| - I am in love with this market. Amazing selection of fresh produce, local honey, dates, salad dressings, salsas, fruit spreads, beans, nuts, grains. Shop early to avoid the crowds and really have the best selection of what's offered (before everything is all picked over). The crowds are insane and it's worth it to get up at 7am to be there when they open.
This morning I bought local made salsa, bulk dried sweet basil, 2lbs of navy beans, 7 apples(honeycrisp and jazz), 4 oranges, 2 red grapefruit, 1# brussel sprouts, 1/2#green beans, 3 tomatoes, 1 cucumber, 1 eggplant, 1 green cabbage, 1# strawberries, packaged organic baby spinach, 2 red bell peppers and 3 onions. $18.54!
A lot of the produce seems "fresh from a farm" as it's dirty, roughly packaged and smells like veggies should. There's always something new (for me) to try - All kinds of peppers, greens, apples of every variety and in the summer - well it's like a fruit orgy ;)
The only thing stopping me from giving this place 5 stars - sometimes you have to be careful in choosing - especially berries/tomatoes and other softer fruits. I don't expect perfection, but I expect everything to be fresh, but sometimes what they put out is a little beat up and even starting to turn. Don't let this stop you, just go here and see.
