Their produce is piled high in woven baskets. The displays would make an interior designer jealous. They are also one of few farms which have brought a full-size moving van to the market. It is early June, not yet time for the fall and winter fruits. Strawberries, however, are everywhere.
Diversification seems to be a key element in the farmer-vendors' commercial success.
Most of the vendors sell not only produce, but products such as flowers, baked goods and salad dressings. The man who sells honey also sells beeswax candles. The woman who sells freshly cut herbs also has available live plants for customers who might like to try their hands at growing their own parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. In the middle of the block, on one side of the street, is the stand of the market's sponsor, the Ecology Center. Like the vendors, the Center parks along the curb with a car and awning display.
