White people like Farmers Markets, and if the Richmond version is anything to go by so do people of other races as well. Shopping there on Saturday morning makes you feel like an extra in a United Colours of Benetton ad... one where people walk harmoniously down a narrow lane, squeezing fresh produce and forking out ridiculously small amounts of money for sustainable and organic goodness.
The reality is that these markets make the Vic Market look extortionate. Your fridge won't be able to cope with your new spending power. If you want cheese, breads, bum bags, curios and like listening to South American gypsy music then Viccy Market is definitely still the go. The only music down in Richmond is the sweet wit of the stall owners. Quote of the day "Those cost $5 each at a supermarket and you are asking me for a discount on $1.50?"
