Lots of local artisans and a couple of food stands, but there was only one vegetable stand at the whole thing. Here's hoping they can attract more food vendors.

It's a good thing. New to the game this year is <a href="http://www.newhopemarket.org" rel="nofollow">the New Hope Community Farmers Market</a>. They had 1200 people come through last weekend (their first) and the produce vendors sold out! They're expanding a bit to keep up with the demand. I'll be there this weekend, and most of the rest of them, selling my handmade soap. I can't decide which of the bigger markets I like the best. Lyndale's nice for it's sheer size, but I hate, hate, hate the produce resellers. Mill City is lovely, but seems to be much more expensive than other markets. I like the northeast farmers market - it's tiny and cute and not busy (and the beef there is great; we bought a 1/4 cow from them), but it doesn't have quite everything you want in a market. Almost every ‘burb has a market these days! It’s a good thing.
