… farmers markets don’t work without local farms…. Lmfao what a take.

They will also also have cheap seasonal food, if you want out of season, it’s always going to be expensive. Sounds like people here don’t understand how farmers market actually work and expect them to have the same options as the big box stores…

How did you even glean that from what I said? Yeah, of course they have cheap seasonal food that's exactly my point. That's exactly why they're not overpriced yuppie shit as the person I was replying to claimed. People claim they're overpriced anyway because they're comparing them to the grocery store chains that sell less quality food and not local food for cheaper and underpay their workers. I'm not comparing apples to organes here I'm literally saying people would rather pay $4 for a pound pf California strawberries than $7 for a pound of local seasonal strawberries.

They don't work in places without local farms, that's fine then figure out something else for that area, but my point is no need to shit on farmers markets or on buying local.
