“Some market options are available locally, including the Jacksonville Farmers Market on Beaver Street with about 60 different vendors.
Margie Lamb picks up some of her produce at the farmers market because the items are fresh and there's often a variety she can't find at a grocery store.
The Northside resident has a grocery store nearby, but shops at the market for greens and will stop at roadside stands to pick up fresh fruit.
Farmers market customers range from local restaurants to middle-class to poorer people, vendor Glenette Clayton said. She says there is a noticeable bump in business when government assistance checks kick in.

Question: How people were making ends meet during the economic slowdown?
Answer: “Our other major change has been shopping for our vegetables and fruits from the farmers' market off Beaver Street. This helps the local farmers, we're getting the freshest produce and the prices are greatly reduced.”

“If you haven't been to the Farmers' Market on Beaver Street in a while, drop by. It has been remodeled. It is much more orderly and organized.
The watermelon and corn looked particularly good during my recent visit. The market's open every day from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.”
