Eastern Market

Look I'm not doubting the experience or the fun but they used to have really great prices. I could get Columela Olive Oil for the best price down there. Now, not so. I guess I consider myself a food elitist and IMO, the only thing worth it is the local farmers, Devries, and fairway packing. I'm not sure about that new Adams Market. I haven't gone in there yet.

What is Fairway Packing? What is Adams Market?

Cliffy, I was very unsettled when I realized that so many of the vendors were selling out of a bag or a box that they had bought...then I was like, oh well. Lol! They gotta make a living, too. I also don't feel so bad when they have to sell dirt cheap at the end of the day; I don't think so much about them toiling in the sun for meager reward, but rather, they just overbought.

Yes, The fact that there are more farmers in the northern markets probably is related to economics.

Most of the time, I don't have time to meander through the whole market, I do all my veggie shopping at Detroit Whole Produce, on Riopelle. They are often more expensive than in the sheds, but it's ok for my basic stuff.
