That article is something else. Guess the problem is just going to get worse
for the real farmers before it gets better. Until people quit buying from
resellers, chains who import mangos and other things, etc., it's hard to see
where it will stop. Unfortunately for the integrity of the real farmers'
markets, there is some segment of the population who is willing to pay a
premium for the same stuff they can buy in a chain grocery store for the
privilege of buying it outside. Guess it tastes better. I don't get it
either.

Laurie, who now expects any day to see her local Signature Kr0g3r fill up
that big exterior entryway with their own "farmers' market" and hopes nobody
who works for that chain is on this list to see this post and get any ideas
:-)
