It's definitely the freshness and taste that attracts people to farmers 
markets.  And it's the same reason people grow things in their garden.  
Nothing beats a tomato that's ripened on the vine in your back yard and 
picked at it's prime.  Nobody can match that although Farmer's markets come 
very very close!

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.

>How old is the grease?

New and fresh.

New grease, now three new guns, new tip available, doing everything 
by the book and it is rare that I can do a lube job on the backhoe 
without having the gun stop working.

After the new metal shop building is operational and a new compressor 
in residence, an air-powered grease gun may well be next.

What do greasers do, you know, the guys who go around to various big 
and expensive machinery in a production facility, and lube all those 
many fittings?
