I love our local Farmers Markets, I really do. Hand-made crafts, goodies, local produce, honey lemonade, fresh asiago baguettes, etc.
What I DON'T love is observing some of the farmers selling produce with the same packaging and labels I see in the grocery store from California/Guam/Peru/Abu Dhabi and claiming it to be theirs. Oh, and they charge twice as much.
I am all for supporting my local farmers/ranchers/crafters but not if they are blatantly being dishonest and using extortion.
"Yes, we just picked these avocados from the tree in our backyard this morning." Then I turned it over in my hands and noticed the sticker from Mexico. It went back into the basket and we moved on.
