My wife, daughter, and I were invited by some friends to walk around and check out the offerings this morning. Up until this point, we had only heard about how great this particular market was, and now having been, we absolutely agree...it's pretty great.
We assumed parking was going to be a hassle, but we were lucky enough to snag a spot nearby pretty quickly, and it only took us maybe four minutes to walk to get to the actual market area. However, if you've never been, this particular Farmer's market takes place in an area where this already a bunch of retail shopping places, so to say that it gets quite congested rather quickly is putting it quite lightly. It's a busy area, and there is no way around it.
The market itself was also extremely busy. I wouldn't say it was overly congested, but it was definitely bustling and busy. Not enough to feel uncomfortable or anything, but enough to have to navigate lines and large groups of people regularly.
Overall we were very impressed with the selection of vendors, both local and from afar. There were all sorts of things available from a ton of different farms and companies. There are also games and activities for the kids, which was a nice touch. Keeping restless children at bay while trying to look around a busy market can be quite the task, so the activities that were offered definitely helped out.
We all walked around until the kids had enough, and then we parted ways, but not without a freshly made (in front of us) bag of donuts from Petey's Donuts. A truly wonderful way to end our morning.
We both left feeling like we definitely need to come back, maybe even on a regular basis.
Cheers!
