The Grand Lake Farmer's Market is a wonderful neighborhood spot. It has tons of organic produce, at very good prices; a lot of specialized things like "the mushroom guy" and of course the Kettle Korn booth; gifts and knick-knacks; the Oaklandish booth; a lot of pre-made food which often includes DELICIOUS French food, awesome Afghan cuisine, and drool-worthy "Shakespearean desserts;" and live music, and just everything. It's a great place to run into people, have brunch, and do some really cheap and healthy grocery shopping. And there are samples of practically everything. Plus, it's year-round!
