"Bedford has been a thriving market town since 1166, when King Henry II granted Bedfordians their original Charter to hold markets." [From the local council website] So, yes, I have frequently shopped in our local market. 😀

That’s great, do you prefer it over a regular supermarket?

We have IX Market, as well as--two--other outdoor ones that sell fresh produce, prepared food and drink as well as clothing, et cetera, every Saturday and/or Sunday, in Charlottesville, Virginia. (Tangentially, one of the students at the High School I taught at's family, actually, sold organic produce from their farm, in front of the Whole Foods grocery store, (aka Amazon subsidiary,) many years ago. . . I mentioned this because I'm not sure the aforementioned weekend markets offer organically-grown produce.) Hyper-capitalism is corrosive. . .
