There's nothing like the taste of fruits and veggies (or eggs!) fresh from the farm. You'll never go back to store-bought produce again.
Many of the vendors have been here for years or even decades. Martin's Kitchen started selling at The Windmill in 1998. They offer coffees, teas, and bulk spices.

You've absolutely got to stop by Nana's Tater Shack. They sell deep-fried butterfly-cut potatoes that are to die for. There's a variety of toppings to choose from.
