Markets

Markets are another common way to buy food, mostly produce.  In some places markets are set up and torn down daily; in other places market days are weekly occurrences.

Most towns and cities also have markets that are somewhat permanent.  They have tables and a roof that are always there, but the merchandise is packed up and taken home each day.  In those markets you can find just about anything.  Marbles, brooms, and stools might be in one booth, while seeds of all sorts and kinds are sold in the next booth over.  There is no rhyme or reason to what is sold where.

These photos are of a produce market.  I believe these were set up a couple of times a week.
