Operating on a rotating circuit of seven lakeside access points across the GLMZ waterfront, The Floating Market is a weekly physical food market that has operated since 2185, predating the current corponation food licensing regime by several years and thus operating under a grandfather clause that gives it unusual legal latitude to sell real and semi-real food products. The market's 80-120 regular vendors include Great Lakes fishing cooperatives, vertical farm surplus sellers, geneware plant cultivators, fermentation specialists, spice blenders, and a rotating selection of Shelf and Tier 2 food preparers serving hot food from portable units. Prices range from Φ0.50 for a synth-fish cake to Φ85 for a jar of real honey from one of the market's three licensed apiary vendors.
