My farmers markets are dominated by pop-up vendors selling the latest Instagrammable fusion food. Good for them. I’m all for small business but I way prefer roadside/parking lot fruit and veg tents which I go to just about every week in the summer. It really is a great way to help the local farmers make a bit of profit on their surplus.

Now raise minimum wage so the poor masses can actually afford to find and get to their local market. Not to mention, have the funds to start their own

In the US Pacific NW we are lucky to have a year round growing season. The produce varies with the seasons and that is hard to get used to. But in the long run it is good to live in synch with the seasons and with the local. We have community markets for food and crafts the become cultural events with music and plays. You can not imagine what a pizza is like until you make one with fresh basil, oregano, tomato, etc. It is not the same thing or experience. The markets are just as special.

Economy Basics:
– If you produce something someone can produce cheaper, you die.
– Solution = Quality, but the local Farmer isn’t better, its may be Bio, but chemistry is something good.

2years I got tired on going to Farmer’s Mkt as SF Costco has everything organic at better prices, and Farmer Mkts lead up to the final hour twice a week.
I used to love going to Farmer Mkts on the Peninsula & SF, now no longer!

Quite simple: A dollar to an actual human being (local producer) is much more valuable than the same dollar to some corporate chain’s balance sheet. Much, much more.
Why would you spend your money inefficiently? Sure, you get a similar product either way and maybe a bit cheaper, but don’t you care what happens to your money? After all, it’s 100% us, people, whose spent money powers the entire economy, nothing else. If you knew that someone takes your money and burns it, wouldn’t you rather spend it elsewhere? Doesn’t it feel good that you get to help someone like a producer or small business at the same time? Corporations can undercut small businesses with the power of scale, so it’s a never-ending cycle of putting everyone else out of business — unless YOU look beyond the few cents’ difference and realize the impact you have with choosing where you spend

The problem is that farmers markets are more expensive than typical grocery stores. I love farmers markets, bu they aren’t accessibly to all people simply because of price. Plus they aren’t as convenient (they aren’t as numerous, only open certain days, and don’t carry everything you might need). We need to find a way to incentivize people to use farmers markets more often and make it easier than using normal grocery stores.

The thing is in UK most items at farmers are more expensive. I am okay with making the more sustainable choice, but certainly poverty and those with smaller incomes cannot afford the prices. And I don’t mean ‘a pound a bowl’ types, because I dont think they are bringing it from local farms only the middle man for cheaper produce (ie not pesticide free). Or can someone correct me?
