Here's another model: The open air produce market in Dominica is not strictly a farmer's market as there are also plenty of vendors who have purchased their produce from local farmers. (There are also a few vendors who are selling mostly imported, processed foods, but also a few imported fresh produce items that don't compete with local produce (potatoes, onions, garlic).) The market is open nonstop from Friday morning through Saturday late afternoon, as well as all weekdays. Farmers selling their things retail or wholesale to the vendors come and go for the days and hours within that suit them; many arrive all through Friday night to sell for the biggest market day Saturday. A few retail farmers will also get to market Friday evening and stay through Saturday morning, maybe even sleeping there (no, no facilities) when things get slow. We get there about 6:15 AM (ugh) because the largest proportions of our customers arrive and our sales take place between about 6:30 and 8:30 A.M. We'll leave, usually around 1 P.M., when we've sold all/enough and the heat and noise of market reach our tipping point. Best wishes to all, Karen Roots Farm Organic Produce Fruits, Roots, Vegetables & Herbs Cochrane, DOMINICA 767-449-3038 (before 7 P.M.)
