Some vendors come every week, while others only come when they have a product to sell. One thing that never changes, however, is the variety of products offered. The variety of food includes many ethnic foods, such as Mexican, Chinese and Indian, as well as American favorites like barbecue and homemade bread. In addition to the food, the market also offers live entertainment. Each week, a local band comes to provide music for shoppers and vendors.
People can come to get their food, visit and listen to music.
Vendors and shoppers agree the Farmer's Market is a worthwhile experience for everyone. Bob Lassiter, a vendor at the market since it began four years ago, said he enjoys being a part of the community of vendors that develop at the market. Lassiter also values being able to present people with the opportunity to buy quality products. Drake students offer a different perspective on why they enjoy the Farmer's Market. I think it's also important to support something good going on in the neighborhood.
