Metal Leo brought me here. What a stark difference from before to now. So sad.

Better music than most videos on you tube.

more people should see this

I was 4 when my family was interviewed in this film - I grew up at the Davis Farmer's Market - and this is the first time I saw the film. Its so great! Thank you for making this! We are strong and healthy and our resistance is high!!

I was studying dry regulatory materials for a County Certificate for Commodities, Standardization, and Certified Farmers Markets. It can be dry. This was a great pause and a very humanizing window on what these markets mean to the consumers and producers. Thank you Mike Lee.

No middle man? So there is no vendor fee at Davis Farmer's Market? I don't think so. It is not "Direct-to-consumer sales" at any farmers market, unless the farmers market is free of charge for the farmer. Going to the farm where the farmer is selling you direct, that would be the case. Here are the fees that the Farmer has to pay out from the Davis Farmers Market website. No markup? You have a 100% markup if you don't sell at the Davis Farmer's Market because you have to pay the minimum stall fee. Your markup could be as low as 6% and as high as 100%. www.davisfarmersmarket.org/info/apply-to-sell Fees: Stall Fees are calculated as a percentage of the seller's gross sales for that Market day. A minimum stall fee will be collected for each space used, even in case of no sales. Members: 6% of gross sales ($30 minimum on Saturday, $20 minimum at Picnic in the Park and $10 minimum at the UC Davis Farmers Market and the Sutter Davis Hospital Farmers Market) Membership Dues: $40 first year, $25 subsequent years Non-Members: 8% of gross sales, $26 minimum (You must be a member to sell on Saturday, at the Central Park Davis Farmers Market.) Approved vendors can sell as non-members at both the UC Davis and Sutter Davis Hospital Farmers Markets.

LOL! "Looking the person in the eye......" Dr. Maring. That wasn't nice, but still very ironic........

Only 14 likes... I was smiling through out the whole video! Wish more people "invested" in their future!! Davis Farmers' Market is now in my bucket list!

Thanks Chef Todd! Glad you liked it. When time permits, I hope you'll watch the full documentary at my You Tube channel mhlee2020.

Thank you for an informative video that accurately reflects the community of people that gather around fresh food. I find that people who go to farmers markets are kind and supportive of others in their community...unlike YT posters. I liked it so much, I've embedded it on my blog. Thanks for the vid!

So glad you had a chance to view the documentary. Davis Farmers' Market is a very special place with very special people. One of the best FMs in the country. Pass it on...

I love Davis so much. Very well done.

TROPICAL SOUL REGGAE BAND IS HERE EVERY THIRD SATURDAY OF THE MONTH

The G'ville Farmers Mkt is a joke. 4-8 pm? Really? 1 day a wk? Really? The City wonders why nobody goes downtown. For a city that somehow prides itself on being "green," 4 hrs on a Wednesday is disgraceful. Forget about parking. Ever since the City brilliantly ruined Main St and 86'ed more places to park, it really shows the dedication of the people who will fight traffic to buy their tempeh, samosas and watermelons. neighboring communities champion farmers. Gainesville leaves much 2 be desired.

Thanks! Hope the new market is at least as good as the MPM. It's a great place to shop and the summertime outside Farmers' Market should be starting soon.

Can't wait until the NewBo City Market opens in November. If HALF of it looks like this (here's to hoping for more than that!), we are one lucky community!

Hi Doron. Thanks for your comments. The market is open 4 to 7pm on Wednesdays.

Beautiful !! what's the open hours on Wed ?? Doron

We were honored to be invited to offer Anoush... botanicals and organics in their Summer in the City Market ~ Thumbs up!

Sorry you guys feel that way - really. As for diversity the film is a reflection of the community that attends the weekly Farmers' Market. We didn't set anything up. We recorded what we saw. As far as the music, I strongly disagree but would be glad to hear what you have to say. Mike.

This music is unbearable.

Wow! Davis is so progressive I didn't see one black person the entire video. diversity!

Thanks for your kind comments. Iowa City is a terrific market in a sweet little college town. Hope you have a chance to view some of the other markets we've featured on our web site.

Very good Video !! Informative and everyone was very knowledgeable.

Thanks for your comments. We were very impressed with the quality of the Davis market and the enthusiasm we heard from patrons and vendors alike. Must be wonderful to have such a thriving center of commerce near your home. Say hello to Randii MacNear (the dedicated and very professional market manager) when you see her. Mike Lee

Thanks for the video. My family has lived in Davis over 20 years and the Farmer's Market has been part of our lives for that whole time, definitely a big part of the quality of life here!

Everything looks delicious!!

Hi monadak47. Glad to hear from you. Good luck at moving to the south. Hope you make it. Mike Lee

Hello 12string. Yes, when we visited Gainesville the end of January, it was a bit chilly but not anywhere as cold as the rest of the country. The market provides live music from the stage during every Wednesday's farmers' market. The musicians captured on the video is Charlie Lybrand's band.The soundtrack on the video however, is custom music created by Mitran Mitran Music in Chicago. If you like farmers' markets, check out my other videos for exemplary markets in other cities. Mike Lee
