A 2nd place farmer's market

The Temescal Farmer's market is so close to my house and yet so unsatisfying in comparison to the Berkeley Farmer's market. Temescal is just a fraction of the Berkeley Market -- I wouldn't depend on it for all my weekly shopping because there's not nearly the same variety of produce or vendors. As a result, the prices seem a bit higher. The focus seems to be mostly on the non-produce vendors and the prepared food stalls.

This market appears to be a destination for people with small children in strollers, who are apparently there to train their children how to run around in crowds and get underfoot. More than once, I've found it difficult to just pop in and grab a few things without tripping over a stroller pushed out in front of me by a parent looking in another direction (who would give me the evil eye for "walking too fast").

Use sparingly. Go to the Berkeley Farmer's market instead -- Saturday morning or Tuesday nights.
