I remember going to the farmer's market before it got ruined. You could get tons of good vegetables from what was very obviously like the farm family selling the stuff they'd grown. As I got older, more and more Mexicans were getting in buying cases of foreign stuff from food distributors and undercutting the farmers by something like a nickel, and instead of making them go broke of course they buy the 20 cent tomato instead of the 25 cent one. Last time I went to such a thing in a city, that's about all that was left and all the actual farmers were replaced by women selling their etsy shit.

many stalls are scams. they buy stuff from wholesale places and put on their own stickers.
You have to live in a place where small scale agriculture is still prevalent. You want to go to a real farmer's market?
Northeast Wisconsin. Any of the fox valley cities.
