After hearing a lot about the market under the JFX and how big it is, it is still a trek for my wife and I to get out there, but we were told that the 32nd St Farmers Market was a nice walk away from our place. My wife and I have already been several times and we are thankful that it is open year around as opposed to most other markets in the area are seasonal.
One thing to share is that it is dependent on the weather, one day I went when it was cold and rainy and it was really sparse, in fact the only hot food that was available was from the empanada vendor, but on sunny days, the place is packed.
There are some vendors that will accept CCs, but not very many, so cash is king. There is an option for those with CCs, they have tokens worth $5 each and all you have to do is pay a small fee to cover the expense of a cc transaction, which is not that big of deal, plus the tokens are good at any time you visit so you don't have to use them all in one day.
My wife and I do like to come and get a variety of items, from veggies to fish to pickles and kimchi, but we also like to partake of the ready to eat items, we have already had the empanadas which are small and some would say expensive (1 for 5, 2 for 8) but each of those pockets are packed with flavor and not to mention rich, you would think it was money well spent. There is also a burrito vendor where you can get a mission style burrito from a mother and daughter team that have the assembly of said burrito down to a science . Other vendors we had not tried are a bagel vendor as well as a curry vendor.
My take, if you live in the surrounding neighborhoods of 32nd and Barclay (Old Goucher, Barclay, Waverly, etc) what the heck are you waiting for, head on over.
