sorry, but respectfully disagree. i've been a part of the calif. farmers markets since they began (early 80's), and was myself an oregon tilth certified organic grower in the 80's. stand by what i said. overall, better things there than at most farmers markets, and reasonable prices (OVERALL). one obviously needs to be a savy shopper wherever you go, including farmers markets.
