More distributer produce from California being sold under tents in splint baskets, eh? Sign me up! Good thing it's free admission, I can't stand it when those pesky farmhands keep asking to see my ticket.

Doctor K & copperfield--my disdain springs from my last experience with the "farmer's market" in front of Whole Foods in Mandarin. We were buying plums...whose stickers were strategically turned inward. They were from California.

I'm not disdainful of farmer's markets in general. I love the idea, and only wish that there was some integrity in the execution.
