Support your local farm economy, it's worth it.

I don't know what farmer's market you go to, maybe it's a big-city market where the "farmers" are just ripoff artists selling the same trucked-in-from-California stuff you could buy in the grocery store down the street. Where I live, the vendors at the market are actually local farmers, selling meat and produce from my area. The food is fresh, healthy, and high-quality, and I know they're not making a lot of money. It's hard enough to get by as a small organic farmer without people trying to shave your margins down just a little more.
