If you have ever been to Richmond Public Market to actually shop for groceries, and have come down from the escalator, you have been to this produce section of the main floor. More like a staple, as they have probably the most prime real-estate of this market, it's your Chinese fruits, veggies, and weird condiments seller that you are so used to shopping at, like a mimic of Chinatown, a bustling market.. just way smaller in scope. It seems like if you a regular at this market, this is the place you will be picking your greens, and there is no order to this chaos.
Since coming here on the weekend I noticed they took over a stall across from their main unit, which you scratch your head, but shopping in this place requires a lot of good will and trust... it also requires patience, as the isles are pretty tight, and you are never the only one picking at the fresh produce, and when getting around, some people might not realize they are blocking your path. This is how the people shop here, and this is the norm... espcially to save some $$ compared to the big name supermarkets... you will see the savings.
Be a shopper is the advice I have for you if you plan to drop some coin here... as you know with this market there are many vendors fighting for your dollar, and usually we would drop the bling here, but on this day the more attractive looking fresh produce was at the other vendor, but it's always good to come here as your first stop to look at what you need.. including things like dried noodles, sauces... eggs, soy milk.... and of course fruits and veggies! read more
