The question is, can we increase the size of the pie they say we're slicing too thin?
Farmer's markets still have a tiny percentage of the customers who buy all their produce at grocery stores. If we could get, say, 10% of those people to stop at the market first, we'd all have more business than we'd know what to do with.
