The positive economic impact to a community from public markets is evident in Seattle in the area of the Pike Market in downtown. Not only does the Pike Market itself flourish, but surrounding businesses as well.

Excellent comments, both! This truly is about bigger lifestyle changes. Markets can make it easier to get more people to change the way that they shop and eat; but people need to change the way they shop and eat so that more successful markets can develop! It’s a bit of a catch-22, but it’s not insurmountable. If you live near a market, make it part of your routine. It’s not just good for your diet, it’s good for your whole town.

Love this idea of healthy food hubs! I realize I have to change my mindset from thinking of our fabulous West Side Market in Cleveland as a periodic “special occasion” venture to something more routine.

What a great story! I’m lucky enough to live in the Australian city of Adelaide, right in the city. I walk to & from work, thru a great market, Adelaide Central market. On the walk to work I get fruit for the day & on the walk home I get veggies for dinner, it’s the highlight of my day, I love my market. When I travel, the first thing I do when I arrive in a new city is find the markets!
