We went last Saturday- it rained just before 9 a.m. there- that could have been a deterrent for some shoppers.

I have been very happy with all the produce I have purchased there and the vast majority of the fresh vegetables ARE home grown.
Let me correct that statement. Home Grown IN SEASON.

I do not agree that the prices of the fresh produce are high.
I do not agree that they are considerably higher than the Market of Marion.
Not at all.

Compare the prices/quality to anywhere else and consider what it takes to get them to that stand in the market. These are local families making an honest living.

I DO agree that some of the NON- produce 'specialty' booths have higher prices than you can find elsewhere.... but some of those products are not FOUND elsewhere- so buy them or don't, as you wish.
