| - What a cute little farmers market! I ventured out this morning in search of a market I could call my own, after leaving Kansas City's very awesome and huge River Market Farmer's Market. I can safely say if I end up moving closer to Old Town, this weekly event will make me happy!
It's on the small-ish side, but it sure packs a punch in the produce section. I was really impressed by the selection, the organization and especially the check out lines. Everything was in it's place and looked beautiful.
The tents of other goods and foods (and good foods, see what I did there) were awesome as well. Samples galore! Tamales (Vegan! Gluten free!), hummus and pita, nuts, delicious looking bread and fresh flowers were just some of the things to be found. There was also a company set up selling iced tea and coffee (iced... or hot, if you're a maniac) on the corner of the market.
3 stars stands for A-OK on Yelp, and that's exactly what I thought about OTFM. Like I said, if I end up moving closer to the area it could be bumped up a star...for now, it's just a wee bit on the small side for me to drive almost half an hour every week. Also, parking is free on the streets and the public parking garage, but I'd advise to get here early. Market opens at 8:30 and I got there at 8:45ish with no problem parking in the compact cars section. (Next to a Navigator..uhh?) But when I left around 10:45 most spaces were taken. Get there early and enjoy local tastiness!
