you do shop at your local weekly farmer's market.....right anon?

my local farmers market makes me think of somalia

Yeah, sure. Why not.

I would, if my tiny town in the middle of nowhere had one

It's not cost-effective but I still browse. It's always super expensive produce that generally looks the same as the stuff at the supermarket, and a few prepared stuff given ridiculous prices like a tiny bottle of hot sauce for eighteen bucks. I would like to be the kind of guy that's constantly buying shit from the farmer's market instead of the supermarket, but I can't afford it.

No. It's not even May. There's still snow on the ground. Most of it is super expensive for no reason. We even have Amish, and their stuff ain't good here either. 

I tried some of the food truck food, and it's also total shit.

I go get pierogis, fry bread tacos, and tamales when the churches do their thing.

In greece we have one in every neighborhood basically once a week, super cheap food, 1.5 euro for a kilo of strawberies, yum

yeah. they have some things regular groceries don't and also higher quality than the shit that regular groceries sell

Mine only opens in summer. I have been to other towns where they use this amazing technology called a big tent and have it year round. But they couldnt figure that out here.

The farmer markets in my area are shit. There are two notable ones in the city. One is in the "good" side of town, and is only open every Saturday that has absolutely no chance of rain, and only for a small few hours (11am-3pm). Very overpriced goods and vegetables sold by hipsters and garden hobbyists looking more to flex around their peers than actually sell. The other farmer's market is downtown and is mostly hispanics reselling walmart vegetables and eye-covered potatoes from their backyards. The one that actual famers sell at is out of town and only worth the drive if the beehive lady is there. There is also a Mennonite market but its a much longer drive.

If by "shopping" you mean rubbing myself on cottage core bisexual girls while wearing trackpants and no underwear in the queue to the produce stand then yes, as often as I can

I sell honey at the local market. There are some farmers I buy veggies from. But there are larping Mennonites who truck commercial produce in, so it is the same as a grocery store. My friend raises grass fed beef and lamb. I get some from her. Other friends sell sauerkraut, cookies, caramels and another was featured in the NYTimes for the chocolates he makes. There are a couple mediocre bread bakers. The good one quit when his wife died. It is a decent market for the shit hole area I'm in.

My local one is only in the fall. Get great honey nut squash and leeks there though, as well as this bomb ass pink apple variety

Ever since I found out tons of people just buy fruit from big suppliers and pretend it's their own grown produce I've stopped going to them.

I stay at home on the weekends. I can't stand the general population. Let me tell you the thing I really like about Mondays..
