Page: Markets

There are some food co-ops which run markets with a variety of stalls or with lots of different types of produce, such as fruit and vegetables, wholefoods and other household products. Food co-ops may also run stalls at other existing markets but this is not always possible, as they may not meet all the criteria needed to attend some markets, such as farmers' markets.
