It's business. If they offer good value, and a product in demand, they will survive. If not, they will close.

Well, the guacamole is made right in front of you. That is about as fresh as it can get. Ohhhhhh, nooooooo, those beautiful avocados are not local. -- She said with a little sarcasm. Shame on her. -- Maybe buy some (and the chips, too) at the end of your visit, take it home, and make some sangria later to go with it.

We always start the visit to Brownwood with a crepe for breakfast.

I usually find something at the produce stands, too.

The markets are a nice addition to the squares. I want to see them continue.......Ever heard anybody &$@#%-ing about empty commercial space in stripmalls and big malls, and even our squares, while ordering everything for themselves online? -- The Irony Principle. -- When we are in TV, I buy books at B&N. That is not easy to do elsewhere anymore. I sure hope B&N stays at LSL....Whoops.....I digress....

If you live in the north end of town and drive a cart, I think roundtrip it's 2 hours.
I asked before and don't think anyone answered my question. Are the veggie vendors in Spanish Springs on thursday the same ones at Brownwood?

It appears that many of the vendors sell at both locations.

I have enjoyed fresh crepes made by Jorge at both locations- although if he is booked for a private event he will sometimes miss a market day.

I think they are. because when I went to Spanish Springs, I saw 3 of the same vendors that work out of Brownwood. Of course, I don't know them all, but the ones I frequent, I noticed. I myself, enjoy the cart ride to Brownwood, even though it takes a good 40 minutes from Caroline. I just don't buy frozen shrimp that day. hehehe
