[quote=Anonymous]Redeeming food benefits at farmers markets suggest that demand IS present. Also, the brisk business done by produce markets all over southern Brooklyn (particularly in lower income immigrant communities) tells me that being poor and opting for fresh produce is not at all mutually exclusive. Interestingly, the produce there costs significantly less than in does in supermarkets here. I am wondering how those businesses can be successful and compete with grocery stores economies of scale, and what lessons can be applied here. [/quote]
