It's absurdly priced, if you ask me. Farm to table is intended to skip the middle man, i.e. supermarkets and shipping... it used to be that you get higher quality and support farms directly at a similar if not lower price. Now, farmers' markets cater to Pumpkin Spice drinking, puffy-vested people who put up potpourri wreaths for every season. Eggs, fruit, veg, and meats are sold alongside housing window replacements and insurance renewals.

In other words, farmers' markets in big metros have become co-opted by business. :(
