The cavernous space dotted with market stands is suddenly flush with customers who have dashed in from the nature walk, face painting table and cob-making workshop. The crowd is almost elbow-to-elbow, but not quite. There are lineups - well, short ones - to check out the organic meat, nab a bag of sprouts and wait for a bowl of spicy hot chic peas.
That was 11:30 a.m. An hour later, the place is nearly empty. Was market day a success? Sort of. The organic beets have long sold out, the breakfast burrito guy must be ready to collapse, but there are still lots of peaches left on display.
