I just feel happy starting my weekend at the market - browsing, shopping, enjoying the activity, talking to people I see week after week, and getting a little breakfast. People and the whole vibe is so friendly.\n\nThough you might consider things a bit more pricey than what you'd find at a store, keep in mind that this is locally produced by people who work hard to make artisan products and grow/raise organic food. I appreciate this so much since I have a \"black thumb\" and can't grow much of anything. The in-season product is so good. Asparagus and scapes in the spring. I brave the heat for the corn, peaches, and tomatoes that are their best mid-summer. The kale, squash, potatoes in the fall. Offerings throughout the season include baked goods, jams, handcrafts, jewelry, soaps and salves.\n\nThere's plenty of free parking for both cars and bikes. It's easy access. Bring sunscreen if you're going to hang and bring your own shopping bags if you can. There's all sorts of music going on. And sometimes there are special programs - like local bands, grilled pizza tutorials, bike clinics (where you can get a free tune up!), blood drives if you're able to donate, etc.\n\nBonus: Due to my weekend habit at this farmer's market, I smell and look amazing because I've gotten so much handmade soap and jewelry from vendors here. I go hungry but leave happy - partly because I really enjoy the breakfast burritos, donuts, kettle corn..."^^ .
