Farmers Market Association: If you're looking for a true Farmers Market experience then you must show up to witness the variety at the Farmers Market Association. This Farmers Market has been family owned for over 3 generations; believe they know how to cater to their customers. They have the ultimate selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, you can choose to buy them separate or by the bags. Along with all of the fruits and vegetables, they have an extended selection of dried beans and roasted nuts. While most of the produce is either locally grown or flown in from Mexico, you can purchase your own fruit and vegetable plants located at the front of the market. If you're unsure that their produce is the best of the best, they allow you to taste almost each and everything the market has to offer. Before leaving the market, make sure to stop by the "spice booth", which has all of the freshest spices for you purchase and blend.
