The Farmer's Market is a big success. Every Tuesday the number of buyers swell and more vendors have been added. The name is a bit misnomer because there are only a half dozen vendors selling farm produce. There is one fish monger, 2 vendors selling fruit and vegetables and 2 selling bread. Then about 10 folks sell prepared food. Lots of customers take the products home while lots of others eat sitting at the many tables and chairs. White tents are scattered down the center of the rows of vendors with chairs covered with white. Customers sit and chat while they eat. It is all very pleasant.
All the rest of the about 60 vendors sell typical Mexican products. You can buy anything at our market, from clothes to jewelry and everything in between. The market also is run in other places so every day the vendors are busy selling their goods. I have no idea who runs the Farmer's Market but I am pleased with the organization. Customers come in bikes and cars and taxis with many on foot. This is the third year it has operated at our site. It is very convenient for us. After a large shopping at the Mega when we arrived, we have purchased all our fruit and vegetables, as well as bread and fish at our local market just across the street.
Tomorrow, Doreen and I will visit the market but we will not buy any food. We both will be leaving Mexico later this week. I wish I could shop at a Farmer's Market everywhere I live. It is fun and festive, but the most important part is the food which is fresh. I will miss this market.
