I'll have to check the eggs next time. Pasture raised eggs can be pretty damn expensive in the supermarket. I don't think our farmers market could possibly be double that, but you never know.

I usually only buy fruit, veg, and sometimes cheese and beef. It's more expensive, but not 5X or even 2X, though it might be close.

It's absurdly priced, if you ask me. Farm to table is intended to skip the middle man, i.e. supermarkets and shipping... it used to be that you get higher quality and support farms directly at a similar if not lower price. Now, farmers' markets cater to Pumpkin Spice drinking, puffy-vested people who put up potpourri wreaths for every season. Eggs, fruit, veg, and meats are sold alongside housing window replacements and insurance renewals.

In other words, farmers' markets in big metros have become co-opted by business. :(
