I really enjoyed my Saturday morning at the Old Town market, but I think calling it a farmer's market is a bit of a stretch. It should be called a farmer's boutique! It seemed like 90% of the produce comes from one grower, I think I saw maybe 2 of the smaller stands that had produce. All of the other stands were either pre-made food items or specialty items. It's also very expensive. When I go to a farmer's market I expect to pay less than I would in a grocery store, not twice as much.
Maybe I'm just spoiled because I'm used to the Eastern Market in Detroit. It's at least three times the size of the Old Town market with 30+ vendors selling produce. I spent about $30 on produce, for what I got I would have paid under $10 back in Detroit!
Some of the food vendors are absolutely incredible. There's a French bakery, they offer pastries and bread. I got an almond croissant and it was mind blowingly good!! The vendor that sells jams is also incredible. I bought meyer lemon marmalade and fig jam. The marmalade is really good, but the fig jam is exceptional. Probably the best I've ever had!
I will definitely go back, but next time I think I'll just stick to the specialty items and skip the produce.
