It's a farmers market, not an arts-and-crafts fair.

I don't think it would hurt anything to have more vendors at the farmer's market. I would love to see some crafts there. It would be more interesting.

Why the focus on how "interesting" the farmers market is, and how it's "visually dull"? We go there to buy fresh, locally grown food, not to be entertained. I say again, it's a farmers market, not a craft fair, not an entertainment site. Ms. Zawoluk points out that her exhibition application was accepted by the Urban Market and the Beacon Market. Judging by their names, they are -not- exclusively farmers markets, which is fine. Perhaps the people interested in a crafts market should see about establishing one. (And I'll bet if they did and then farmers wanted to join it, they'd say, "Hey, we don't need the competition, buddy, this is a crafts market...")
