I am Shayna's mother and went today to our local farmer's market in the parking lot of a regional courthouse. I go not only to see rarer kinds of produce without plastic wrap on it that was harvested that morning, but to make sure the profit from my purchases goes directly to the farmer. Many times the produce is the same price as the grocery store, but for the effort to drive 8 miles to the market instead of 2 miles to the grocery, I get a juicy peach instead of a stone hrd one that turns to mush if I leave it out at home. I also try new flavors and ways to prepare food, cross fertilized by the farmers and other shoppers.
