I want to talk about the farmers'
market in my town, which is a type of open-air market my wife and I really
enjoy going to.

    I live in a small town near the San
Francisco Bay Area and they have a farmers' market on its main street in
downtown every Saturday in the summertime. This open-air market is
actually quite small, about only 3 blocks long, but you can find all
sorts of products. Here you can find locally grown fresh fruits and
vegetables as well as handmade accessories and jewelry. There are also some
stands selling different kinds of snacks, such as caramel apple, kettle
corn, and cotton candy. 

    My wife and I really enjoy going to
this farmers' market because the atmosphere is quite relaxing. All the vendors
are locals and they treat everyone nicely. I also feel they are honest people
and would never try to trick you when selling you something. In fact, we
have bought oranges, apples, and different kinds of vegetables, and everything
was indeed quite fresh.  

All in all, although very small,
this farmers' market is a wonderful place for local residents to hang out and
buy some fresh produce.
