I hadn’t been to the OB farmers market in a few years. I went last night and was wondering if this is consistently what it’s like now. It was 90% hot food vendors, then there were 3 big booths with all the same crappy cheap and knock off jewelry, a couple produce and plant stands, and maybe 4 actual vendors with interesting homemade items. It was kind of a bummer because OB was always my favorite market…but the vibe just wasn’t there anymore.

Is it always like this now or did I catch it on an off night? I’m sure the cost to rent a booth these days is prohibitive to the awesome smaller artists and jewelers that used to rent there.
