Beyond the price, I've been doing almost all of my produce shopping at smaller markets for years as a way to avoid excess packaging. I browsed a Whole Foods last weekend and nearly everything had some form of label wrapped around the stem, was stored in a plastic mesh sack, etc. Whole Foods promotes environmental awareness as part of its package, but a full shop there would create a significant amount of waste / recycling compared to shopping at a local farm with a basket.
