Farmer's markets aren't cheaper in sf. The quality is definitely better than whole foods - but some of the other retailers have great produce and lower costs than the farmers markets. I am not trying detract from farmer's markets as they are an important part of the ecosystem - but they are pretty bougie in town.
- beatpanda 8y agoThe Alemany farmer's market on Saturday morning is cheaper than anywhere else.
- boringg 8y agoTrue but that's also all the way down in Alemany and only one farmer's market out of all the farmer's markets in the city.
- Analemma_ 8y agoThat's unfortunate. I suspect it's a supply-and-demand thing: SF probably has more residents per capita who want to buy from farmers' markets than anywhere else in the country, and so prices rise accordingly. That definitely isn't the case in most places though (not even Seattle), so I stand by my advice for everyone else.
- boringg 8y agoSeems reasonable!
