[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what you are missing is that many of us live in urban areas so local farms aren’t very convenient. And at least at my farmers market the prices are very high - it’s always been a luxury to shop there. [/quote] +2. First off, even with the higher egg prices, local farms still cost more ($5/dozen minimum). Second, the farm markets have very limited hours compared to grocery stores - e.g. the downtown one is ONLY Sunday mornings, and I go to church. I'm in Frederick and could get to farms to buy in person in under 30 minutes, but with multiple kids and working parents that's not a great use of time or gas. I've always loved the idea of CSAs and there are dairy/egg CSA options with delivery here, but unfortunately they don't fit our budget. Maybe someday. [/quote]
