One is open on Thursday mornings in On Top of the World and the other is held on Saturdays in the downtown square.<br /><br />The roadside stands are always iffy as some of these folks buy their products from wholesalers and they are neither "local" or "homegrown." <br /><br />We have found that our Sam's Club offers the best produce and the best fruit at the best prices of any place in the area.

Despite the onset of big business, we still maintain a thriving farmers market in many cities. Hope that never ends. Love both Santa Fe's and St. Paul's outdoor markets. During the summer in the Midwest, I visit ours every Saturday, whether I need the produce or not, wearing a hat and carrying an umbrella. . .pretending. Ah, my fair lady.
