Almost all the produce I buy was grown down the road from where I live. I literally buy potatoes straight from the farm where they were grown.

Some farm stores rely on imported produce, but most are actually selling local products and are well worth giving your business to.

Yeah, if you actually know where it's from exactly it's different. Reselling stuff at farmers markets is a very well-known hustle, though.

Thing is, at my local farmer's markets, the prices are lower than the grocery stores, so that scam wouldn't work.

Oh yeah, that's legit then. Lots of people get BC fruit for canning that way in the summer.

I'm not trying to shit on it as a concept, but I hear people pushing farmers markets as a cure-all sometimes, sometimes literally a health cure-all, and it's just not.
