I guess I just live somewhere with real farms? There are 3 weekly farmers markets near me. All of them are something like 1/2 to 2/3 of the cost, and at least triple the quality of the grocery store.
I'm literally surrounded by farms and the store is cheaper. Unless it's upick. When you pick it yourself it's crazy cheap
I'm curious, is your farmer's market like a grocery store or more like a bunch of kiosks in a central location once a week?
It's a bunch of stands from local farmers and small businesses. They take up two streets in downtown every Saturday morning
That's unfortunate. That's more like a flea market being sold as a farmers market. An actual farmers market is just a grocery store with local products.
Even with upick, it's more expensive. The cost per pint of blueberries or strawberries we pick on the local farm is way more expensive than the grocery store. I guess they're charging us for the experience.
Same thing for apples. $25 for a peck. We went to the store after and the same size bag was 99 cents.
You're getting apples for 10 cents a pound at a grocery store?! Nah there can't be right
Same.
Also my local non-big-corpo supermarket has a whole section for local farmer stuff year round.
