As a consumer, it doesnt makes sense, there is no shipping costs, no overhead, no storage fees, no advertising costs, no marketing, no employees to pay, it’s not usually their sole source of income, hardly use fertilizer or pesticides,
…however, as a gardener….ITS A DANG LOTTA WORK! AND NOT CHEEP!
Seriously, I’ve been going to farmer’s markets since I was a child (when one was nearby). They have ALWAYS been cheaper than grocery stores, especially for the basics. Exotic fruits and veggies may be expensive, but I rarely buy them, and they generally aren’t in the local groceries.
I sincerely miss the local farmer’s market that closed down about 8 years ago. It was a blow to my finances, my taste buds, and my diet.
