Great market for both fruits and veggies plus a large fresh plant section. The nicest produce ,beautifully presented. Most are locally sourced. The vendors are friendly and helpful, and most accept credit card payments. Super nice way to send a morning or afternoon. There are also cheese and meat purveyors.
