How about the plastic wrapped cucumbers? They left the plastic on.

@suzycreamcheesez4371 with resellers, you don't know where the schit comes from or how safe it is. They may be getting it from a country where DDT is still in use. Here today, gone tomorrow.

Real farmers do not have the time to stand around at farmer's markets. If they got produce they sell it from the end of their driveway. You are there at the farm, and can smell the fertilizer and dirt. They are all different sizes and shapes . Not uniform at all. Sort of like what I grow in my back yard. When it is in season, I know. And no, we got no bananas. Banana peppers yes.

your translation is spot on.

@KL-rd9tg The grocery stores will put up with the "true farmer's market as that is usually a small time operation and seasonal". When it gets to be resellers, that is a different story because they do not have the food safety standards to adhere to, nor the "overhead cost-staff, heat, light, refrigeration, insurance that a big grocer has to endure and that cuts into their bottom line as they cannot sell the at the normal volume because of the guy out in the parking lot who pays almost nothing for overhead and is selling the same product. Lower volume in sales means the cost rise...to make up the difference. Resellers are taking advantage that was suppose to be ONLY the farmer's advantage.

Organic...it is grown in DIRT, GIVEN MANURE,WATER & they went cheap on insecticides(many which are organic)so basically any home gardener can grow it. "Organic" is a con in labelling for all stuff is grown that way. GMO is not in vege's yet and if it is in the seed, that is not the fruit you eat.
