The majority of the vendors @Brownwood have raised their prices to the point where to me it simply is not worth the trip. The Marion Market is without a doubt far better,as I mentioned in the beginning the Brownwood market was really,really good However the vendors have gotten greedy.
Selection variety is definitely down and prices are up.
Not sure if it is seasonal or the additional market.

Seems to be fewer vegetable stands and more "other businesses"

The last time it was truly a local farmers market was when it was still in Wildwood
