They have gotten so dang foo foo and precious that all they have is their stupid little $4 pints of anything. I want to buy big quantities (at an appropriate price) for canning and jam. I want to buy the big baskets of imperfect & overripe tomatoes & fruit at a reduced price that they used to set under the table. I quit yesterday at $8 worth, about a quart, of small wild plums for jam. I would have bought a LOT if they weren't so damn "hipster." I got news for you. It takes a lot of green beans to make a pot's worth. They grow like weeds and your farmers market ones are in no way superior to the ones I can buy at the grocery store. Same goes for squash. If you raise and sell okra you should actually EAT it sometime to know that if it is as big as my hand it is the equivalent of wood pulp and I'm not giving you $5 for a handful of an inedible veggie. Frozen would be far superior.
