Adore Eastern Market and always have. Worked there for 5 yrs or so. It was kind of crazy but I like the edge. 3 shifts of bums, all different agendas.

The jobbers, the guns, the overt/covert hostility between the old style companies was fascinating. These guys would have 15K or more in their pockets. Sadly most of those companies are gone.
Its actually Columela and its a brand from Spain. I still like it and will be there in a couple weeks but someone needs to get the message to people running it that it would be nice if we can get more farmers. Who knows, maybe the rents they are charging are alot. Not sure. It seems all the farmers head to Royal Oak and possibly Birmingham. Nothing beats local stuff. I can buy Avocados at Krogers!
