food markets
Where provisions abound
Food markets are places where food is bought and sold, ranging from open-air stalls selling fresh produce to large indoor halls with multiple vendors.
The term covers farmers' markets, fish markets, and general grocery markets.
Unlike supermarkets, food markets often feature individual sellers and emphasize fresh, local, or specialty goods: We picked up vegetables at the food market this morning.
