I don't think grocery stores need worry about going out of business due to
farmers' markets. I think for the most part (at least seasonally) its a
different customer base, those that want conveince and those that want fresh
produce (hopefully local) plus a shopping "experience". If the experience
is combined with great tasting food you'll have a repeat customer. I don't
think its truely fair to compare overhead grocery store vs. farmer at a
farmers' market in that there are very few grocery stores that are not huge
chains with a large corporation behind them and quanity buying power. Beth
