The thing I don't get is farmers markets being more expensive.


Farmers markets are incredibly shitty inefficient ways of getting food from farm to consumer. Also the people who shop at them tend to be much much richer.


People shopping at farmers markets are presumably less price sensitive than the general grocery buying public.


Farmers markets are often just diverting goods from the grocery store closer to you, for an upcharge (bc moving the goods one more time)
