[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 12 points 8 months ago (2 children) I'm literally surrounded by farms and the store is cheaper. Unless it's upick. When you pick it yourself it's crazy cheap permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) 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? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 child) It's a bunch of stands from local farmers and small businesses. They take up two streets in downtown every Saturday morning permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zaph@sh.itjust.works -3 points 8 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RalphFurley@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago You're getting apples for 10 cents a pound at a grocery store?! Nah there can't be right permalink fedilink source parent [–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago Same. Also my local non-big-corpo supermarket has a whole section for local farmer stuff year round. permalink fedilink source parent
