Fresh, locally grown fruits, veggies, meats, etc. It is indoors and not as big in the winter, but hold about 100 different vendors. Lots of free samples.
*Local tip: try the Peanut butter from "Butter me up" in the inside of the market. SOO delish. My step mom has me bring some home to NY whenever I go home because she's addicted.
