You mention Boston, so I will share my experience with New England. There are “farmers markets” advertised everywhere, but 90% its just a free way for people to setup stands for candles, honey and overpriced crafts. The few people who bring produce to the market often realize that there is no real demand so they can sell 500% marked up veggies to upper class wives that don’t actually do any manual shopping and know what prices should be. Not to mention the difference between quality.
It highly varies.
100% agree.
