Every Farmers Market has their unique charm and their unique vendors. I specifically come to this one when I am looking for some good organic asian vegetables. There are a few vendors that are my absolute favorites to go to. One of them is the certified organic vendor that is about middle of the farmer's market that sells a ton of asian vegetables. The family that runs the farm grows the stuff, they are certified, and they are really nice people. There is a big difference in taste in organic vegetables and not organic ones. The family is so nice you can ask them all your questions like if a certain veggie that grow has more of a sweet taste, or which one is good for what dish, or how they think its good to cook said vegetable, etc. They have pea sprouts, chinese broccoli, baby broccoli, yams, sweet potatoes, ginger, papaya, leeks, onions, cilantro, chives, napa cabbage, taiwanese cabbage, their own picked mustard greens, chayote squash leaves, onions, carrots, cauliflower, bok choy, the white bok choy, taiwanese spinach, celery, you choy, bitter melon dried pieces for health, and lots of other things that rotate sometimes. Their prices run about $6.00/lb.
Across the street from them is this sweet lady that grows and runs her own booth and she is one of the few vendors I have seen that sells affordable mushrooms, her main crop is oyster, shiitake, and wood ear. She also has an assortment of vegetables that rotate. She also has those expensive dried mushrooms, I think they are called reiki mushroom? I am not sure.
There are also a lot of other great vendors I like here, like a sprout vendor (he's usually got that grumpy bear vibe thought lol), a vendor that sells really fresh organic lettuce, flowers, organic kales, broccoli vendors, there is this guy who only sells fuji and lady apples and they are crispy and delicious and organic!
There's also a lot of good food vendors, like for salsa, chinese breakfast, popcorn, etc.
There is free parking on the street around the farmers market and free lot next to it or across the street from the library.
