What $54 buys you at the farmers market

July 2nd, 2008 at 07:45 pm

Dairy (13.75)
4 youghurts (12oz)
1 small milk (12oz)
bigger bottle skim milk

$5 tiny box goosenberries
$5 sweet cherries tiny box
$4.5 1lb sugar peas
$5 2 heads of lettice (very fresh, with roots)
$2 arugula bunch
$6 baby greens and 3 sweet peppers
$2 cheese danish
$4 dozen eggs
$4 tomatoes
$3 pumpernickel bread

after that I went to the supermaket and bought cucumbers, bacon and a bottle of water for the office: $10.

rice, pasta, potatoes would be much cheaper. I wonder if price has anything to do with so many people not eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables/leafy greens.
They are much cheaper at a grocery store, but there they are not "how vegetables should be". They don't smell nicely, greens are not crispy, tomatoes are not ripe... so I can't help but think that they are not as good for me as vegetables that are aromatic and can be smelled across the kitchen.
