YMMV. If you can bike to three farmers' markets, they sell it, or it goes to waste. Plenty of goods there.

I live a bit further from farms. We get a market or two per county. Occasional roadside stands.

I've seen trucks on the side of the road selling Driscoll's berries at grocery prices when they were in season sourced from several states away. I've also seen farmers' markets where everything is half the retail price.

You also have to consider where people are shopping. If they're already at Aldi or Lidl, they're already taking advantage of fresh/high quantity purchases. If they're in spouts, wegmans or whole foods, you can proably walk out of there for $1 on a $10.
