The look of astonishment on the faces of those hoping to scoop up armfuls of fresh produce at the new farmers’ market in the Yarmouth Hospital was comical at 11 a.m. Thursday, the scheduled start time.

I agree, John! I have been trying all summer to get eggs at the market since I don't want to run around all over the country looking around and they seem to vanish as soon as they open. I love the idea of the hospital market and would patronize it but it seems one would have to be there extra early if they want anything.

I'm a lover of the farmers market, but what happened at the hospital highlights the frustration of may of the markets patrons. If you advertise a start time stick to it. It is xtremley frustrating to get there and find that everything is sold out and the market isn't even supposed to be open yet. Imagine going to the super store for an item thats on slae and it's gone before the store even opened . You would be upset, this is no different. Please be respectful of your clients and stick to your schedule. Thanks John :-)
