Calgary Farmers Market

So I've checked out two farmers markets here. Here's my thoughts.....

Crossroads Farmers Market: I guess this is the original farmers market in Calgary. It's located off Blackfoot Trail near Ogden road, which is on the east side of the city. The produce is decently priced, but not all of it is local. They have meat and cheese outlets as well. The rest of the market sells the usual t-shirts and farmers market stuff I refer to as junk. I personally wasn't overly impressed beyond the food. Parking is cheap 2 dollars for 1 hour

Calgary Farmers Market: Located at the Currie Barracks at the old Canadian Forces base, it's near Marda Loop. Driving in, the parking lot was this black mud, almost as if it was oil or tar mixed with dirt. Not cool. Inside, the market is very nice. It's organized, neat and the isles are large enough to get two people down (or more). The prices are higher, but they seemed to carry alot of local produce, which is a touch more expensive, but local = less enviro impact. They have a large organic area & there are numerous places to eat there. Parking is free

I was most impressed with the Calgary Farmers market. Note to you bus riders, neither appears to be easily accessible by transit.
