It has a very welcoming feeling to it. As many as 90 are present on any given day. The market's presence evolves through the seasons with the changes in crops. Summer brings goods such as corn, peaches and melons, while fall delivers apples, grapes and kiwis. In the wintertime, customers purchase oranges, salad greens and broccoli, while popular spring items include apricots, cherries and asparagus.
Merchants sell more than just produce, however.
Shoppers can buy baked goods, salad dressings, sausages, spices, plants, flowers and even clothes. All goods are homemade or homegrown by the person at the table selling them. According to MacNear, many students love to bring their parents to the farmers market during their sporadic weekend visits to Davis. She said that many students also bring gifts from the market, such as dried fruits and nuts, to their parents during their visits back home. Because the market draws huge crowds of people, local food establishments set up booths to feed the hungry marketgoers Wednesday nights between April and September.
