Overcrowded.
Overpriced.
Inconvenient.
I'm giving the experience three stars, instead of the one or two stars I think it really deserves, because it's a nice idea - in concept: A "farmer's market" combined with a crafts fair and gourmet food.
Perhaps it was the day I went, but the "Farmer's Market" portion was a little light. The crafts fair portion I thought was pricey. The food was wonderful, but I hate waiting in long lines. Plus, they only take cash.
The highlight for me was a both from Brophy (a local private boys high school). These kids were selling something called "Cookies in a Jar" - prepackage ingredients that the boys shop for and build. The proceeds go to their charity (they adopt a family). It isn't a cheap product - $12 a jar, but I was just so impressed with their attitude, I bought a couple of jars. It's nice to see teenage kids really care!
Other than this, the experience was more frustrating than enjoyable. Think I'll skip this and go to the Farm at South Mountain and then downtown to the Farmer's Market.
