Christopher Corbett, professor of the practice of English, reflected on his local farmer’s market in his latest essay for Style magazine.
“Rain or shine, every Saturday morning, if I am in Baltimore, I swing by the 32nd Street Farmers Market, a habit of city life for me since I moved to Baltimore 32 years ago… I like ritual. And I love the farmers market,” he writes.
He says that one of his favorite things about the market is the variety in both people and what you can find there.
“People talk a good line about diversity hereabouts. But you rarely see a scene as eclectic as the farmers market in Waverly (or its Sunday cousin downtown under the JFX…But the farmers market even accommodates my eccentricities.”
The essay, “To Market,” was published in the May 2012 issue of the magazine.
