I don't think that the people who frequent the local farmer's market
are suddenly going to rush to Wal-Mart. After all, a locally grown
tomato tastes like a tomato, and a Wal-Mart tomato is not going to
have that flavor, regardless of how it was grown.

When I have eggs for sale, I have no trouble selling them -- in fact,
I could sell twice as many as I have because people actually realize
the difference.
