Unfortunately, that farmers market was moved to a location closer to where new homes are being sold.
Spanish Springs event is called Mercado - which literally means Market

“Our newest edition to the Villages Markets, The Mercado at Spanish Springs features Handmade Crafts, Art and Locally Grown Produce. This event also features live acoustic music on the Gazebo Stage every Saturday.”
Produce vendors go where the money is - if there were plenty of customers spending money in SS, there would be produce tables.

Brownwood was packed today at 11.
