Fulton Street Farmers Market

Being transferred to the Grand Rapids Area. This last spring I sought out a market to shop at. The Fulton Street Market is a large market packed in a small space. Aside from no parking and little supervision on traffic control. You walk down a crowded isle, like a cattle down a funnel covered in a hog pog of tarps.

To me it appears that four large vendors dominate the market, they have multiple booths. The boxes of produce are packaged in the containers that I see in the large stores. (Product of Mexico)

This is the only Farm market that I have ever been to that does not allow samples of produce or other products. Slices of apples little things like that. Even jams, seasonings, bread or herbal dips. Several vendors told me the Market Association forbids it. But I can buy African beads like a flea market. So much for the ambiance and flavor of a market. Samples are not the reason that I go to a farm market. This Fulton Street Market is not the place to shop there are other farm markets in the Grand Rapids area I recommend that you seek them out.
