New Castle Farmers Market — Attraction in New Castle

When I was moving out to the First State, I happened to find this Farmer's Market among points of interest would visit and maybe frequent. As a quick note, my review will be more on the farmer's market in general as opposed to specific vendors such as Stolzfus' stalls but based on my rating doesn't seem to affect that too much. One important thing to note here is that the New Castle Farmer's Market is part farmer's market with various food stalls and part flea market. That is reflected in some of the permanent vendors inside the market itself as well as various vendors/folk who set up their stalls outside in the parking lot. As the outdoor vendors rotate, you might never know what you'll find. There are also several restaurants inside the farmer's market as well with a wide variety of foods available; sushi, tacos, seafood, a diner and even pizza. If you get hungry, you don't have to leave the farmer's market to find some good food. The farmer's market aspect is covered by two produce stands as well as a seafood counter and meat counter. The seafood prices are very good and they have a nice variety available. They can also prepare your fish as you'd like as well. The two produce stands have very fresh fruits and vegetables though to be honest, I usually prefer going to Lee's over the other as they seem to have better prices though both have great quality. Then there's an entire section of the market devoted to Stolzfus' Amish market including two meat counters (one specifically for poultry and one for lunch meats and everything else). One thing to note though is that this place is HUGE. It's like a small mall and you can get turned around easily. One of the photos I attached is of the layout to hopefully help out. While there is an international food stall inside the market, it mostly focuses on Latino/Caribbean fare. If foreign foods are your thing, the Newark Farmer's Market might be your go-to. If you're looking for Amish fare or eclectic finds, I definitely recommend coming here. The one downside is that they are only open Thursday through Sunday (with the Stolzfus stands closed on Sunday) and that some of the stalls are cash-only. I recommend having some cash on hand, especially if you're wanting pizza (as the pizzeria is cash-only). If you're looking for a farmer's market that's an experience, definitely come to the New Castle Farmer's Market. Even if you don't pick up anything, you will certainly enjoy getting yourself lost inside and finding very...

Was recommended by a neighbor to visit this farmers market and I’m glad I did! Came here on Friday 9/7/18 in the evening. This place has an AMAZING selection of produce, hot food, and stores.

My partner had the mini donuts and said they were the best donuts he’s ever eaten! They make them right in front of you on the cutest little fryer conveyor belt! It’s mesmerizing to watch. :) I love that as a vegan they have the Indian “Masala Kitchen” chain inside here. I have been to the one in Wilmington and the food there was delicious. There is also a juice bar and they offered salads and fruit as well if you’re looking for something healthier. There was a place called “Mama Gina’s” with lots of selections of pizza slices and they looked really good. There is Mexican food, a soul food hot bar, a clam bar, fresh seafood for sale, noodles, and a cheesesteak and sausage dog eatery. There were so many hot food options that I can not fit it all in this review but did include many attached photos. I loved the prices as well. The prices seemed reasonable for the quality and that it’s a farmers market.

As far as other items sold here, to name just a few: books store with used books (it seemed to have a large selection of books with series or magazines, I was missing the psychology and self help books), kimonos and Asian clothing, pet store (they sold dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) but I do wish they’d put those poor animals in a large pen area instead of small cages, a tailor shop, a video game store that sold controllers, older game systems, and used games, and store that sold household items, office supplies, deodorant, etc. (like a knockoff more affordable version of Walgreens. There were many more stores here.

I give this place a 5/5. I was impressed and it took at least good hour to get around to every place. We plan on returning soon and during the DAYTIME this time so that we can see all the outside vendors we missed. Totally recommend for all ages.

Sold things there People are nice We had one issue with a man that we bought something off of and he said he would hold it till we went inside and shopped. But when we came out they guy was long gone.( its common for people to ask ,can you hold it till we comeback from inside ?) We told the manager ,but he really couldn't help .it was dumb for us to ask the man to hold the dresser till we got done shopping ,inside the farmers market. Lesson learned. There's a fruit stand we love. We get smoothies from there every weekend. Next to them is a store that has everything,we buy sun glasses that last. Ive bought a expensive purse,countless sun glasses,,sexy outfits for the bedroom. Wallets .....etc The sock store is great. We always talk to the owners about our children and grandchildren The Amish area is nice,neat& clean. The bathrooms are so nasty!!!! It seems like no matter when you use the bathroom,,,someone is Always pooping!!!!! The bathrooms always stink to high heaven . The pizza place is OK. The pet store is clean.the employees are nice.they always let you hold the puppies. Everything in the pet store seems to be very expensive. Animals are surely OVER PRICED! They do take care of the animals. The puppies always have food & water. Cages are always clean They also groom your pets. The barber shop is always busy The produce is good. They have 2.00 baskets....but there's Never Ever have ENOUGH SPACE TO WALK OR TURN AROUND.If you drop something it will be trampled on and or Lost. Way to crowded!. The "game store" is over priced and their employees aren't friendly or don't care if they sell a item that doesn't work when You get it home. We stopped shopping there a while ago .2 weeks ago there was a man standing in the middle of the store,yelling they sold me "what ever it was he was holding" I think it was a controller.. That doesn't work,they will take your money!!! He yelled other things to. Everyone holds the door for you,it can be a decent place to shop on the weekend or sell your...
