The true farmers markets are just starting to get local produce.
It is sad to see people going to the farmers markets off season and buying the same produce that they would get in the store. It is also sad seeing people buying organic fruit out of season, knowing that that fruit was either in long storage, or shipped a long distance, so it was picked green, and who knows what all happened to it to get it ready to sell.
But I do love the fresh fruit from my small local orchard, when it is in season.
