I started going to our city’s farmers market when I was in high school. I had a friend who worked at one of the booths so I liked to make an excuse out of going on Saturday mornings. That way I could hang out with my friend and still get a few things for my parents. Back then I would buy a lot of the fresh honey products from the beekeepers table. My parents were huge fans of the honey and even the honeycomb. Sometimes you would get raw unfiltered honey too. I also would buy coffee beans and other delicious treats. Back then though things were pretty scaled back compared to what it is now. There were maybe 20 vendors at the time, now they’re at least 60 and the farmers market spans two different streets. It’s a pretty significant affair nowadays. I went the other week and saw that people were using personal air coolers on their tables. These are those little tiny swamp coolers that are designed to mimic the look of an air conditioner while having absolutely none of the functionality of an air conditioner. They basically expect people to believe that an evaporative cooler would work in high humidity, but all it’s doing is spraying this in your face. You might as well just use a humidifier with a fan blowing the humidity in your face. That’s the most you’re going to get out of a personal air cooler. they’re scammy products that are meant to take advantage of people who don’t understand the difference between an air conditioner and an air cooler. They’re two completely different machines altogether.
