I'd like to back up what Willie is saying. I've observed the same problem
around this area but it seems like price often reflects quality too. If a
grower put a lot into the product and believes it's superior, they'll charge
for it. And if the consumer agrees, they'll pay for it. It seems like the
growers who charge the most seem to have the most consistant, long-term
success too.
