We go to the Brownwood one from time to time. One guy sells his hot sauce there, "Pearl Of The Antilles" that is the best I've ever had. Pretty pricy though at (as I recall) $16 for a five-ounce bottle, or two for $30. That's sort of SOP there though: you're not going to find any bargains insofar as price goes--all about "organic", I guess. My wife also buys Asian vegetables there. Again, pretty pricy but it beats driving to Ocala for the Asian market there that sells similar produce.
Speaking of Ocala; we went to a pretty good Farmer's Market there a few years back; locally sourced products (if you can believe the signs) at pretty reasonable prices. Probably a few such markets in that area. The advantage, IMO, is that the merchants there don't necessarily see dollar signs when they think "Villagers" so you're more apt to find actual bargains.
