We've never gone to that Marion Market but from what has been posted here we're going to give it a shot.

Agree with a lot that has been said about the Brownwood Farmer's Market. We go there now and again; it is an enjoyable weekend morning outing. But we don't go there expecting to find bargains because there aren't any: most items are at grocery-store prices or above. My wife likes it though because there is a stand that sells a fair number of Asian vegetables (daikon, bok choy, snow pea pods, others). For my part other than just walking around and enjoying the atmosphere, there is a hotsauce vendor, "Remo's Pearl of the Antilles" that sells handmade hot sauce at a ridiculously high price but that is exceptionally good and whose stand I patronize from time to time.
