It makes no sense to me, the orchard and berry places I have been, are cheaper than the grocery store; because the farmer gets to keep all the profit and it isn’t going through a chain or handling markups.

It used to be this way, because I enjoyed buying direct from farms, getting CSA boxes, buying at farmer's markets, etc.

Even just this year, tomatoes, lettuce, apples, strawberries, cucumber... all considerably more expensive at the local farmer's market than getting local from our grocery store. I was only able to afford to go to the farmer's market for a few weeks before going back to the grocery store for the same stuff. 😮‍💨
