Westport Farmers' Market, Thursday, Imperial Avenue

This market was always high-end hoity-toity stuff, but not like now!

Save yourself some big bucks and stop at the food court at the Trumbull Mall. Yeesh, You'd think a farmers' market would have farmers. OK, this one does, two or three of the very best that CT has to offer. But plow yourself past the bakeries and takeout foods and and - - -Where's the Farmer?

Small farmers? forgettit! $500 to apply. Agree to a table fee. And a percentage of take. Look at the numbers, and you have to be a mighty-big-entity to survive that camp...Even the percentage-daily fees are skewed, big time, against the small players.

This is NOT what Paul Newman wanted.

Makes me sad.
