition for many years. A great selection of food, drink, snacks, arts and crafts and now entertainment too. Worth the effort to go there.

kyle mitchell

They should add children's entertainment

Dave Neal

I go for a coffee and a tamale - good little market

Aggie Chan

This is the best markets in the region in my opinion! I have been to many other farmers market around Greater Victoria and in the Lower Mainland and a couple elsewhere in BC. Moss Street Market (spring/summer) has some of the best produces, handcrafted food and goods. There are two small playgrounds at the market/next to the market. The market also has a kids zone and live performances to keep everyone entertained.

Melanie Hibi

Great music, veggies, bread and kids activities!

Alexandra A

Not a whole lot to do. But great if you want local veggies and baked goods. Food carts are pretty good.

Angela Ung

Nice market to walk around and see the local crafts and produce. You would get one of a kind things in the craft area which is good.

Deanna Simms

Love love love this market!! Its perfectly warm and welcoming. Offer's so much fresh produce ! Our family new favorite

Andy Bernhart

Love this place, the best organic farmers market in Victoria. Great food trucks too. Line up early if you want the best from Umi Nami farm though.

Lynn Brumby

It's a great market. Worth s stroll through.

Debora Moura

(Translated) A great place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. For those who like craft beers have stalls from local producers. Many regional wines and delicious pies. (Original) Um excelente lugar para comprar frutas e verduras frescas. Para quem gosta de cervejas artesanais tem barracas de produtores locais. Muitos vinhos regionais e tortas deliciosas.

Andrew Sturrock

Fantastic summer market

Peter MacLeod

One of the better markets in the Victoria area. Busy and not inexpensive

Ian Fox

Love the local feel!

Jamie Cormier

I went to this market for my first time this past summer. I got some really nice fruit and a ring. I really enjoyed the various little shops they have and getting to sample a few things was really great too. I don't have any kids but I really enjoyed seeing families really have a great time even while shopping. There was a nice area for some kids to play with each other in the center of all the shopping. My friend I went with has a kid so he got to have some fun while one of us went and did some shopping while the other watched him. I look forward to possibly visiting again this coming summer!

Caitlin Pierce

So much talent makes me resent my stick figure drawings

Sung Lee

John Greaves

Lots of fresh local produce. More than most of the other markets close by. Entertainment AND wine and beer tastings. ????

Thomas Guerrero

Always a great place on a Saturday.

Allon Beck

Great market. Expensive, but wonderful stuff. Fresh organic produce, Fry's bread and pastries, prepared food, children's games... Etc etc

Lincoln Z. Shlensky

One of our favourite things to do on a Saturday! This market is a local gem, especially in the summer when there are musical acts on stage, incredible organic produce, awesome lunch food — salmon burgers, local sausages, Persian kabobs, Middle Eastern dishes made by a women’s collective, and more. Fry’s Bakery is highlight, and also gluten-free alternatives if that’s your thing. Chai, coffee, and kambucha are on offer. As of 2017, local distilleries and brewers tout craft liquor, wine and beer. The many craft sellers offer locally made ceramics, jewelry, clothing, toys and much more. A kids art tent is also a highlight. All of this in a very pleasant setting on the grounds of SJD elementary school, with playground equipment both in the market itself and on the other side of the school.

Aaron Miles

Nice earrings

What would I do without the Moss Street Market I visit it 52 weeks of the year and keep myself in veggies fresh from local farms year round

Morgana

Another awesome local market.

Kevin Kuo

Lot's of variety here. There's stands for produce, plants, honey, cheese, bread, alcohol, snacks, crafts, clothes, gemstones, pottery, massages....etc. There's more, but that's all I could think of. There's also a good variety of food stalls: The usual hot dog, middle Eastern, and more that I can't categorize. The live music preformances are quite nice. Overall, great place to spend the day, walking around and checking things out. My favourite place to spend my Saturday mornings, especially if it's sunny.

Great event for marketers so many vendors WORTH A SEE

Great place to pickup fresh produce and crafts. Limited on lunch options that are expensive and not satisfying.

Carlos Luis Bermúdez Sevilla

Very cute market. Lovely drink tastings - great way to sample a wide variety of locally produced alcohol, including rare/seasonal items like pumpkin wine. Great gift options ????!Good quality produce that is reasonably priced. Best pastries I’ve ever had in Victoria were found at this market. Salmon burgers are a must. Wonderful place to try new products and to support local vendors and producers.

Troy Pennock

Who knew you could get a shot of vodka?

James La Plante

My favourite weekly market.

Michael Case

Where a great deal of art lovers, organic gardner's and come to put a smile on your face, step on your foot or promise to see you next year. The displays of many humans appealing to the souls of the birthing should make you want to come back. Why don't we do this for a week

paras rajgor

It's a good place if you wish to buy locally produced veggies.

emily rogers

My favorite place I buy almost all of my grocery there

Erich Schultz

Great fun

Don Smith

interesting place for the wares of local bakeries, farms and artisans.

Elizabeth Marsh

So glad to be back.

steven bac

The over priced market is a shade of what it use to be. Sadly the prices at the market are getting to be outrageous, especially when I can purchase the same items near by for 10 - 30% less in a lot of cases. There also needs to be a certification system on produce to prove it is grown locally instead of purchase in bulk dressed up and sold as a locally produced organic produce.

K Stephens

Lots of fresh produce and food. Great local vendors

Elaine

Shop local.

She kay Hazel

Nice Sunday market with many interesting vendors!

coldlumine scence

Wonderful market. I got it on the last day they had it outside for the season. Lots of really interesting vendors and some delicious food

John P

Best market in Greater Victoria! Fresh organic veggies every single week! Hard working local farmers, always fresh 24hrs. Amazing consistency, i wake up early to be there at 10am, nothing else would get me up that early on a Saturday! Good work everyone, so appreciated over the years!

Christina Kempenaar

The preserves lady makes the best preserves and there is amazing coffee and fresh baked bread

Smokus Cat
