Ana is one of many people you'll meet at a community market like this one. Fresh fruits and vegetables, olives and oils, hot-from-the-oven tortillas, and local crafts all attract a diverse clientele and reflect the rich cultural assets of the surrounding community. In the U.S., many markets have arisen to attend to the needs of one particular culture, and to protect that culture's history and tradition. Other markets are intentionally broader and bring together international cultures, cuisines, and crafts.
