Banan Food Truck
3212 Monsarrat AveEvery Saturday there is a wonderful farmer's market here (Tuesdays from 4-7pm as well - much smaller version). Saturday market is from 7:30-11am, but you'll want to go early to truly experience all it has to offer. Lots of fruits, vegetables, flowers, locally made items, such as honey, coffee, etc. Not to mention a ton of food vendors so go hungry!
