This time of year you can skip the suprmarket and head to the local

I'm somewhat cynical about the local farmers' market. Much of the
produce isn't in season and if there are that many truck gardens in town
they certainly are well hidden.



The farmer's market in town here twice a week is certified by the state.
If you did not grow it, make it, or raise it, you cannot sell it.
Most of the regulars also sell out of their farm locations too.

There are some farm stands that do sell stuff they get from wholesalers,
but they are not much different than the supermarket.
