We travel all over Europe (driving) and we love to stop at their outdoor markets and buy their goods. If we have an apartment/vila we eat it there or we eat it as we drive through the great countrysides. We have never been sick from eating from their open air markets. Sounds like Brownwood's Open Air/Farmers Market is just a another way to get some fresh or good tasting foods. As the old person said the problem with today's citizens is that they "worry too much"..
