Thanks for the info. That’s a very convenient location, so I’ll check it out.

Cool. Give us your feedback.
I’ve gone to that farmers market as it’s pretty close. Every farmers market has a different “flavor” or vibe perhaps is a better word.
I think about the farmers. They either have to come or send someone so if they come, who’s minding the farm? Being a small farmer like that and depending on a volume of people to buy your goods from one or maybe two farmers markets per week is got to be tough. They are paying for wear and tear on their vehicle, gas, and time. How do they decide which farmers market to participate in?

Good point. I never thought of it that way. Must be allot of hard work.

I stopped there about a month ago when they had big signs out, and there was only one small booth where I bought some red bell peppers – I asked and they said that the number of vendors varied.
I’ll give it one more try tomorrow, but I had pretty much written it off as a real Farmers Market.

Yep.
But no harm in both of us blogging it especially for a good cause.

Well, I dropped by this afternoon and the Redhouse Dancers were performing before a group of about 60 people, but there were only 2 market booths left, and 3 tables selling Native American crafts and frybread. Seems like Broadway Village is also trying to collect food for the CFB but it wasn’t much of a festival. I’ll have to check out the Friday farmer’s market some other time in the morning…

I would think all day is a big time commitment to the farmers and people get into a routine of when they go.
